Well, that didn't end well did it?
Got what you voted for Cornwall? Hmmm?
It is Feb 2020 now. Isn't it interesting to see that all the warnings were just denied?
Well that went well didnt it? Merry christmas turkeys 😂🐔🐔🐔
lets admit it, the referendum was largely about mass immigration....and fish quotas.
They must be very happy now (March 2021) in Cornwall!
now even more, June 2022

I waited 5 years to say this but the people without anything had more sense than the people in business and time is a witness to that.
Even though the money comes from the UK and not the EU, its the EU that makes sure the money goes to Cornwall. The UK want to ignore us as usual and cut funding.
how do you see it now Jay?
An ex service man from the navy in a tent is why this country is going down the toilet and I fear that this can never be reversed
It's disgusting .
I would like to know more of his story before I can agree or disagree
If you are ex service and in a tent you will be offered a place by the council.
Before Thatcher you could have gotten a months rent and the deposit from the social security.
Stupidity has won
I dont want to come across harsh but I feel like a lot of the people dont understand what theyre saying and their arguments and logic behind them are feebled at best
So the UK gives money to the EU who then gives some of it back to Cornwall. Why not cut out the middle man?
+SlightlyVisible EU also pay for bigger parts of Wales and Scotland..
Because the UK has short changed Cornwall in the past. Why should the Cornish expect them to change their tune all of a sudden?
How did this work? Where is the money now?
Would be interesting to do some analysis on the impact of brexit, based on the current position, and then meet these individuals again.
2 years later these idiots are crying and demanding the rest of us bail them out.
@@kanedNunable September 2021, it´s now common knowledge Brexit is a complete and utter shambles.
My thoughts exactly.
Strange how the beeb and msm don't interview 6 yrs on Fishermen Farmers etc and see how their views have r not changed. Whether they still vote for the ToeRags !
6:50 So amusing that he works/talks at the same time, managing to fold that box without even thinking about it!
I'm kind of taking a strange amount of satisfaction knowing that all these people wanting to leave and unsure about leaving (code for wanting to leave) are now seeing how wrong they were and knowing (I hope) that they have screwed themselves and there children future. Good job everyone 👍
You sound like a petty vindictive shit
Sad sad little man, doing grand btw 👍
@@mrward6510 glad to hear 👍
@@stinkypete368 I'm not vindictive or vengeful at all Peter. I know the real people responsible aren't going to lose out by numerous small communities being disseminated. Saying that, I'm not alone when I say I'm not going to feel sorry for anyone that voted leave and still say they are happy about it as deserving of my sympathy. The damage done to Northern Ireland alone......🤦.
@@McNallyF Nah mate, when you talk about getting pleasure from people potentially suffering because they voted differently than you, that makes you a petty vindictive shit.
Good thing we did vote leave, or half our adult population wouldn't currently be vaccinated under the EU's disastrous vaccination programme.
For every £1 we give to the EU, we get almost £10 back.
The disingenuity of BBC is mind boggling. Every penny "from the EU" has been taken from British taxpayers.
You act as if there is no benefit to the EU , like we just pay them for fun and they give it back to us for fun.
Do you think the Conservatives will ever invest a penny if there wasn't any EU funding
And where is this money now?
What? Every penny? What about the other countries paying into that fund?
Enjoy Brexit and its sunlit uplands.
I've just come across this and the shear lack of knowledge of how the EU works is astounding. It's not a case of paying our membership fee and getting less back (how the hell would that be sensible) we pay our dues and get a brilliant trading arrangement that boosts our economy. As for the moans about fishing quotas we had our fair share and then fishermen sold them off to the Spanish for a nice wedge; you can't complain about quotas you had and then sold. The only people who will benefit from Brexit will be the very rich which is why most were so keen to brain wash the poorer.
The narrator forgot to mention that the EU is distributing U.K. Money.
Duhhhh. The Tories aren't going to be paying it to anyone who deserves it tho.
how's the first month of half arsed brexit going , so far? keep in mind this is still not the full extent of what it will be.
So we've been in the EU for 40+ years handed over billions of pounds got half back and the BBC can find something positive to say about being in the EU...Amazing! Just imagine what could've been said had we spent all that money here.
BBC production. Need I say more?
+bob bob My thoughts exactly
+bob bob Cornish people are inbred. Need I say more?
What it was relatively unbiased with a good amount of information, standard BBC production
Are you serious.
Those inbreds u claim saved thousands of british and french lives in ww 2 and some died for your freedoms, show some respect.
If their main argument for staying in is that the EU gives them money which is infact the money we give to the EU redirected and spent by them as they please then I have to say that is a very weak argument indeed.
even taking the UK contribution into account. .the net benifit is massive
+hasty wasty Not really. Being in the EU means its very expensive for companies to invest abroad.
+hasty wasty Would you care to elaborate on that?
+MrExsasperated no tarrifs and barriers such as customs help costs..but it's not just ..product and service regulations harmonisation reduces costs massively. The access to global markets through existing EU trade deals negotiated over years opens up vast markets abroad. Another major point is Access to EU supply chains this helps business transport and source products services easier. Also investment flows from European wide business has recorded big capital investment...The CBI estimates EU membership could be contributing 4-5% of gdp.
+hasty wasty That's fine, originally this was the idea of having a common market in 1973, however the original idea has become a political union and entails far more than just trade advantages. Sovereignty, policing, defence, banking, independent free trade, law, fishing quotas, farming...etc not to mention the inability to remove corrupt unelected officials.....and the trade deals will continue without membership, in fact we will be able to negotiate on our own terms with the rest of the world without having to pay fast sums of money to the EU for the privilege. It is scaremongering to suggest that our trade will suffer if we leave, just look at the EFTA countries! The EU is a monster and is heading for a collapse, we should leave before we are swallowed up in the cesspit that it is. Contrary to popular belief there is nothing we can't achieve outside of the EU than in it.
I cant believe the older generation who watch their fathers and mothers pay the ultimate price for freedoms now so freely give it away.

