    I read just this week the EU were committed to funding development in Cornwall for over 100 million pounds. For a similar period the tories have promised 3 million.

    virtually all the infrastructure and capital developments funding into South Yorkshire came from the EU under the objective one status the area had. The Tories invested nothing and that doesn't appear to be changing

    Saved me the effort of stating the obvious, thank you. I'm amazed at how few people in South Yorkshire knew where funds for regeneration were coming from.

    Really on what basis, The Tory’s stop the habit of a lifetime and stop their vindictiveness towards towns like Barnsley?

    Only on Wednesday of this week, a tory mp for Thanet asked a question in the house about how the government was going to support a local (to him) farmer who had to let rot crops worth £320,000 - that's just one farmer. The MP sarcastically blamed it on the pandemic, but the front bench turned around to look at him in shock.The fishermen have been sold down the river, we are short many thousands of lorry drivers, and all this because of Brexit. The government has employed someone on £140,000 per annum to find benefits of Brexit - almost certainly because they can't find any themselves. It is a disaster. I don't feel sorry for myself but the younger generation who mostly voted to stay in will bear the brunt of this ridiculous decision to leave. There is no evidence of the EU collapsing, like there is no evidence of Turkey joining anytime soon,. like there is no evidence of £350 mill being sent to the NHS. Brexiters - stop kidding yourselves for goodness sake. Yes it will; get better in years to come, but that will only be after we hit rock bottom and the only way will be to get better.

    he’s brilliant. If I got that angry I’d have an hernia. Love ‘We See You’. What a tune that is.

    That level of investment was over 30 years ago and today's world is a completely different place . Your right to highlight the Tories complete lack of investment over the austerity years but the problem with that narrative is the EU had the exact same policy .

    https://www.cnbc.com/2018/12/05/aus...reece-what-does-that-mean-for-the-region.html

    Interesting times ahead non the less . As to reiterate an earlier post I'm quietly optimistic for the future and I don't buy into the disaster some make out though in equal measure I never bought into the sunlit uplands narrative either .

    Have you ever been to the Dearne Valley. Basically Europe paid for it.

    wouldn’t it be totally surprising if the tories failed to match that investment. I’d be shocked. I mean look at Cornwall. They have only reduced funding by 97%

    The working classes in the North benefited because without EU investment into ex Coalfield and steel communities in the north we would be in a much much worse position with many fewer jobs and living alongside the decaying infrastructure and toxic wastelands left behind when the pits coking works and steel works closed. It was the EU that poured money into South Yorkshire in the 80s and early 90s to clean the mess up left behind by Thatcher's war on the working classes not the Tories in fact they actually tried to block most of it.

    Well, it's done with now. The vote went how it went, and the country voted in who they voted in. We now have to just make the best we can out of it.

    Hopefully, the powers that be will put some grant or funding in place to allow people to start and grow businesses in this country to manufacture, grow or process as much of the things we're struggling to get through the border as possible(I know, this lot will give it exclusively to their mates). Pint glasses for example. Someone in the thread said there is no longer a UK-based mass producer of pint glasses. Well, now is the opportunity for someone to try and set a factory up making them.

    I know it's not that easy in reality, but it's got to be the way forward for the country now we've left.

    Apparently the way forward with the Tories is to go backwards. There is no evidence whatsoever that a Tory Govt will invest in towns like Barnsley. Indeed, as we have seen,The Chancellor of the Exchequer’s constituency of Richmondshire is seen as a more deserving case for financial assistance than Barnsley. Levelling up my arse

    I know somebody who’s £800 a week wages were paid by the EU regeneration budget. The daft get voted leave! I suppose he’s complaining about losing £20 a week off his benefits now.

    There's loads of signposts saying 'funded by the EU' near where they have invested sh1ttonnes more money than the Tories ever did. It's like people saw that and thought - nah, I'll agree and vote for the other lot who have done chuff all for me over the years!
