Agree with all of this, it was similar when Farage was selling them bollocks in order to leave the EU, he just made stuff up, and hoodwinked the proles into voting leave.
The most startling thing about the Brexit vote was the Welsh farmers (it would have been more apparent on our local news than national, probably) voted to a man for Brexit, even though they then lost all their EU subsidies and ended up moaning about that too. Idiots.
Anyway, the folk you refer to vote for who speaks their languiage the loudest, and one of the big problems with labour is that no one knew their actual policies either, bar Starmer visibly and regularly throwing money at other countries and leaving ours to rot. They don't see what work is (allegedly) going on in the background.
His little speech was too late.
I'm reminded again of the crook Aaron Banks, who after working with Steve Bannon to get Trump elected (the first time) then teamed up with Farage and the Leave campaign to promote Brexit.
His strategy with Bannon and Trump and now infamous words 'Facts don't matter....you have to appeal to people's emotions'
Again 'Facts don't matter'
They knew that economists, civil servants, analysists pouring over hours of data explaining to people how leaving the EU would be damaging for the economy of the UK would not have anywhere as big an impact as slogans like 'Take back control' 'Get Britain out' and 'Let's fund our NHS instead'
Which all turned out to be bollocks
Which was all predicted by the economists.
Brexit cost the UK £90bn alone last year
Has he replaced tommeh as my boy?
