The irony is that's a stupid statement.

Its about as ironic as Alanis Morisette.

It is a form of irony. There are several.

Yep several. Unlike those Brexit reports.

Grimsby boasted the biggest fishing fleet in the world in the middle of the last century, but that all went after the Cod Wars and the town has struggled since. It was one of the biggest supporters of Brexit, with a 70% vote for leave last June.

Seafood should be given special free trade status after Brexit to ensure Grimsby’s industry is not damaged, MPs have been told.

Key figures from the wider Lincolnshire food industry were in Westminster last week to provide the Government with their vision for meeting the challenges presented by the UK leaving the European Union.

Grimsby’s seafood processing industry faces a number of Brexit-related issues – from a potential 20 per cent labour shortfall to delays in fresh fish reaching the town’s factories, as well as import fees.

The industry and its big name producers, such as Young’s and Icelandic Seachill, imports 90 per cent of the fish it processes for retailers, restaurants and fish and chip shops.

The ironic ones.

An old man, turned 98
He voted Brexit and died the next day
Isn't it ironic, don't you think

Although of course there is some sympathy towards this side of things, unlike Cornwall the day of the result telling the Government to cover all their EU subsidies as they suddenly realised they'd lose them

Brexiters must honour extra cash pledge for NHS, says health chief
Simon Stevens to cite leave campaign’s claim of £350m more a week for health service in conference speech

Speaking at the NHS Providers conference in Birmingham, Stevens is expected to say: “The NHS wasn’t on the ballot paper, but it was on the battlebus. Vote Leave for a better funded health service – £350m a week.”

He will quote analysis by the Vote Leave campaign director, Dominic Cummings, that Britain would have voted to remain in the EU without the pledge, adding: “Rather than our criticising these clear Brexit funding commitments to NHS patients – promises entered into by cabinet ministers and by MPs – the public want to see them honoured.

“By the end of the NHS’s next financial year – March 2019 – the United Kingdom will have left the European Union. Trust in democratic politics will not be strengthened if anyone now tries to argue: ‘You voted Brexit, partly for a better funded health service. But precisely because of Brexit, you now can’t have one.’

“A modern NHS is itself part of the practical answer to the deep social concerns that gave rise to Brexit. At a time of national division, an NHS that brings us together. An institution that tops the list of what people say makes them proudest to be British. Ahead of the army, the monarchy or the BBC. Unifying young and old, town and country, the struggling and the better off.”

Stevens’ speech will immediately follow a keynote address from the health secretary, Jeremy Hunt, and comes as leading health thinktanks warn that NHS funding will be at one of the lowest rates in its history next year.

The Health Foundation, the King’s Fund and the Nuffield Trust calculated that the NHS needs £4bn more next year to prevent patient care from deteriorating following a joint analysis of NHS finances in England.

I think they're just drawing attention to what a ridiculous lie it was.
