Promises on NHS spending will not be met, EU immigration may not be controlled and leaving the EU could take several years are among a series of claims made by leading Brexit campaigners in the hours following the nation’s shock decision to leave the EU.

It's only been one day. Bremainers are trying to pump out as much propaganda and fearmongering as they can.

It's Leave politicians that are saying those things, Green. They're being forced to cut back on their promises because they were unrealistic.

Ask god if he'll invest in Cornwall, while you're talking to him. My fellow Cornishpeople decided it would be a good idea to cut ties with the organisation investing £60m per year into Cornwall, so we need some new investors.

Ask god if he'll invest in Cornwall, while you're talking to him. My fellow Cornishpeople decided it would be a good idea to cut ties with the organisation investing £60m per year into Cornwall, so we need some new investors.
The Cornish council has issued a plea for “protection” following the United Kingdom’s vote to leave the European Union.
Cornwall, which has a poor economy and as such has received millions of pounds in subsidies from the EU each year for over a decade, voted decisively to Leave.
But this money is now threatened following the severing of ties with the EU.
John Pollard, the leader of Cornwall council said: “Now that we know the UK will be leaving the EU we will be taking urgent steps to ensure that the UK Government protects Cornwall’s position in any negotiations.
“We will be insisting that Cornwall receives investment equal to that provided by the EU programme which has averaged £60m per year over the last ten years.”

Where did the EU get the £60m to subsidize Cornwall? Perhaps HM Treasury could write a cheque to make up for it?

Not great enough to spend £350m on, apparently. Thanks, Vote Leave! That lie really helped to shoot our country in the foot!
@695,535 (Metæ)
I really want to say something funny or light-hearted in response to this, Meta. But all I can do is realise that the economic downturn is going to be especially strong where I live.

@previous (RWBY Rhubarb? !!iNo3FkiZx)I've tried my hardest to do credible research, and here's what I've found: the UK pays the EU around £8 billion more than the EU pays the UK. Without an EU membership fee, this money could be redistributed and Kernow could get its £60 million, just from HM Treasury instead of Brussels.
Some kind of free trade deal can be worked out with the EU, and everything will turn out alright :)
