"So, genuine question, what did the EU, specifically Brussels, do for us?" The eu has ploughed millions into liverpool and other areas. If people think that boris and his Chums would do they same, they should seek help. I also think being part of one of the biggest economies in the world,would have its own advantages. | |||

"So, genuine question, what did the EU, specifically Brussels, do for us?" They actually did a lot for us through the European regeneration and development fund.... and places like the south west, wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland and north east England were all net beneficiaries to the EU because of what came back.... And before you use the “well it was our money” argument ... I didn’t see our government dipped their money in.... | |||

"So, genuine question, what did the EU, specifically Brussels, do for us?" Why do you include Brussels? Seems odd! Free access to nearly 500 million people, working time directive, ease of movement to our nearest neighbours, increased investment in the UK leading to an increase in GDP, investment in deprived areas such as South Wales and the North East, banned roaming charges when on holiday, simplified trading with EU companies, set certified standards that make trading easier and it easier for consumers to have confidence, made sharing information on security issues easier. But you can also look up what they have done for you area on the myeu.uk site if you want to know for your local area. | |||

"So, genuine question, what did the EU, specifically Brussels, do for us?" They made 'union only jobs' illegal which was a good thing. Now you can't force an employees to join the union. But to be fair that isn't much considering they undermined the entire concept of democracy. | |||

Council of Ministers, European Parliament (MEP’S) European Commissioner are all elected with by direct or indirectly House of Lords on the other hand and is an unelected body .... I wonder where the democratic deficit is....  | |||

"So, genuine question, what did the EU, specifically Brussels, do for us?" Why choose a tiny tiny area of the EU to specifically ask about what "they" did for us other than to use it as a loaded question. The benefits of EU membership has been explained and backed up with the facts over and over and over again since 2016, which unfortunately cannot be said of the merits of leaving and the facts to back that side of the argument up | |||

Because of this...ALL these regions ended up being net beneficiaries of EU money.... all the people in these regions ended up getting back more money from the eu than they ever put in....
Ah, here we go again with ‘facts’
Neither areas nor individuals pay monies directly to the EU. All UK taxes are paid to the UK Government which in turn makes its contribution to the EU. The EU then returns some of this money to fund certain schemes, the likes of which you mention.So in fact, it could be argued that monies raised from other areas of the UK are actually funding such schemes.
It's not really a point though is it? I mean unless you could explicitly prove the government would spend it on deprived areas anyway. Given David Cameron's answer to Nick Thomas-Symonds who asked if the Prime Minister agreed that if his constituency "loses a penny piece of its funding under his successor, that would be a gross betrayal". I would not be to hopeful of that.
Think this disproves that theory quite conclusively

"Cornwall could be "significantly worse off" after Brexit, receiving just 5% of what it needs to replace EU funding, according to a local councillor.
One of the UK's poorest areas, Cornwall has applied for £700m over 10 years from the government to replace EU cash.
However, there are fears that the county could get as little as £1.8m in the first year.
The government said it would work with "councils and other key stakeholders on how best to use" money it provided."
‘Could be’, so we’re talking hypothetically again.
Jesus, do you really think the government are going to match the funding given the level of concern shown? "The conservative councillor has called his own boss a liar. Dont bother arguing. | |||

"So, genuine question, what did the EU, specifically Brussels, do for us?" It's absolutely mind boggling than even after all this time.

"Wales’ net benefit from the EU equated to around £79 per head in 2014. This compares with a net contribution of £151 per head for the UK as a whole. So Wales makes money from the EU, England is more difficult to breakdown with place live London receiving very little money from the EU while Liverpool be benefiting in the same way as Wales. One of the intentions,I think of the eu,is to look at areas which have been left behind,and to "level them up' " I agree many part of the U.K. have been class as Stage 1 areas as they are classed as Economically deprived areas. | |||

