Ha! Suffer.

A lot of people made their beds with brexit and now they (and everyone else) will have to lie in it.

They got their cake and it's rotting in their hands.

Enjoy post brexit life :idc:

It's ridiculous to say and assume every person living in Cornwall voted to leave though.

Enough of them voted to leave for it to win in Cornwall though, the people who didn't just have to suffer for the leavers' foolishness.

Yeah ******* em'

No sympathy from me.
There were never any guarantees of after brexit, the EU funding going to certain areas would be continued by this government.

So Cornwall, chose an uncertain path.
It seems now they may, those who voted to leave,dragging those who voted to remain with them, Will be stuck on that path too.

Not what I'm saying. Democracy happened, why are you getting mad at people for calling the situation what it is and not the people who voted to **** the economy? Your anger is misplaced.

There were a few guarantees, such as we're definitely going to be worse off. That no-deal will bring shortages, and cost jobs. Quite a few thinking about it. All project fear though.

Im not mad lol, call me selfish but Cornwall getting funded or not doesn't effect me.

It did, just like in December, doesn't mean you have to agree with it. But like you say, it is what is, Democracy happened.

if we were still in the EU we would have been expected to contribute to the trillions of euro aid package that is currently being proposed, so I think we got out of that one lightly

''trillions'' :conf:

don't overreact, every big EU nation like Germany, France, Netherlands, Belgium need to contribute their share of 3 to 5 billion for the aid package

my country had been against it at first but now we are happy to contribute some, given that what is asked is what we normally pay to the EU either so

they are in brussels now as we speak, for first time again for a EU summit

The big day has arrived the European Commission has laid out its vision for post-pandemic recovery funds, and it is worth 1.85 trillion euros. The plan relies on both the long-term EU budget (2021-27) and a special recovery fund.

A aid package that probably would have helped us out a great deal. But nah, R' Buris will sort it

We've spaffed (to use a johnsonism) more money on brexit so far than our entire history of payments to the EU. Yeah, dodged a bullet alright. We'd also be in a better position to pay that if we were part of the largest free trade agreement in the world. Covid costs will still be there for us to fund, we've just boxed ourselves in so we have to do it by ourselves and in an economy that will be crippling the citizens with tariffs.

You haven't thought this through.
