You do realise that the U.K has its own rules and regulations that need to be adhered to ? I hope that you dont think that there are no rules in the U.K , just because we are not ruled by the E.U anymore

And those numerous huge field hospitals that were built that were never used

Anarchy in the U.K.

Yes, the Brit should live with five other people in a one bedroom property and have a loaf of bread and a fish a day for dinner and work six days a week and clean the bosses car at lunch time and tell the boss when other people are late , really should be competing with the

They have some really nice Thai restaurants in Rome . Have you thought about going to Italy to have some Thai food ?

One day is quite enough

Carl from Carshalton working as a Hod carrier in Cricklewood is concerned about his wage packet at the end of the week , market economies wouldn't come into his decision as to whether to vote Leave or Remain

Well in the 100 page report the Gov listed all of the changes since Brexit and it stated that the new Blue British passports are the most technically advanced and with zero carbon footprint and you ignored all info above and just concentrated on one word "Blue" Yes, the passport colour has changed , should that not be mentioned in listing ALL the changes , just mention the new high security passports with zero carbon footprint without mentioning the change of colour ? A 100 page A4 sized report....................and you concentrate on ONE word BLUE Reintroduced our iconic blue passports. All new British passports are now blue, a return to their original appearance, with the colour first introduced in 1921, and updated to be the most technologically -advanced and secure British passports ever, with the carbon footprint from their manufacture reduced to net zero.

No, the expenses are spread out , and that is added to the cost of the pizza ingredients . Bread and tomatoes to make pizza aren't expensive , but you have to add on wages, rent utilities and tax to get the true cost of making that pizza

Not in this instance , No

I was commenting and replying to the post I quoted , rather than commenting on any previous posts . You made the implication that the U.K published a report solely to highlight the UKs passports have changed colour , as as it was some kind of tremendous achievement of Brexit that the UK Gov had to make an announcement . The reality was that the UK Gov published a 100 page report detailing the changes and the passport issue was a minor change . You was being deceptive in making the suggestion that the UK published a report stating the passport colour change because you failed to mention the other 100 pages of the report

We are talking about the effects of Brexit and the UK leaving the E.U and to make a fair assessment you would have to compare he UKs economy to other Countries who are still in the E.U and see how they are faring

Nice to hear that if the U.K had remained in the E.U , we wouldn't have been effected by Covid or the Ukrainian war or the general worldwide recession ????

The suggestion is that leaving the E.U has been harmful to the UK economy and to prove this they are comparing the UK to Canada, Japan and the USA , who have nothing to do with the E.U To get a true picture of the effect of the UK leaving the E.U , you would have to compare the UK to all the other E.U Countries , not just the three strongest Countries (France , Germany and Italy) Like it doesn't make sense : "The UK is suffering from leaving the E.U because the USA has a stringer economy" There is no connection between the UK leaving the E.U and the USAs economy . Two separate issues

This subject thread topic is comparing the U.K to just three other E.U Countries , (Germany , France and Italy) and you are laying the blame on Brexit because their economies are stronger then the U.Ks But Germanys economy was better than the UKs even before Brexit and Frances tourist industry has boosted their economy . If you compare the U.K to all other E.U Countries , (instead of just a select few) , the UK is doing quite well

Forget about about minimum wage : Carl from Carshalton the Hod carrier earns 20 Pound an hour on a building site in Cricklewood Piotr comes over from Poland and carries the hod for 15 Pound an hour in Paddington = Cheap labour

As he was going an about "anti vaxxer nonsense" and "bloodclots " , as an unvaccinated person myself, I didnt want to veer off topic as this thread isn't about Covid

Cherry picking to the extreme there. So there's a 100 page document . 100 pages listing changes in the U.K since leaving the E.U . Hundreds, maybe Thousands of different issues pointed out. Covering numerous different issues , covering all aspects of life in the U.K and you pick out one little issue like the colour of the passport !!!!!!!!!! The passport mention was one small mention in a huge list of other mentions about various subjects

Could you post a link to that ?

My point was that Brexit wasn't about the U.K using Imperial measurements , people in the U.K who voted Leave didn't vote that way to get Imperial measurements back . The E.U rules were removed and thats why people can use Imperial if they want , but it seems like no one wants to go back to Imperial measurements . Its a minor irrelevant point that no one is bothered or concerned about

Try to forget about Trump for a while( or there are other threads where you can join in the daily rants about him)

Cheap labour doesn't need to be below the minimum wage . Minimum wage IS cheap labour .

Well , apart from the fact that TPP wasn't initiated by Obama and talks began whilst George Bush was POTUS

Fair enough, as you misread the title of this thread and thought it was about comparing the U.K to other E.U countries, I can accept that you got your newspapers mixed . The guy in questions company made 840 Million GBP profit last year and some of that would be due to employing cheap E.U workers . Maybe now he would need to pay people a decent wage to the workers and unfortunately for him, his 840 Million quid a year profit may be reduced a bit
