Farmers' Madness

[securespark]

Some farmers who voted leave are backing BJ despite the fact that if no deal happens, they admit they will go out of business overnight.

Barmy. This is why the public should not be allowed to vote on matters concerning the future politics of our country. People are mostly dimwits with no bloody idea how the country is run.

Yeah, I heard that on the radio...

I believe one of them said he expects their own industry to suffer carnage...

Talk about turkeys voting for christmas...

The real problem though is that these nutters want to take all of us down with them!

The debate on sheep last night in the commons was interesting.

It was MPs talking about real details, with common sense.

They were going through all the complications and risks of trading under most favoured nation status......which is quite complex as actual tariff rates are not straightforward.

However the upshot is that in all Brexit scenarios, sheep farming is in real danger of collapse.

In the 1980s the Tories destroyed industry in the north. The EU helped save these areas.
Who is going to save the farming community when the Tories and Brexit kill them off?
If no deal goes ahead, there will be farmers reaching for their shotguns one last time.

Really? Do you have any facts on that? I heard the opposite. Did you see it on some official site? I heard mine from a bloke down the pub so no facts on that. Mind you his even drunker mate was saying the opposite. Perhaps that was who you heard it from?

Oh look it's the naysayer...

He even argues against his own beliefs

They've already shot themselves in the foot...

Where should they aim this time?

this wasn't a joke unfortunately. Suicide rates in the farming community are high at the best of times. If farms collapse, their owners usually give up all hope.

Isnt this evidence that people can vote against their self interest because of the lies that were said.

 

[ellal]

Happy now, ellal?

Far from it...

It is of course the dumb quitters that are determined to drive us all off a cliff edge...

And for what?

You still won't tell us of the benefits of leaving the EU

Lies told, yes...

But simply put, stupidity if you believed in those lies!

Maybe we need to introduce exams for MP's to pass before they can be considered for the job.
Currently only qualification seems to be ability to talk bullshite.
