Any farmers that voted for Brexit - what do you think now?
Again - genuinely interested.

Wasn’t it a promise of less red tape and different grants. Bit like all the other empty Brexit promises

Lots of farmers and fisherman voted leave.
The majority I think.

They did up here

Four months of tumbleweed.

I can't decide whether
a) no farmers voted to leave, or
b) they're too embarrassed to discuss it.

It's a real conundrum Grin

🤣. Indeed!

Yeah, mine too. Massive great 'Vote Leave' signs in their feilds. Fishermen as well, they were all for it.

I wonder whether we’re in the same area.

Wow...in every single farm?

There are quite a few farms. Those signs are big though aren't they. Hard to miss.

I've got no sympathy for anyone shafted by brexit who believed the lies and voted to leave.

Hell mend them

I thought farmers generally didn't support Brexit? NFU was "remain"

And I think right now farmers are considerably more concerned by changes to inheritance tax, which are sod all to do with brexit.

I'm not sure that it's quite true to say sod all to do with Brexit. There is no direct causal factor, however Brexit did cause the economy to tank, in conjunction with the Trussterfuck, which means less revenue for the government, and so tax rises mean more revenue for the government. It is a tenuous link I grant you.

Also, Brexit did cause a very unstable government with no continuity in the cabinet and so a revolving door of ministers and no implemented plans.

Not that I think the Labour Party will solve it all, but at least they are nailing their colours to the mast and will be judged as such.

It is alla complete fuster cluck really.
