Love how Sunak says "we're working very hard with individual countries" to 'allow farmers to trade with the EU', when trade and agriculture are both exclusive EU competence. Fucking idiot.

Not to defend those farmers too much but they were lied to more than almost anyone else about the benefits of Brexit. They’ve been under huge pressure for multiple reasons so any promise of some sort of lifeline must have looked amazing.
As for believing the tories…can’t help them there.

Yeah but when things seem a bit shit which are you going to want to believe? False promises or that everything will stay as it is?

Farmers are always fucking complaining. Country file is basically a forum for farmers to complaint to the nation.

If it's not the farmers it's the fishing industry, look guys lots of people said Vote Leave/Leave EU were lying cunts but you chose to believe them didn't you?
Some in both industries tried their best to get people to see through the bullshit but lies are always much easier to swallow than the truth.

It's one pollster but this is quite fun:
Basically everyone is fucking sick of the Tories and have stopped listening to a word they say.

I don’t believe Sunak ever polled that high in early 2023.

If Sunak turns that around, it will be the greatest comeback since Lazarus.

People are responsible for their actions, and they're responsible for their vote. If you get it "wrong" it's on you. If you can be so blatantly lied to and fall for it then you are an idiot, and that is on you. It's not like there was active supporession of opposition voices or people expressing the risks. If opposing views were being rounded up and put in a gulag and not given air time, then *maybe* I can buy it from a state driven propaganda point of view. But this was very very far from the case. People were stupid and decided to believe things because they wanted to believe in fairy stories instead of people who were literally called experts. My only regret is I'm stuck on the same island as them as we suffer the consequences of their stupidity. Fuck them, the cunts.

I know right, it's constantly been "I know what I was voting for" but then are very keen to pass the buck when they're directly affected. Essentially it feels like they wanted to hurt certain people but are shocked that that they would be one of the causalities. Fuck em.

Personally the worst part is having to listen to people moan about how difficult it is to send things to Europe now, or how they're having a hard time trying to get their Bulgarian girlfriend a visa when I know full well they voted leave. What the fuck did you think would happen??

What the fuck did you think would happen?? At a guess, that all the Muslims would be sent back to "somewhere" and that Britain would still keep everything from the EU ban anyone foreign from coming in even non EU immigrants because British people for British jobs or some shit and there still would be infinite growth, oh and the NHS would get 350m a week. Is that about it?

Nah. Fuck this argument in its arse till its eyes bleed. This is where I am. The NFU even recommended their members vote remain and you still saw those fucking billboards everywhere.

To the surprise of nobody, the mad evangelical narcissist racks up more evidence of being a lying, hateful demented scumbag.

I’d be surprised if she even knew what the T in LGBT stood for.