@@valeriechaumeziere377 you were saying? Fishing industry is decimated. Who’s the traitor now?
Man the eu was. Never a good idea
Cornwall doesn't want universities and quicker broadband,it wants fishing.All of these peripheral fripperies will come when we get out.
Fishing is Far more use than fast Broadband & education. They have no business or trade to do online , without fishing !
What do you think about the situation 3 years on Anton? not being a dick I'm genuinely curios
Tell me how things worked out...
And now the fishing has gone.
Duckhead
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 you have HAPPY fish now!
Sept 2021 now. This is what happens when people vote on their emotions not on facts and reason. Nostalgia for how things were 50 years ago will not turn the clock back to a nostalgic world that didn't exist. It will turn it back to being "The Sick Man of Europe".
All they need to do its get the British to eat fish to the same degree as The French and the Spanish................. good luck with that Cornwall.
Its not only fishing that used to be a bigger industry - some no longer exist and thats not to do with the EU.
LOVE EUROPE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!,LEAVE EU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
+ANTON RUDENHAM from all my research I have done I think the vote should be well in the yes like 70 % and getting stronger. I really just don't trust the voting system ..

It’s like taking all you savings to the casino and betting it all on number 13! Now you’re scratching your head hoping the government is going to step up and bail you out!😩 Seriously…..no one else to blame but yourselves.

+Tommy England foreign?
+EV docmaker - The destruction of British industry was, and still is, an EEC/EU policy. That this suited Thatcher's vendetta is just a 'happy' coincidence, and accounts for her rabid support for the project until they started going after her 'pet' financial sector.
The plan has always been to divide the continent into regions (formerly known as countries), with each arbitrarily awarded a sector. Germany (obviously) got the main prize, manufacturing industry, France got the runner-up prize of agriculture, Spain got fishing... and we got 'services'. Basically the City of London - which in reality is an 'offshore island' within Britain's boundaries, rather than a part of it.
The two things necessary to make this work (in Germany's favour) are the hampering, and eventual destruction, of competing industries in 'unapproved' countries - sorry, regions - and handcuffing us into internal trade by making us uncompetitive on the world markets, chiefly through suicidal regulations and punitive 'green' energy initiatives, and by preventing member states from taking their own seats at the WTO.
Interestingly, Germany has never been 'encouraged' to move away from coal fired power stations as the rest of us have - gotta love that special 'green' coal they have over there, eh?
......and, What are the benefits of the Brexitbollox.?
They got sold a kipper.
amazing, we give our lunch money to some bullies, who spend most of it on the stuff they want then give some of the loose change back to us and then we are grateful for it.

