EU referendum, brexit and the aftermath

It's like he doesn't appreciate irony. Or he appreciates it so much he's trying to generate as much as possible.

Speaking to The Telegraph, Martin said: “The UK has a low birth rate. A reasonably liberal immigration system controlled by those we have elected, as distinct from the EU system, would be a plus for the economy and the country.

Can't possibly be Brexit that's causing an employment shortage, must be the birth rate.

He just needs to move his recruitment efforts to coastal communities, I'm sure that redundant fisher-folk will move to e.g. Nottingham to work in one of his pubs for minimum wage.

There's no point in trying to analyse things that people like him say, it lends more credability than is deserved.

But the level of conflicted ignorance in that guy is enormous, "If we elected people, who then chose to join an EU scheme to allow immigration, that would be ok because we'd elected the people who made that decision." That decision was made decades ago, I think it's going to remain like this for a little while now.

Fuck 'spoons

Yep - I have boycotted them for a while now.

Well, how are you going to push through changes without a democratic mandate within the EU?

Very interesting to see Biden now pushing for a corporation tax, I agree it's very disappointing. And frustrating for "tax honest" EU countries.

Same but it doesn't hurt to repeat the sentiment. :)

Yeah they'll never have my money again

Zero respect or empathy for these cunts. Especially because I cant ride my gravel bike through 'their land'.

Bet they went and voted Tory after the shoot of this video. Wankers.

I get that brexit voters shouldnt be held with contempt but these entitled rich pricks should.

Yeah I watched that in disbelief. Tom wanted change, just not that sort of change...

On Johnson:

"If he cared about Brexit he wouldn't be supporting Brexit"

On Brexit:

"I'm from a fourth generation farming family, I voted to leave"

That'll be the cause of most of the problems you'll be facing the next ten years then.

the music... dripping in self pity.

why don't they just convert their farms into glamping sites? torys love a bit of glamping.

fuck these people. you get what you fucking deserve.

torys love a bit of glamping.

this cuts deep @Mickie_Cricket

All they wanted was more profit and growth for their businesses regardless of the cost to everyone else. Is that so wrong?

I like the way that most of the calls from small business, large business, ministers etc are to create something with the benefits of the single market and customs union.

Hahaha hahaha. You won, get over it.

I think the smartest creatures in that video were the cows.

Incredible video!

bold for a cattle farmer to believe there is a stable future for them regardless of brexit tbqh, love seeing sad tories, warms the heart

As the saying goes: There is wiser eating grass ;)

Harsh but fair.

Tom wanted change, just not that sort of change...

Boris Johnson (actually Lynton Crosby) won the London Mayoral election in 2008 with 'It's Time for a Change'. People really do fall for this sort of superficial crap. Most people pay little attention to what their vote will really mean--they are very easy to lie to with silly slogans (£350m etc.), not because they're stupid, but simply because they're busy, and they've never been taught about democracy properly--many just vote for what their family/social environment has always voted for. And why not? For generations, politics was relatively stable and you knew what the Blues and the Reds stood for. The fact that Boris Johnson is a massive risk for this country because like Trump he appears to be remote-controlled by the global kleptocracy is something that we've only had since Cameron and Osborne, and they quite reliably and viciously, though more than expected, shat on poor and vulnerable people, but even they weren't in favour of 'Brexit', a Putin tactic to begin the destabilisation of Europe, and I have no doubt that it was partly because of Johnson's past close association with C&O that many Tory Leave voters just sleepwalked into disaster. Whether that'll ultimately affect the Tories' electoral prospects is anyone's guess--how many fishermen and farmers are there? While the electoral map is being manipulated, a few losses here and there will be pre-calculated as manageable.

All that said, I do despair of people who say they love their cattle and talk about where the meat goes in the next breath.

The thing that amazes me most was that chinless wonder waffling on about caring for the country like farming produces clean air and water.

Fuck you on about mate? It’s the largest producer of greenhouse gasses on the planet. It’s also responsible for significant water shortages and destroying ecosystems with pesticide usage. Not to mention overuse of antibiotics.

Also the woman saying 'I love animals' then instantly saying 'most of our meat goes to M&S'.

Fuck off. Really want these guys to struggle to make living but that wont happen the amount of money these cunts have.

the amount of money these cunts have.

Pleading poverty on their 1,700 acres or whatever it was that they've owned for 400 years.
