  1. If only there were some way to have predicted this

  2. Virtually unavoidable, brexit knocked around 4% off our GDP. We are fundamentally less prosperous as nation than we were, as was warned time and again.

    And thats without getting into the fact that the EU was also putting more money into significant parts of our country than our own London obsessed government, which was somehow turned into a reason to trust whitehall over Brussels.

  3. Either way they get a free handout. 🤷🏻‍♂️

  4. Or deport illegal immigrants and give the money the government uses to house them and give some of it to Wales?

  5. # Wales

    Leave 52.5%

    854,572 VOTES

    Remain 47.5%

    772,347 VOTES

    Turnout: 

    71.7%

  6. Amazing how a bunch of people that in any other life would be irrelevant managed to make the whole country irrelevant too.

  7. All the absolute thick as shit country bumpkins and racists in the south voting for this. Idiots, to a person.

  8. Same happened here in Cornwall. Fooled into voting for it. 95 percent of funding gone. The utter cretins that turned the place blue off the back of all these lies won’t survive this GE.

  9. Sad for all the remainers, not just in Wales but all over who knew what would happen x

  10. Half it unless they decide to stop wasting money on unnecessary signs.

  11. Looks like a very unbiased source. I bet those numbers are completely comparable.

  12. Anyone surprised by this is an idiot. How anyone could listen to the drivel spouted by the Leave movement and believe it boggles me.

  13. Brexit. The gift that keeps on giving. Or not as it happens.

  14. Wales saw the most from the EU and theg voted majority to leave. Fucking idiots

  15. Imagine thinking it would have made a difference to people’s lives either way 😂

  16. Seems like a good deal from England’s perspective. On balance that would have come out of tax money we’d paid into the EU 🤷

  17. And a lot of public buildings and heritage sites (especially heritage railways, preserved mines, of which there are many) carry a plaque with a “Supported by the European Regional Development Fund” which now of course no longer applies.

    The EU has many different ways to offset funding gaps in poorer regions, even within its richest members. This aims to stabilise the continent as a whole and forge a path to more economic equality and opportunities. A slow but ambitious process that right wing thinkers in the UK decided they no longer wanted to benefit from. Because where would we end up with people being supported by the funds earned continent-wide from the result of rich people leeching off the labour of poors? If you let it get too far, you might get people living in relatively stable economic conditions who then don’t complain about them evil foreigners who swallow up all the money!!

  18. Wales voted for this, but did they really understand what they were voting for?
