  • maybe there is a housing shortage due to the impossibility of planning for an economy that allows hundreds of thousands of immigrants in every year?  Dunno, that;s probably racist.

    Ridiculous article. From the Guardian, so any semblance of reality is fleeting at best. So none of these problems existed before the Brexit vote? I doubt it. Anti Brexit people are like anti Trumpers

Yes, of course tebee, how remiss of me. No-one has ever experienced redundancy before in the UK and it will be Brexit's fault.

Be interesting too to see how many international companies start investor state disputes with the UK for changing the rules  and causing them losses.

Get that crystal ball out and hunt for doom & gloom tebee.

Yep, no problem.

 

Just blame it on the intransigence of the EU.

I was addressing the comment to those that want a hard brexit. It is the their instance on having nothing to do with the EU that causes the problem. A soft brexit could avoid it

Well okay then, in that case, let's examine the stunningly informative tweet from the literary genius, James O’Brien, that you think puts it very succinctly

 

He tweeted

***Yup. If you stop paying £20 for your pitch at the car boot sale where you make a profit of £200 every week, then you are obviously £20 a week better off ***

 

So, to show how weak your position actually is, if you can't write something more edifying than this yourself, and have to resort to posting this drivel from somebody else, you really do have much more to worry about than Brexit

You really are struggling here - my suggestion is that you accept that you have nothing constructive to add, and simply drop it. On the other hand, of course, feel free to continue to dig.

 

Should you wish to do so, perhaps you can explain what is unedifying and uninformative about him making a pertinent, accessible analogy to demonstrate how ludicrous a position that Rees Mogg is taking?

 

And drivel? Why do you consider it drivel? The definition of drivel is 'silly nonsense'. What aspect of his tweet is silly nonsense?

But the question to be asked is, 'Is picking fruit more fun than building aircraft?'.

I suggest you google ‘outrage’ because you don’t appear to understand the meaning of the word.

 

I am not in the least bit outraged, you are the one displaying all the outrage. However, I agree that ‘faux’ is certainly the correct adjective to precede your outrage with.

I can assure you that there is nothing faux about my outrage when it comes to racists, fascists and xenophobes. 

 

If you weren't outraged, you did wade in somewhat quickly to defend a clearly fascist politician and try to airbrush out his overtly racist proposals by trying to suggest he was persecuting only those who are in Italy illegally, rather than the truth of the matter, which is his stated intent to single out Roma in general.

NOBODY wants the uk to leave the eu without a trade agreement that suits both parties in place - preferably a free trade agreement.  But the eu is insisting that a trade agreement is the last thing that needs to be discussed!

 

If they're not prepared to discuss a trade agreement until the uk accepts all their terms - then, sadly, it's necessary to leave under wto terms.  With of course, no payment to the eu.

The Europhiles are so deaf, dumb and blind that they cannot see this.

 

The EU are insisting on the UK being tied to Brussels and the ECJ. It is just not going to happen.

We have already agreed to the severance payment  and that NI will remain part of the CU and SM - we are still sorting out citizens rights though - the UK gov published a proposal today but it's still lacking in detail.

 

There has been discussion on a trade deal  - the EU has offered a offered a Canada or Ukraine type deal, with no ECJ strings attached - but this won't solve the problem for people like Airbus.

 

The problem is the 2 year art 50 notice is nowhere near long enough to arrange a comprehensive  a la carte  trade deal, my moneys still on an art 50 extesion.

As far as I've read - 'nothing is agreed until everything is agreed'.

I suspect that there is not many in the UK that are qualified for aircraft manufacture period, regardless of whether they are leavers or remainers.

 

I must congratulate you on posting yet another piece of garbage.

Ensuring a level playing field across the EU is sensible as is making sure that multinationals pay their fair share. A race to the bottom on corporation tax does not help with building stable societies with social justice. Ireland drew in particularly American multinationals in this way. The UK post Brexit will certainly do so.

Well we certainly managed to lose much of our aerospace industry with little difficulty. Great result.

 

Many Brexiters moaning about competition for jobs are really concerned about spud bashing jobs rather than engineering or technology jobs or those that require significant education.

 

You are correct that we have insufficient people who are qualified for high tech jobs. No doubt you blame the EU for that rather than our burgeoning  underclass of anti elitists.

No complaints about foreigners stealing our robotics jobs or tooling jobs or bioengineering jobs. Only spud badgers being undercut

All the British who used to go fruit picking, now claim welfare while Poles and Romanians do the work.

There's probably more Brits suitable and available for 'spud bashing' than there are for 'aircraft manufacture'

 

Most natives of any country seek menial low paid work.

Once you take that away from them, their only choices are welfare, drugs and petty crime.

Surely you're not 'trollling' - hoping for personal insults in response - that you can report to the mods. in the hope of getting the thread closed again.... ☹️ ?