Many fishermen, French or British were always greedy for money without much regard for the fish.
The fish industry is not about fish it is about Borders as exemplified by the fact that the timber industry is the same economic size as the fishing industry whilst there is no problem about production because it is regulated.
However in their greed, the fishers built new houses and bought new cars on the back of the raping of the cod stocks in the North Sea. There were no cod to be fished and only regulation rescued it after 20 odd years of laissez faire
Joining the EU supported regulation which although rightly, made a gross diminution of the fishing industry.
Now the British have their fishing back there will be the same level of greed as previously unless the Brits regulate that industry. exampleAs an example, the French were not allowed fish the Saint Jack Shells before the month of May according to EU regulations to conserve the species but the English started in March when the young shell fish were not mature enough endangering the species.
So, there are two issues, 1 Borders and 2 Conservation of stocks.

the firm that has had euro funding the money has come from the uk anyway vote leave
+EV docmaker if they cannot survive with out eu or uk funding then the firm is not viable.......the company i work for does not recieve a goverment or eu penny in fact all it does is pay tax to the uk goverment who in turn pay the eu so put up or shut up

is that your defense for a not viable company dont make the people reading this think your a simpleton on second thoughts
fuck em all fuck em all the eu and germans and all cause we are the british and we are the best we are united so get out is best fuck em all
+bigissue f you
Brexit Means Brexit.
Know that you have left the EU who are you selling your fish to?
What has the EU ever done for us. Now they know.
I never understand the "you've been given all this money" argument it doesn't go where it's needed....the money should support industry moving into the area (which I admit fiber broadband helps) ....eden isn't enough...i'd like that money to ofset the housing market so we can get away from the idea that 200k for a house in Camborne is "affordable" for local people.
Go back and ask them now
Really isn't turning out too good now
It pains me to see parts of Britain poorer than parts of Europe and possibly Asia and the Middle East. Cornwall can’t rely on tourism forever. It needs some industry to boost its revenue and further economic equality and redistribution.
Lol. Bet they feel differently now!
So we recieve all this eu funding however were still one of the poorest counties in the whole of the eu ....wheres the money gone haha
Tony, 40 years as a fishmonger, and he still can't skin a fish properly. Just saying.

The money they get is only the money they sent! - minus 50% of course.
Nice math, you should join Turkish Boris class of advance math
Surely if we didn't give so much money to the EU we could spend it on places like Cornwall, the accounts should be available to everyone to see online, how much we pay the EU how much we get back , how much goes on MEP's, how much goes on EU offices etc, etc, etc let's see the figures surely that isn't too much to ask !
Did Brexit work in Cornwall's favour?
there are fewer and fewer fish in the ocean every year. The fishing industry will never be as big as it once was
The UK contributes more to the EU than it receives because it has a better than average economy. Nothing wrong with that imo, but to use the argument that the EU helps cornwall as a reason for the UK to stay is disingenuous. If the UK puts in more than it takes out then it could have decided what projects to invest in for the cornish and when the money is invested. Without any small print either.
The irony is there are so many tories basically saying "we need the EU because they are more benevolent and socially liberal than the tories, who screw us".
Unfortunately Westminster chooses to invest less into Cornwall than Brussels did. Go figure.
Have a question for you... What percentage of NHS workers (just an example) have studied abroad?
september 2021. Cornwall to lose £97M as the Tories won’t replace EU funds. Massive win for sovereignty
can we vote to leave the BBC?
Don't need to vote, just leave.
Yeah, go ask some homeless people whether they'd like to stay in the EU because they're knowledgeable in Economics!
"I don't know who to believe anyway" but she'll vote in for the economy and her children yet staying in the EU thus far has seen so many businesses avoiding tax and her kids will have to endure these newly academies and possibly increased rates for further education.
They will only interview brexiter's if they are either confused or grey haired and if they can play fairground freakshow music over the top to hint what? that it's all a bit silly to want to leave?. The argument for remain seems to hang on being polite and grateful to the protection racket but they at least get to not have a soundtrack over them to belittle them. Wouldn't small fishing outfits thriving in Cornwall rather than a Spanish super trawler be worth working for rather than the com probably less exciting and less communal culture of milling Brazil nuts in a factory?.
When will people relize the monny they give us is ouer monny we have paid in .after thay have taken ther cut out
The EU redistributes that money to those who would otherwise never receive money from their own government. Apparently Cornwall now gets 5% from what it got before Brexit.
My god some people are thick!!
Captain. Mantastic! instead of calling me an idiot, show me and the world where I'm an idiot! educate us all on where the money from the EU is created? the EU is simply sharing out other Countries money, after taking a large slice for their own running costs! the UK can longer act as giver of wealth to the Europeans, however needy their cause! please elaborate on your insult!
The EU funding has ended and 95% of it has not been replaced. Well done! Now it's clear that you are an idiot.
Get out now. And dont let Theresa May break that promise
Brexit means Brexit
I hope you've learnt your lesson.

