The decision was also praised by Business Secretary Alok Sharma, who praised the move from Unilever as a "clear vote of confidence in the UK". Despite several other global businesses expressing a desire to move their headquarter out of London after Brexit, "there is no sprint towards the exit", as several others continue to state their intentions to settle in London, and will not move to Europe unless there is a "hard Brexit". The Dutch editorial says: "The United Kingdom was on track to outflank the eurozone over the next two years. The Express?

Immigrant haters will be in bliss looking at the net immigration figures, but the loss of skilled workers is serious, you can't train Brits up to do these jobs overnight. Our society is diminished, but Putin's Brexiteer puppets are happy so I guess all must be well. Don't worry, Us Irish can come over and be trained to pick potatoes (that is, after the EU collapses, according to The Express). We can bring our own donkey and cart. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time HMG started working to stop the brain drain (yer exporting yer top talent). The Guardy: The number of British nationals emigrating to other EU countries has risen by 30% since the Brexit referendum, to a level akin to a country experiencing “economic or political crisis”, experts have found. Analysis of data from the OECD and Eurostat shows the number leaving was 73,642 a year in 2016-18, with a 500% increase in those who then took up citizenship in an EU state. In Germany’s case 31,600 Britons have naturalised since the referendum – a 2,000% rise. The biggest jump in migration has been to Spain, followed by France. Next you will be quoting where UK folk will be holidaying, I can see your headline...

Popular Post geisha Posted August 8, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 8, 2020 When I see Gypsies etc bragging about getting 30/ 40 thousand pounds a year from benefit Britain I quite agree on closing the borders and sending them back to where they came from. This is one of the main problems that has driven honest people crazy , working hard all their lives to give tax money away to criminals, yes, they are criminals. I see it myself in France, getting free lodgings , schooling , health benefits, and all because they belong to the EU. There are good laws, and very bad ones. I do not agree with the EU on many things. If many people voted for Brexit, it is the fault of EU . 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brexit has made no difference to the migrant/refugee/asylum situation in the UK. Those people you refer to as 'scum' do not and never have come under the aegis of the FoM directive. They are not EU/EEA or Swiss nationals and so their applications to remain here are covered completely and only by the UK's own laws and regulations; always have been. In addition, most legal immigration to the UK has always come from outside the EU/EEA and Switzerland. Brexit will make no difference to that.

Are you seriously suggesting putting the English/Scottish border there?
