Full Title: Cornwall votes decisively for Brexit - then seeks 'assurances' that it won't lose the £60million a year it gets in EU subsidies
Cornwall has begun pleading for reassurances that it won't lose the £60million a year it gets from the EU - just hours after the county's residents voted overwhelmingly for Brexit.
Some 182,665 Cornish residents sided with the out camp, while just 140,540 voted to remain.
But the reality of the situation may have started to hit home already in a county reliant on the £60million its gets every year for the European Union.

I'm sure they chose the responses to actually match the opinions of people they asked, and certainly NEVER would have cherry picked responses to go with their dogma.. The press would NEVER EVER EVER do that.
I’d be ashamed of entitled wimps who want their handouts over principals.
In other words, the GOP-Establishment in America who wants a “redo” of the Primary Vote by “the People” in favor of their own arrogant opinions have their counterparts in Europe.
How much of that money is spent on social engineering?
Get used to it . . . we are going to have a steady stream of these “buyers’ remorse”) stories from the same elitist globalist media that warned doom and gloom throughout the Brexit campaign. BUT, the sky is not falling.
After some inevitable and predictable bumps, the English economy will be back to where it is now and then steadily improve. Ditto the social aspect of the Brexit.
Long live the Queen!

Now, that Britain doesn’t have to ship train loads of money through the Chunnel to Brussels, the money for such welfare might be available locally. In the EU scheme of things, Britain was a “have” country — and was subsidizing the PIGS, amongst other places.
This reminds me of the way that when there’s a Gummint shut-down, all of a sudden the National Parks close:
There’s a very heavy-handed effort to MAXIMIZE pain.
It’s like the collectivists are having a vicious tizzy against The People:
“You are NOT OBEYING MOMMY..!!!!”
In Yellowstone I remember park staff CONED OFF scenic photo turn-outs and even BOARDED UP lodge windows that offered scenic shots.
Then of course there were the doddering old veterans at war memorials theatened with arrest, etc.
That’s going the be the media theme right up to Trump’s election:
Going around to all the Brit places that will lose EU subsidies.
“Did you know that THIS, THIS HERE!!! Is the money you will soon LOSE..?! DID YOU KNOW THAT..?”
And it will be played even here in the US.
And they’ll start doing projections of what lettuce and fruit will cost after The Wall, etc.
“Now, that Britain doesn’t have to ship train loads of money through the Chunnel to Brussels, the money for such welfare might be available locally.”
Exactly.
The UK pays about two pounds to the EU, for every Pound they get from it.
They will be able to cover all their EU subsidies and still clear an extra $7 billion/year, that used to fund the PIGS - Portugal, Italy/Ireland, Greece, and Spain (and the EU bureaucracy itself). Germany, France and the UK were the main bill payers for all the socialist EU transfer payments.
There could also be savings from reduced regulatory burden, and from unfunding their EU bureaucracy.
I have ancestors from all over the UK. Cornwall looks appealing, with milder weather.
And I really enjoyed watching Doc Martin, too.
Watch the latest Poldark series from a year ago...
They used Cornwall like an actual “character”
many outdoor scenes to show the beauty of the area...
the scenery is gorgeous..
This reminds me of the way that when there’s a Gummint shut-down, all of a sudden the National Parks close:
= = = = = = = = = = = = = =
The beauty of the whole Monument Shutdowns was that normally the areas are ‘policed’ by volunteers with a Park Ranger or two in sight so maybe 10 Rangers were ‘guarding’ 8 or 9 monuments.
The shut down ‘required’ 4 or 5 per unit so ‘we’ had to pay maybe 50 ‘guards’ instead of the normal 5.
Only in a FUBAR situation does that scenario begin to make some kind of sense..
Of course the sheeple don’t understand this and when you point it out they start railing you....
Makes more sense ‘talking’ to my cat than it does to the ‘modern liberal’.
This article is written as if there is one singular entity, Cornwall, and this singular entity has done these two contradictory things. But of course it is individuals who are balling for the subsidy and they are not necessarily the same individuals who voted to leave the EU. In fact, the whining is almost certainly coming from local government officials.
That’s on PBS.
Suck it up, buttercup. Can't have your cake and eat it too.
