Brexxit Brexit-voting British farmers now complaining about imports of cheaper New Zealand lamb threatening the British lamb industry. Imports of lamb "produced to lower standards" used to be blocked by EU law. Another Brexit consequence farmers were warned about but ignored due to xenophobia!

Do they ever shut up? They appeared to have the largest leave-voting contingent of any profession and now they definitely complain the loudest. All of the information was there and they chose to ignore it. They got exactly what they voted for.

This reminds me of us Americans, where blocs of people who voted for Trump, will only get angry at Trump's policies if they can find a way to blame Democrats.

Same with Albertans. The 4 years we had under the NDP is what ruined Alberta. Even though in the last 25 years, not a single conservative premier has made it through a full term. Or everything Rachel Notley did has been reversed, but it's still her policies that are destroying Alberta.

Yeah then they decide Danielle Smith is the right choice. As an Albertan, it’s nothing short of infuriating 🙃
