An analysis by the Guardian and the environmental group Friends of the Earth identified 48 parliamentarians who claimed £5.7m in farming subsidies under the EU’s common agricultural policy (CAP) in 2017, the latest year for which figures are available.
The largest single payment – £473,000 – was paid to a Sussex farming firm run by the 18th Duke of Norfolk, a large landowner whose estate dates from the middle ages.
So is it that they are concerned genuinely for the interests of the United Kingdom and it’s people, or just ensuring their huge handouts from the EU are protected. Dont forget all those MP’s and peers that receive salaries, expenses, and guaranteed pensions, all paid for from the EU purse.
So I ask again is their interest in overturning Brexit genuinely because they believe we are better off in the EU or because financially, they personally are better off in the EU? |

For some ultra wealthy they will be slightly better off in the EU, and some will be better off out of the EU.
The rest of us will be poorer. We know all of this, and have known all of this for three years at the very minimum. |

I can only agree. This was never about the average person in the street, this was the likes of Grease Smog and his rich buddies avoiding tax at any cost.
It was portrayed as anti establishment simply as a way of conning the population. |

Exactly this. Some of them such as JRM are also using it to play the currency markets. Once you know the pound will drop, you can make a fortune.
Some will lose some pension and some other I'll gotten gains. But that doesn't benefit any of the ordinary people. |

Report back once you’ve done the analysis to see if they voted for Brexit or not...  |
