'That's what they voted for!': Terry Christian sparks fury saying bosses forced to lay people off after Brexit should start with Leave voters The Mancunian DJ claims there are three businesses who adopted that policy He said: 'Brexiteers voted for short term pain, it's time they sucked it up and stopped whining' Wetherspoon founder Tim Martin was involved in a row with him on GMB today He said: 'Terry, you're talking absolute nonsense. You are to economics what Tiger Woods is to monogamy'By Martin Robinson, Chief Reporter For Mailonline Published: 09:11 GMT, 15 February 2019 | Updated: 09:14 GMT, 15 February 2019 Viewcomments Terry Christian says Brexiteers should be laid off if businesses struggle when the UK leaves the EU Terry Christian faces a Brexiteer backlash today after saying people who want to leave the EU 'should be laid off first' if the economy stalls because 'that's what they voted for'. The Mancunian broadcaster, 58, who voted remain, claims that he knows of three businesses who have adopted that policy. Mr Christian, who found fame presenting Channel 4's The Word, claims that Brexiteers have argued that Britain will thrive after cutting ties with ties but could suffer some 'short term pain'. He claims that businesses who have to make staff redundant should start with Leave voters. He said today: 'Brexiteers voted for short term pain, it's time they sucked it up and stopped whining. 'Brexiteers were conned – maybe it won't hit home until they get that P45. Thankfully I know at least 3 employers already ensuring Brexit voters are laid off first, all employers should follow suit where possible'. He added: 'That's what they voted for'. The DJ was involved in an on-screen row with JD Wetherspoon founder Tim Martin on Good Morning Britain this morning. He hit back: 'Nonsense. Terry, you're talking absolute nonsense. You are to economics what Tiger Woods is to monogamy, you have no understanding at all'. Terry Christian insists that businesses who have to make staff redundant should start with Leave voters JD Wetherspoon founder Tim Martin, pictured on Good Morning Britain this morning, hit back: 'Nonsense. Terry, you're talking absolute nonsense. The broadcaster's Twitter poll on the issue has been voted on by more than 16,500 people and the majority back his idea Host Kate Garraway was forced to intervene and told Mr Christian, who kept talking, to 'give Tim a chance'. When Terry spoke again he also said: 'Brexit is a car crash. It will destroy us. Ask any expert. That's why they [Brexiteers] wheel out Tim Martin every time because he is one of the only ones who back it. Him and James Dyson, who's just gone off the Malaysia and isn't even based here any more are the only people who are pro-Brexit'. The camera cut back to Mr Martin, who was in one of his pubs, and he couldn't stop laughing. He said: 'Terry is making the assumption that we'll be worse off which we heard before the referendum that we'd lose jobs by now, we've actually created half a million which is a direct contradiction of what people frightened us into to vote Remain.' Mr Christian has also run a poll on the issue on his Twitter account where 46 per cent or respondents, the highest proportion of voters, agree with that businesses should 'sack leave voters 1st'. When taken to task on the issue he said: 'I actually said it would never get past an HR department' but says his point is a 'moral one'. His comments have caused a backlash - and said that it would be impossible to sack only Brexiteers Share or comment on this article: All rights reserved for this news site dailymail and under his responsibility
