I guess that's one way to show you don't understand the issues

And you don't understand that without the vote of those in depressed areas
of the UK, Brexit would not have been carried. And they voted on a lie
from the likes of Farage that leaving would improve their lot.

There was no lie. No more than those in Project Fear.

Perhaps if there was more economic and infrastructure uniformity over
the UK Brexit may never have happened. I expect in those areas wages
hadn't risen either over the previous 10 years or so.

Since it was a basic tenet of the Thatcherites that market forces
shouldn't be opposed and the poor areas should get poorer since they
weren't so profitable; but also an EU policy to subsidise and
otherwise assist poorer regions; and since EU money has been about the
only thing promoting new development in Wales and the English regions, I
actually agree but fail to see how *leaving* the EU is going to promote
"economic and infrastructure uniformity".

However I am always glad to hear bizarre beliefs and theories.
