Brexit

Where will funding come from when we leave the EU?

I was googling a local tourist attraction yesterday and noticed the following:

The new Treak Cliff Cavern Interpretation Centre is part-funded by the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development - to upgrade the visitor offer, by providing new toilets, heritage and interpretation centre. Project reference number: 101006.

and it got me wondering where the deficit will come from when (if?) we leave the EU?

So many places of interest and industries benefit from EU funding and this is just one example.

Someone I know works as a project manager whose job it is to secure funding from the EU.

What other resources can we tap for funds once out of the bloc?

Oranginna - I would add that the EU trade policy is also protectionist to the extend it has a very detrimental effect on many poor countries and reduces their ability to move out of poverty.
FOM is also very protectionist with a definite bias towards white, Christian populations. We should have a policy that includes all creds and colours from all over the world who meet our needs for professions and abilities.

@Doubletrouble99
Complete nonsense regarding FOM. You seem to be getting FOM mixed up with immigration. It's this type of nonsensical conflating of two issues that got us into this complete fiasco in the first place.

FOM is our immigration policy as far as the EU is concerned Jason.
I do not like FOM as it gives EU citizens - mainly white Christians, preferential treatment over anyone else in the world.

@Doubletrouble99 no it isn't, you don't seem to understand the concept of the EU. It gives the right to move and work in any member country. This is not our immigration policy. It's convenient for you to conflate the two because since the EU is mostly white and Christian, you can use their movement to justify an inclusive immigration policy for the whole world, rather than a separate one for non EU citizens. The fact that within the EU we have control of all movements of people seems to have passed you by.

Jason - I understand completely the concept of the EU. The fact that EU citizens can come here and work/retire whatever is very relevant to why leavers want to change the status que. I am well aware that the UK could have put restrictions on the amount of people who came from 'newly' joined countries but they didn't. I'm aware that the UK could have imposed restrictions on EU citizens but they didn't.
Thus I feel a more generous immigration policy for all potential immigrants from where ever they come from should be in place. So treating everyone the same.

So the government could have put restrictions in place and made it fairer anyway, but instead they are going to do it using the gift of Brexit and trash the economy and people's lives at the he same time. Great!
