Forget the party politics for a moment, but did you seriously think that all that 'EU money' actually came from the EU ?

Areas like Bridgend , which voted tory to get out of Europe are going to regret falling for the lies of the conservatives .
They were told they would be rewarded , along with other places for losing out on EU money by getting cash from the UK Government Community Renewal Scheme
Bridgend has some of the poorest areas in the UK, along with parts of Caerphilly Borough
Both have been left out of the list of places that are to receive money from the renewal fund
But its not all bad news , of 35 places part of the list , 22 are tory seats , 10 are former Labour seats the tories won in 2019 and 10 are home to tory ministers
It has been argued that places like Bridgend and Caerphilly have been completely hung out to dry and in Bridgends case most certainly as they voted for Boris
Having analysed the data it appears they have been giving a complete beating and left to rot
Post brexit regional aid .........but they were fibbing
Forget the party politics for a moment, but did you seriously think that all that 'EU money' actually came from the EU ?
The Chancellors seat , very wealthy ?
Thats getting post European Brexit Aid
Its only fair
never mind that , the British people have spoken now , I didn't vote to leave so my conscience is clear ......but the tories said they would protect the areas formerly helped by European money ......wether thats all European money or part uk taxation , part uk.......doesn't matter
Areas like Bridgend are not going to be given money from the uk community fund , which is to replace money they previously got
Its an utter stitch up and a disgrace
I would say we told you so but its too late now
If it wasn't for Covid, no doubt you would still be demonstrating outside parliament, waving one of those ridiculous EU flags !!
Reminds me of those Japanese soldiers on remote islands still fighting for the cause years after the war was over. Although to be fair to them, social media was not what it is today.
I think we get the point that the result had nothing to do with you and we're all going to hell in a handcart.
Look on the bright side....... I had the winner of the National today !
Funny you mention caerphilly as I recall sky news were there the day after the initial brexit vote back in 2016.
The reporter by the castle grabbed some wandering local, asking how did they vote, I voted to leave of course, what have the EU ever done for us here? “Uh...funded the regeneration of your town centre” oh...I didn’t know that as he wandered off to greggs for a pasty.
Well you as a tory won't be going to hell in a handcart but the poor bastards in the Bridgend valleys will be
Fool em , use em , spit em out
As for demonstrating no , the country has spoken and now its got to deal with it
But I think the tories promising the poorer areas they would be looked after if they voted leave then saying well actually no , we were lying , is a portent for the people
But as long as tories are happy , well that's all that matters really
Handy reminder before the elections to vote for anyone other than tory scum please. They can't even pretend to give a toss about Wales.
Golden boy 'texts from Dave' Rishi gets his constituents some funding but Mornington Meadows isn't deprived enough apparently.
But the pro Brexit team wasn't the Tories, it was a cross party group who wanted us out, just like the Remainers were a cross party group that wanted us to remain.
But we mustn't let little things like facts get in the way of sludge's arguments.
I think Corbyn was originally anti-Europe, but chopped and changed a little. I think if he'd have come out and respected the Leave vote, we'd have had Brexit with a Labour government.

the tories promised to replace every penny of eu funding lost to brexit in Wales.......in their manifesto .......and areas which clearly gained from European funding have been excluded
A spokeswoman for the UK government's ministry of housing , communities and local government , responsible for the community renewal fund , refused to comment
Kin hell , bunch of chancers and spivs
Bridgend , Caerphilly ........widespread poverty and social deprivation .....sorry
Richmondshire , Chancellor Sunaks seat..........wealthy ........here is some cash 💸
The Conservative Party , vote for us and as long as you are rich , we will look after you
Everyone else can naff off
Sludge, some of the left like Benn always were anti EU. Their arguments about the perceived lack of democracy within the EU was central to their politics.
Some are having revisionist history here.
As it goes, I was full on Remain. The Tory governments trickle down policies will never invest in Wales, even though they’re now saving £350 million a week.
