It just demonstrates how many very stupid people there are in the UK to have voted the Tories in with a conglomeration of tossers, incompetent arseholes, fat toffs interested in their own gains and self-importance in it.

Never trust a tory

Mark Blyth the economist I quoted earlier talked at length about how the UK's economy is set up so that the only way to make money is to keep squeezing at labour.

So we live in a system thats objective is to make money and it's only avenue to make money is to exploit the people that populate the system. 

Here's the book he references

"Europeans are leaving England but staying in Scotland and Northern Ireland

Archived versison here

"Researchers found that for the year ending 2019 to 2020, the population of EU-born individuals in England reduced from 3.23 million to 3.03 million. The figures for Scotland rose from 238,000 to 240,000, and a similar rise was seen in northern Ireland – from 89,000 to 90,000. The numbers for Wales also increased, from 78,000 to 83,000."

(So England lost 200,000, Scotland gained 2000, fewer than Wales, which headline omits...)

I don;t think there will be much sympathy for the fishing industry because there were a lot of vocal fishermen desperate for brexit to happen

And then there’s cunts like me, who don’t have any sympathy, but find the whole thing tremendously funny, unbelievably funny really. They get what they deserve.

not sure why you would find it funny, not all fishermen voted for this, the more vocal greedy ones did. There are a lot of people in this industry who didn't ask for it

Yes that is true. Unfortunately, it is always the arsehole ones that get the media coverage. Heck they proved themselves as arseholes in 2014 and again over voting for Brexit but the eejits still go on the record to blame the SNP/Scottish Government who were against Brexit all along. Look closer to home for someone to blame arseholes.

And oncemore we're back to the media who so willingly provide a platform for the arseholes.

That’s a fair point. Suppose you only see the arseholes on tv.
