Nobody convinced me, I made up my own mind, not influenced by things written on busses either.
Leavers knew what they voted for, now they've got it, time for them to stop whinging.

Re: Debate

There are plenty of rich and greedy and born with a silver spoon leave voters. Pigeonholing is unhelpful and totally inaccurate.

No we haven't. I voted leave to get us out completely, not still be tied to the EU by an umbilical cord.

You are not capable to survive in the hostile world. Just like a baby you need the life support of your mother organism through that umbilical cord.

Re: Debate

The EU were never going to let us leave with a golden handshake, they don't want any other country to do the same. Why anyone expected that we'd get away without a serious struggle is wishing for the impossible.
Thr Government had no plans, no idea about what would happen, how is the ordinary person in the street supposed to know these things?
It's not going how leavers expected, now they want to blame remainers, that makes no sense.
We all have to live with this, thanks!

Please note, I used no derogatory terms, unlike those who wish to force their views on others and can not express other ways of doing so other than abuse.

This Commons Library briefing looks at the funding received by the UK from EU institutions and considers the implications of Brexit on the EU as a source of funding for regional development, agriculture support, research and innovation and other areas.

Public and private sector organisations in the UK receive funding from the EU through various channels – the UK received a total of €6.3 billion (about £5.5 billion) in 2017. The majority of EU funding is administered in partnership with national and regional authorities in Member States, though a share of it is directly administered by the European Commission.

The two most significant funding channels for the UK are the European Structural and Investment (ESI) funds*and the European Agricultural Guarantee Fund. For the current funding period (2014-20), the UK has been allocated €17.2 billion and €22.5 billion through these funds respectively.

Different regions within the UK have been allocated varying levels of funding, with less developed areas (particularly in West Wales and the South West of England) receiving more per person than other areas. The largest single allocation of 2014-2020 ESI funding in England is for the National Offender Management Service (NOMS) to fund activities that support the reintegration of prisoners back into the work force. 53% of the cost of this £247 million project will be funded by the ESF, with the remainder met through national co-financing.

The European Agricultural Guarantee Fund (EAGF) is the primary financial mechanism used for the implementation of the EU’s Common Agricultural Policy (CAP). The EAGF consists of direct payments to farmers to stabilise their revenues and market measures to tackle specific market situations, and the UK has been allocated €22.5 billion for the period 2014-20.

Organisations in the UK can also apply directly to the European Commission for funding from various other streams, often on a competitive basis following calls for applications. The UK is one of the leading Member States in securing funding for research and innovation and various other projects, with around 14% of funds allocated from the Horizon 2020 programme going to the UK, and British universities are in the top four higher education recipients to date. The typical aggregate value of direct funding is around £1-1.5 billion per year.

In addition, projects in the UK can be supported by EU institutions with funding from outside the EU Budget. Most notably, the European Investment Bank (EIB) – which borrows money on capital markets and lends it on favourable terms to projects that support EU objectives – committed an average of €5.4 billion to UK projects each year between 2011 and 2017. Many of these were major infrastructure projects, as well as some supporting growth and employment.

Re: Debate

My MP (Tory) is doing live sessions on FB and asking his constituents for their views on Brexit and the deal May has "worked out", all by herself by the seem of it.
If you voted leave and you don' t think you're getting what you voted for, the best thing to do is tell your MP, tell Parliament, go and march on Westminster and stop blaming ordinary folk who just voted as they wished.
If you wanted it, it's up to you to get what you think you voted for.

Solasch = Realist's twin brother. Neither have any knowledge of their own and they get around that by copying and pasting from internet sources in an effort to try to impress us all. The rest of us on the forum at least have the ability for discussion, rather than blindly using Google.
These manipulative know-it-all's who think we were born yesterday and who actually know very little except how to force their opinions on us are widely known on the net as trolls.
Solasch, Realist. Please join the only other nutjob on my ignore list so I no longer have to suffer your self-righteous drivel. Regards.
