It’s the Express, they haven’t gotten over the death of Diana yet, give them chance to catch up with things like the Good Friday Agreement.

I see HSBC has released a ‘globalist Britain’ advert with comedian/presenter Richard Ayoade that I’m sure will antagonise some.

At HSBC UK, we believe that no man, or woman, is an island. The people, communities and businesses of the UK all thrive more when they’re connected to something bigger.

Don’t be ridiculous. Their mock-up looks more like the intro to Dad’s Army.

Of course you could argue that had they not privatised the strawberry floating thing then they'd have been able to have their Brexit based stamps.

The comments seem pretty positive at the moment.

Just read that article on Michael Gove talking about replacing farmland with meadows.

Is this is the real life? What are we going to eat Michael?

And now that they've capitulated to farmers every other industry and region that was getting EU subsidies but voted leave anyway (as farmwrs quite strongly did) is going to be even louder.

To be fair they were always going pay farming subsidies. It'll help slow down the rising cost of food and farmers are very pro Tory.

As part of the EU we would have been paying subsidies, but wasn't one of the points of leaving the EU to cut out spending money on things like that?

It was a strawberry floating tiny list at the beginning, but is there anything at all left on the "Pro Brexit" side?

I don't think the point was ever to stop paying subsidies inside the UK, it was to stop paying it to other countries. That said it wouldn't surprise me if someone had made that point.
