Re: HS2 and the Galileo replacement
bringing in workers from East Europe (and the resentment it created) as an argument for voting brexit is what I always find hilariously hypocratic. I mean, WHO profited from those cheap labourers? (other than themselves, to a tiny degree, given the shitty money they were paid?) It was their employers who were making tidy money and, sorry folks, the indigineous population, aka the Brits, who enjoyed lower prices (relatively) and higher standard of living (relatively), while they couldn't be fucked to pick up their own strawberries when they could sponge on life-long benefits and moan about bloody foreigners taking away their jobs. Now we can build our own sat system, pick up our strawberries and wipe your own sorry bottoms in the golden wrinkly age, brexit means brexit, eh? I wonder who's to blame? Ah, but of course, the bloody EU!
