It's even got it own Tescos now, should improve matters no end. The roads were done 5+ years ago, after the bridge was put in. All HA money IIRC. The EU roads are the single track with passing places that the locals use to avoid the main roads.

Apparently not.

Scenic Isle of Skye road upgrade completed - BBC News

Right, so one (crofters) road at the cost of £2.5M vs the rest of the island which was finished years ahead and without the 'financial problems'. Oddly they didn't report that?

We drove through Skye last year ourselves (in German plates no less - Servus! Said the other German at the petrol station - not German!) - single track roads were indeed overcrowded, but mostly from abroad, not other Brits.

A number of roads were developed in places. 'EU initiative award something or other' for this new section of nice wide A class road. A little later the B&B hosts we stayed at were Brexit voters, fishing rights were what pushed them to leavers. But they acknowledged the only development of the roads locally were funded from the EU. There was no fish on the menu. It really did enforce how ill informed people were leading up to the referendum.

So by using 1 small business as anecdotal evidence (even though many fishing people have genuine concerns), you extrapolated your subjective judgement (that they were ill-informed) to an entire ~52% of people that voted leave?

Assguru you're such a twerp.

It is one example not a definitive explanation of reasoning behind the result.

Firstly, no i'm not a sock-puppet.

Secondly, fishermen/women have genuine concerns - you appear to have swept them under the rug. It does also appear from your post, that you're labelling your B&B hosts as ill-informed purely due to fishing rights. A tad assumptive/arrogant/uncaring.

Finally, there are no nationwide surveys that have interviewed more than ~2k-50k people (AFAIK, please link me otherwise) - so there is no truly credible explanation possible for anyone to make, other than an extrapolation, based upon a small selection survey - in which, the questions asked can also be biased.

Yes you are.

I'm a messenger nothing more.

[Bean]

Yes you are.

You are wrong

Oh?

To whom did the subjective opinion of the B&B hosts belong?

To whom belongs the 'definitive explanation of reasoning behind the result' ?

To whom was this true of - "It really did enforce..." ?

Go on....this should be fun.