"So, genuine question, what did the EU, specifically Brussels, do for us? Why do you include Brussels? Seems odd! Free access to nearly 500 million people, working time directive, ease of movement to our nearest neighbours, increased investment in the UK leading to an increase in GDP, investment in deprived areas such as South Wales and the North East, banned roaming charges when on holiday, simplified trading with EU companies, set certified standards that make trading easier and it easier for consumers to have confidence, made sharing information on security issues easier. But you can also look up what they have done for you area on the myeu.uk site if you want to know for your local area." Well said all good comes from being in the EU. Can't see any downsides. But we are going to find out the downsides soon due to brexiters. | |||

He disagreed with Thatcher approach. He didnt rejunecate the city.(how could he?) That was the objective 1 money You are so anti tory you just cant bring yourself to give him credit for anything. I find it sad that you are so filled with hate that you cannot even acknowledge what he did for your city. Luckily your way of thinking is very much in decline and people now are much more likely to give credit where its due. just like the labour mayor who gave him the freedom of the city." | |||

And before you use the “well it was our money” argument ... I didn’t see our government dipped their money in....Well they could have if they hadn't been giving it to the eu in the 1st place for them to give a little back and they say brxiteers were fooled."

But what is their core base now? The red wall seem to have realised that Labour no longer speaks for them or represents them and as long as they support Labour nothing improves for them. Now that they have elected the Tories maybe they will reap the benefits and the Tories will reward them and expand their 'core base'

The beauty of democracy is that if you think it’s unfair, you can vote in a different UK government
How would a different government be able to get EU funding back for Cornwall?
Have you not been paying attention? EU money for Cornwall doesn’t come from a magic money tree.
We pay in 18 billion, they give us back 9 billion and tell us where to spend it. What a deal lol.

Is it though? I've voted in every UK election since I could and my votes counted for nothing, at least in the EU election my vote actually counted.
So you haven’t managed to convince enough people of your arguments then. Maybe.... because it’s a weak argument?
What is that even meant to mean? I'm pointing out to you that the first past the post system isn't as democratic a system as you think and you reply like that?
Ah right, you don’t like first pass the post.
Simple, just campaign for the Liberal Democrat’s and you can have PR
I'm finding it hard to understand you are you implying I'm a politician?
Do you think the first past the post system is fit for purpose?
Oh right sorry, thought you knew everything
Well you could have PR like Albania or Italy
Oops not Italy unless you want weak and wobbly government. I’m not fully up to speed with Albania tbh.
All I’m saying is if like most Remoaners if you think you can do better, put yourself up for election.
Or are you just a critic on the sidelines unwilling to get in the arena.
Great reply, are you standing for a party then? I just can't see how you can back a system that can return an outright winner with less votes than the runner up.
At the moment I have put my political ambitions on hold seeing as the Brexit argument has been won. You will be the first to know if I decide to stand for election in future however.
So, you keep on bringing up 'democracy' but you are quite happy with a system where the party with the majority of votes can loose and a massive proportion of the votes don't count? "Once again, you can’t propose anything better, you just moan. As Churchill said, it’s the worst possible voting system, apart from all those other ones. | |||

"I remember reading a piece a while ago which said some parts of the UK were on a par with some of the poorest in europe,in terms of life expectancy. Yet in London you have houses costing millions and ostentatious wealth. Considering this inequality has been there for decades,and is widening, and to say 'well the gmnt would have made the difference,if not for the eu.'has no basis in fact or reality whatsoever.well that will be us in Teesside we have the lowest life expectancy in the U.K. I think and highest suicides but that’s been like that for decades Labour and torries You realise that apart from blair..the tories have been in power since 1979?" yes of corse but you say that like we had a long life before 1979 the steel chemical and coal industries arnt good for long life expectancy’s can’t pin everything on the torries bud lol | |||

"So, genuine question, what did the EU, specifically Brussels, do for us?" What did you do to take advantage of the opportunities that EU Membership offered you? Did you take advantage of seamless import and export opportunities? Did you or your kids educate themselves or work in the EU without let or hinderance? The answer to your question is actually in your question. Millions of people in this country were so disenfranchised by our own political system here in the U.K., that EU opportunities may as well have been Martian benefits. Being at the heart of the Eu and influencing its direction was an inherently good thing and was recognised as such by prior Conservative Governments. Sadly, they subsequently fucked over the population so badly that anything outside the here and now for millions of Brits seemed irrelevant. | |||