The sensible people who realised leaving would be a mistake, the others were fools. I feel so sorry for Remainers and I have nothing but scorn for leavers who didn't think, research or give damn!
Since we when into the EU/EEC we have lost over 200,000 fishing jobs
And now we will take them all Back !
And how's it going for you now?
And now you destroyed the remaining jobs with Brexit. Well done!
Yeah, go ask some homeless people whether they'd like to stay in the EU because they're knowledgeable in Economics!
Then who do you want to ask then? These are potential voters at that time. And they voted to Leave.
So 12 million has made its way into the the pocket of Private Industry?
The profits therfore go into the same hands. No accountability. No equal distribution. Same old. Same old.
I have been visiting Cornwall all my life. All i see are wealthy townies from the home counties buying up all the properties and making a killing. I was in Mousehole four weeks ago and it was dead. All the properties were private lets. Very sad.
Bbc put in more who said in.
They are trying to guilt us with homeless guy
6 Yrs on wonder what these Gammons now think of Baldrick Johnson Brexit !
Would make a good return visit. Wonder if plague island is their Dream Retirement Holiday rather that Costa del Sol ?
I wonder if Tony and his business is still up and running this has not aged well. Cornwell was actually growing with the infrastructure being built now nothings happening there
Carleys ended up getting rekt, bet they wished remain had won now.
*Hello, We are very sorry but current customs declarations for International sales are not possible for us to complete following Brexit. We are sadly going to have to close international sales via our website.*
eu give 888m a year to cornwall, we give eu 19 BILLION a year, you do the math.
erm. how about all the rest of the counties in the UK you thick twat?
I'm happy that they're out.. no money more for the uk. and after the brexit the EU have to change something. we will see..

Ha ha the poor in cornwell says we do not know where did the money go because it did not go to the poor. Well the money is taken from the benefits and pension old people because that benefits did not increase for 20 years. Then most of it stays in Brussles and some returns to few business in UK thus the poor people are loosing at both ends. EU is excellent for EASTREN EU people only not for British people and certainly not for poor or pension people.
The Reporter says "there is poverty", Matthew says "death end". I am working for a german company with customer in the UK. We have to pay for a full truck a freight of 1660 Euro to Norfolk, 2200 to Hull. To Bodmin (or Edinburgh) we have to pay 3300 Euro, even to Wales is cheaper. That's an economic reality you can't negate. With a british government in the EU ist hasn't changed the last decade. Why should it change with a british government outside the EU?
People without critical thinking allowed to vote! 😂
Surprised the homeless people want to stay in.....if we were out there would be LESS competition for jobs which would help them!! And 'm sick of hearing that as many British people work abroad as Europeans work over here, that is just NOT true. You NEVER see British people working in cafes etc abroad but literally in every cafe, restaurants and other jobs especially in London pretty much 85% are non-British! It's like its one rule for one and screw everyone else, it's not fair.
This is a very stupid comment.

