BST I'd say don't waste your time but you do. Well done, you've more patience than me!
I live in Cornwall another of those red regions and 2nd poorest in Europe.
Return trips to Donny seem like visits to London used to when I lived up there.
Yet. And yet it's the same down here re brexit.?!? I can't begin to fathom it as it really will be "lights out" here in a no deal scenario .
There is a feeling out there that myself and half the country just doesn't get? (I think their all on spice!!) this will really take 30yrs to resolve.
Reminds me very much of the divisions during the strike! (and that still rumbles on in areas /within families)
Just wish the w**kers had thrown Cameron a bone as a concession and ensured a remain vote! This is an EU and tory made disaster

Your comment in post 38 was factually wrong. We've established that. Doncaster currently doesn't get very high EU funding. And it's not becoming more attractive. It has gone backwards economically at a rate of knots over the last decade, as we dropped out of Objective One status and the Tories' Austerity hammered us. (1)

But alright. I accept your cloying need to be proven right. Let's say we WERE becoming more attractive to investors due to EU funding. Use that logic to think how much more attractive we would have become with hugely increased EU funding over the next 7 years.

(1) And everything you've said all through this tedious exchange, including your "suspicion" that we would lose EU funding has been set in the present tense. Except when it was pointed out that we would have been getting much higher EU funding through to the late 2020s. Then you insisted that you reserved the right to have your "suspicion" proved right at an indeterminate future date of your choice.

Hang on a minute. Where did I say Doncaster currently gets very high EU funding? In fact, where did I say Doncaster currently gets ANY EU funding?

Also, where did I say we'd be better off outside the EU?

Apology?

[SydneyRover]

you haven't actually said anything worth repeating bbb

[BillyStubbsTears]

Why does every exchange end up down the rabbit hole of your wounded pride BB?

You said we are doing well because of EU funding. We're not doing well and we don't get much EU funding.

You said you had a suspicion that we would have lost EU funding because (present tense) "thanks to EU funding Doncaster is now becoming an attractive proposition for investors". It's not becoming an attractive proposition because it's not getting enough EU funding to make a major difference. And it wasn't  about to lose what EU funding it gets. The funding was about to go up very significantly. Because the local economy has tanked over the past decade and our own Govt has done the square root of f**k all to help us out.

Those are the key substantive points. I get that  your ego has been bruised because you've called this one spectacularly wrong. And I get that you're doing that thing of ignoring the substantive points and latching onto a secondary or tertiary point and insist that you've been unfairly treated because of that. It's a powerful debating tactic, but it bores me shitless to be honest.

Anyone who goes along with BST's feeble attempts at confrontation on this thread deserves him.

[GazLaz]

Ah right, so Doncaster is NOT becoming an attractive proposition for investors.

Righto!

Investors are buying property blind in northern towns. That part of the article could have been written about anywhere where houses are sold for a pittance.

[Bentley Bullet]

BST, If anything has come out of this thread it is that you have shown yourself in your true colours.

Forget the apology, I don't want one. Now, go and have a group hug with your little clique. You're not worth the time.

[BillyStubbsTears]

Not looking for confrontation BB. Just trying to discuss things from a basis of established facts.

And I know. Triumph of hope over experience and all that. But it matters.

Correct. But apparently Doncaster isn't becoming an attractive proposition.

[BillyStubbsTears]

I do apologise for comments in the last couple of posts though. Should not have made them.

One last effort.

You DO realise that those two articles you posted are adverts don't you? Local businesses selling Doncaster to investors.

Which is fine. I'd expect them to do that. But I wouldn't take them as telling the full story.

On the other side, I've presented you with a fact. An objective fact. That the economy of SY has gone downhill badly relative to the rest of the EU over the past decade. And as a result of that,we would have been getting massive support from the EU to rectify that.

You've never once engaged with that fact.


THAT is why I get narky. Because you just look the other way every time an awkward fact is set out.

I shouldn't. And I apologise for doing so. But it comes from the frustration of seeing us make this horrifically bad mistake, and the people who support that being totally unwilling to address what it means. Time after time. Fact after fact.

I really don’t know why you continue this BST.

You deserve a medal for endurance but how and why do you continue this pointless dialogue with Bentley Bullet?

Do you have kids? If so, you will have encountered the concept of disagreeing in order to amuse oneself?
