It’s not just that they didn’t see or weren’t told, they were also lied to. Grimsby has suffered over the years due to the fishing trade being under pressure and they willingly went along with fools like Boris and liars like Farage. And 70% of them didn’t bother to check if they were being lied to, they just decided that that nice Mr Farage wouldn’t lie! He smokes and enjoys a pint! He wouldn’t lie to us! Remain people are just part of Project Fear, we will be fine after leaving!
Those fools who refused to listen to “project fear” are likely to get what they deserve over the next few years. And I bet that when it all goes wrong, they will continue to believe the lies of the arseholes that sold them snake oil and instead of blaming themselves, they will blame the EU, Remainers and the liberals who tried to warn them.
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
I have zero sympathy for any Leave voter that ends up worse off because of Brexit. 70% of Grimsby can burn for all I care.
