Popular Post Loiner Posted February 16, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted February 16, 2019 t's about freedom of movement - I personally still have an Eu country's passport .....but several million people will not have that freedom...do you think that is OK?Do you still think it’s all about going on holidays? That type of free movement will still be available to all. Brit kids partying in Ibiza and families to the Costas; EU families clogging the Highlands roads with their motor homes is not a problem. Free movement of kids to study and work in the EU is a fallacy. The numbers who are able do that are minuscule. Even pre-Brexit a few who have specials skills or qualifications may be lucky enough but they are rarities. Post-Brexit those lucky ones will probably continue with company sponsorship. An end to free movement is more than just OK. What has not been OK to date is the imbalance in free movement. Four million EU economic migrants plonking themselves in UK is many more than we can sustain, especially after considering our creaking infrastructure and the all important benefits costs. Our 1 million citizens in the EU are about 80% based in Spain and bring their savings & pensions to invest in otherwise deprived EU communities.

I would still like to see, out of curiosity of course, the breakdown of those obligations. Obviously far greater minds than mine must have seen them, analysed them and agreed with the figures.

Basil B Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 More job losses due to Brexit... FlyBMI goes under Quote A Flybmi spokesman said: "It is with a heavy heart that we have made this unavoidable announcement. "The airline has faced several difficulties, including recent spikes in fuel and carbon costs, the latter arising from the EU's recent decision to exclude UK airlines from full participation in the Emissions Trading Scheme. "Current trading and future prospects have also been seriously affected by the uncertainty created by the Brexit process, which has led to our inability to secure valuable flying contracts in Europe." https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-47267901 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlyBMI goes under How do you come to that conclusion? Because the chairman said so? And why aren't all the other cheap airlines going under ? Maybe it was due to not being competitive, bad management, no contingency plans or a myriad of other factors including the routes they offer. It's very easy for them to blame Brexit to defelct the blame. Edited February 16, 2019 by Chelseafan 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post aright Posted February 16, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted February 16, 2019 Flybmi's problems started a long time ago. They have a load factor of 50% compared with Ryanair and Easyjet at 90% plus. It shouldn't surprise anyone with half a business brain if you are flying half full planes , it's a problem. Couple that with poor management and airline overcapacity in the EU and you have a major problem. EasyJet's annual net profit improved by almost 20% as a result of strong sales and record passenger numbers. Was that due to Brexit? European airlines Germania and Air Berlin went bankrupt not that long ago and Alitalia is about to follow suit. Was that due to Brexit? A bad business is a bad business regardless of Brexit. . 1 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post JAG Posted February 17, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted February 17, 2019 On 12/23/2018 at 9:53 AM, My Thai Life said: As reported by me a couple of weeks ago: John Longworth, the former director general of the British Chamber of Commerce, has organized a letter to Conservative MPs to vote down Theresa May’s Brexit deal, describing it as “the worst of all worlds”. The letter, signed by the heads of medium-sized businesses who have a combined turnover of over £2 billion a year and employ at least 45,000 people nationwide, says that the deal “offers the EU carte blanche to impose uncompetitive and deliberately punitive policies on the UK, selling British business down the river”. Their preferred alternative is to leave the European Union without a deal. “At present, 92% of British companies do not trade with the EU at all. And this 92% account for 87% of the UK economy.” Playing catch-up on this thread... Sadly, all these medium sized businesses, despite their combined turnovers and the substantial numbers which they employ cannot really offer much in the way of directorships, consultancies, and assorted other retainers and corporate benefits to retired and serving MPs, their spouses, family and close friends. Therefore their "clout " is limited. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wilcopops Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 (edited) It seems that Brexit was the straw that broke the camel's back or whatever. What is more interesting is the vehement denials by Brexiteers who seem to think if they disprove this one company, they will have "won" an argument. The truth is they will have to repeat this scenario over and over again........contrary to the popular media, this company is not the first to go under nor will it be the last....this is a chain of events that started 2 years ago and is only going to get worse........Brexiteers will have both their time and work cut out the deny this with every company that fails due to Brexit. tis isn't a case of rats leaving a sinking ship, it is a race to the lifeboats for the passengers and crew..... and many won't make it.

But he wouldn't do that, as it would then show that Brexit is NOT the sole reason for the closure of Flybmi. and this way he solely blames Brexit. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMHO The straw that broke the camels back had nothing to do with Brexit. Inefficient passenger load seems to be the problem. The average load per plane was 18 passengers. No company can run like that. Their problems started way before Brexit. https://onemileatatime.com/flybmi-ceases-operations/ Businesses collapse all the time. Was Woolworth due to Brexit ? How about Toys R Us or Maplins? These were badly run companies that couldn't adapt quick enough to consumer demand. Incidentally what company has gone under due to Brexit ?

Do you not think, that should parliamentarians overrule the Democratic decision of the British people to leave, and keep us in this so called Union. That companies will no longer go out of business. And can I assume that should we remain, that miraculously the E.u will stop enticing companies, with grants ( our money) to reallocate to other parts of the E.u. Thus depriving the British workforce of much needed jobs. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the referendum result, the pound dropped 20% so fuel cost 20% more. As we will may not be part of the EU in a few weeks the EU exclude UK airlines from full participation in the Emissions Trading Scheme. Yes, there's no doubt that Brexit hit the pound but in 2012 you were paying £1.41 per Litre, today you are paying £1.31. There's more to fuel prices than currency. Restrictions in the amount being pumped by OPEC is a much bigger factor. You remind me of the same type of people who said that joining the EC in 1973 would <deleted> up Britain. No-one can predict the future. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
