Brexit Thread

[Pannonian]

The money the EU gave to the various areas of the country was £4.5 billion, the money our government gave to the EU was 13 Billion, the UK can take that 13 billion they no longer have to pay, use it to cover the needs of the nations who relied on the EU and still have 8 billion left over to do whatever we want with.

Will the government do that? That depends on your vote next election, you, me and every voting man and woman must vote in the politicians who we think can get it done, and considering the two main parties are set to break up we can now afford to vote for third parties, the big two can go straight to hell.

It's too late to change the direction but we can make this direction work.

A disproportionate amount of the numbers the UK gave was from London. Why should London hand out money to the regions to subsidise them? If we no longer have to fund these failing areas, we can concentrate investing on infrastructure in the south east that directly or indirectly benefits us. Why should London tax money that can be spent on Kent be spent on Wales or Yorkshire or Cornwall? People commute into London from the neighbouring counties. That's all we need to spend on. If the regions want investment, they can pay for it themselves. Socialism is dead, as IA is fond of reminding us. The regions should stop skiving off London, and start pulling their socks up and deal with their own problems.
