I've had people tell me they voted 'to show you lot a bit of hardship, it'll do you good'.

Idiotic.

Perhaps, but 'show you lot a bit of hardship, it'll do you good' was basically the Tories' 2010 campaign slogan.

If you spend six years kicking a dog, you can't exactly claim umbrage when it suddenly bites you.

INEOS threatens to close UK plant unless it can dodge EU pollution rules


The chemicals giant said thousands of jobs could be lost unless it is exempt from EU clean air and water regulations, documents reveal.



INEOS, the petrochemicals giant owned by the UK’s richest man Sir Jim Ratcliffe, has said it could close its Middlesbrough manufacturing plant unless it is allowed to ‘defer compliance’ with EU rules designed to prevent air and water pollution, according to documents obtained by Unearthed.
An analysis of data from the Environment Agency (EA) also reveals the plant clocked up 176 permit violations between 2014 and 2017, 90 of which related to air and water emissions. An EA spokesperson said: “air emissions are well over legal limits and this poses a risk to the environment”.

Weirdly wasn’t he a huge leave supporter ? Britain’s richest man fighting the elite

This is essentially what the rich are wanting Brexit for - to race to the bottom and profit off it.

Rees-Mogg stands to make a fortune off Brexit, for example.

Don't think it was directed at the Tories, it was directed at 'youth'.

So was I. I played for Stoneycroft in the top division of the League in my early '20s.

Leave voters in Surrey are not the same as Leave voters in Stoke.