Turkey's voting for Xmas
Brexit, no brexit.. who cares,I mean it is important but the day to day tragedy in people's lives outweighs all this brexit discussion. I am shocked that the ex army guy is homeless. He seems like a really decent and smart guy. Even more shocking that he can't vote.
Do you still not care about Brexit?
Is this the Biased Broadcasting Corporation reporting this
So the EU has been helping those that the UK government has abandoned.
How is EU money funding broadband ? This country started the industrial revolution ?
Ever since we were duped into the EU we have gotten worse on every metric. The gap between rich and poor, adults living with parents, back before the EU the man would work 40 hours and pay for a wife and two children yet now the woman and man will work and still can't afford a kid.

I think the fact that all this poverty existed while we were in the EU, suggests all this so called EU money invested (our money) wasn’t enough
Them people in the deprived area of Cornwall will have even less when TTIP comes into play. The Obama dribble he gave to the British people was not transparent at all.
He is looking out for the best interests of United States corporations which will have a major impact on local businesses and services in the UK if we stay in the EU.
Surely being independent is wiser and open up to better legit trade and not being governed, not only by Brussels but an International council, the US!
its not eu money it British money!
And where is it now?

I know some of the people in the video, and I used to work in the fishing industry in Newlyn. We must leave the EU for so many reasons but for a local reason and that is to get our waters back, which would give a much needed boost to the local economy. Remember people it is our money, therein no such thing as EU money!!
how is it going?
How is it going John? Still feel this way now?
come on john , don't be shy
Happy fish is all you now have!
Aged like milk. Brexit is a shambles. Now enjoy the "sea of opportunity". We told you thick brexiteers. .
The NET contribution from the UK to the EU, i.e. after the funding and all grants received by places like Cornwall, is around £12 billion annually. Much of this is squandered on palatial offices for the European Parliament in Brussels and Strasbourg, very generous salaries and benefits for the MEPs and propping up the less well of economies of the EU who have by and large (e.g. Greece, Italy, Portugal and Spain) stagnated due to the mismatched currency of the Euro, and other restraints imposed on their countries that are treated as "States" controlled from the middle. One size does not fit all and I find it odd that many people have never done any proper research on the subject and are, therefore, blindly happy to remain in the EU in the believe that's it's all wonderful and maintains peace in Europe. I love Europe, I live much of the year in France now BUT, as you can gather, loving Europe doesn't have to equate to wanting the UK to remain in and under EU control and protectionism.
Who is going to fund you know?
Before I did any research I was very much "stay in Europe" fearing that leaving would damage the economy. after doing much research on the for and against leaving EU its become clear to me that we need to leave the EU. They damage our economy with needless legislations designed to protect European industries from compertition. Legislations that have been decided on by unelected officials who we cant remove from power. This really is a case of democracy vs autocratic.
Where do you reserch the? The Sun paper or Mirror
Would love to know where you did your ‘research’. As someone else commented, just because you can read the daily mail in the library it doesn’t count as research. You obviously didn’t get it from somewhere credible as you’re wrong about them ‘damaging our economy’ and legislation ‘decided by unelected officials’.
Guys this comment is over 5 years old. Im not wasting my time trying to find old research material to reference (and no I didnt just read the paper). There are more important issues in life to worry about. Get over it.
This was clearly a vote remain puff piece. They kept talking about the money pumped into Cornwall. Constant references to the EU funding a handful of business that are 'relevant' and modern. All the while the dude with the fish in a van on his own who wants to leave is exactly that. No mention that the money Cornwall and its tax payers send to the EU is what they are getting back minus a small handling fee of course. Its pathetic. Sheeple media at its worse.
AlwayS bla bla bla , it's funny the quote spanish and french do what they Want with the fish........ That's not an argument..
For every pound we receive... we've paid £2.50 in EU tax. !
***** PROPAGANDA OR BIG LIES WORK BEST.... WHEN REPEATED..Keep your eyes and ears open but believe nothing you see.... or hear.!
soooo I shouldn't believe what you said as well? Sure
*after brexit comment* for every pound we've paid last year , we lost 15 in just one day. and we're still counting
and as predicted the pound s now recovering!!!!
no for every pound we pay in! we get 3 pence back.. this is the reality of it.. these people have no idea what is going on.. they think the eu is paying them!!!!!! are fucking stupid.
