Judging by the hysteria, propaganda, and deliberate misinformation propagated through the largely remain media, and the bile and open contempt shown for the 17.4 million citizens of the UK for putting a cross on a legal ballot, one might reasonably expect problems to arise caused by a small but very vociferous group of bad losers who have a vested financial interest in thwarting Brexit, or making a possibly difficult task considerably more so.

“The one good thing about Brexit? Leaving the EU’s disgraceful farming system
George Monbiot
Wed 10 Oct 2018
I’m a remainer, but there’s one result of Brexit I can’t wait to see: leaving the EU’s common agricultural policy. This is the farm subsidy system that spends €50bn (£44bn) a year on achieving none of its objectives. It is among the most powerful drivers of environmental destruction in the northern hemisphere. Because payments are made only for land that’s in “agricultural condition”, the system creates a perverse incentive to clear wildlife habitats, even in places unsuitable for farming, to produce the empty ground that qualifies for public money. These payments have led to the destruction of hundreds of thousands of hectares of magnificent wild places across Europe.
It is also arguably the most regressive transfer of public money in the modern world. Farmers are paid by the hectare for owning or using land; so the more you have, the more you get. While in the UK benefits for poor people are capped at £20,000 (outside London), these benefits for the rich are uncapped. Some landowners receive £1m or more. You don’t even have to live in the EU to take this money: you just have to own land here. Among the benefit tourists sucking up public funds in the age of austerity are Russian oligarchs, Saudi princes and Texas oil barons…..” [More]

Who is he?

I'm still wondering who this is. Perhaps Kingfisher who posted it could enlighten me?

When we lived in Cyprus, quite a few years ago, I well remember the Euro having parity with Sterling, if that happened now, remainers would be screaming BREXIT. Currencies fluctuate they always will, and no shortage of medication here.
