    You mean like that small area in Brussels that nearly stopped free trade deal with Canada?

You don't think we could actually do this without screwing the country over/ Go on, have a think? Or, as I suspect, is this just a little smoke-screen excuse to hide you're real xenophobic reasons?

    The mind boggles at the logic of Brexiters

    FFS .... are you for real? You're blaming the EU for 40 years of the UK government not delivering on policies you believe in? You do understand that this isn't the fault of the EU, and even once we leave the EU this situation won't get better?

    Who's "they"? The various governments of the period? If so, that's a very good question.

    Why haven't UK governments spent money on left-behind communities? Why haven't UK governments put more money into the NHS? Why haven't UK governments put funds into parts of the country starved of investment compared with London and other big cities? Why haven't UK governments taken the net tax take from migrants and used it to build schools and other public services?

    started a topic Remain dividend

    Remain dividend

    A pledge to spend the “dividend” secured by staying in the European Union on nationwide regeneration is being drawn up by senior Remain strategists ahead of a possible second referendum. In anticipation of a fresh poll, they are developing plans for a grassroots campaign that will operate without a traditional figurehead.

    Eyecatching promises to spend billions on “left-behind” communities, the NHS and areas affected by high levels of migration are among the ideas being developed by campaigners keen on avoiding the mistakes of the much-criticised 2016 operation.
