No I take polls results with a pinch of salt I was in the hardcore vote that have made my voting decsion years before the EU referendum was announced if you look at the results of the Lord ashcroft poll taken the day after the vote you will notice there was a hardcore group on both sides that knew which way they would vote I suspect even before the EU referendum was announced 39% for remain and 36% for leave https://lordashcroftpolls.com/2016/06/how-the-united-kingdom-voted-and-why/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does that fit in with the thread title ? Well that is news around where I live in affluent Surrey. The food banks have more than doubled in the last twelve months and we are being canvassed to support them. My sister lives in Shropshire and the church there have started taking a stall on the weekly market to distribute food to the needy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunroaming Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 21 hours ago, Mac Mickmanus said: It needs to be pointed out that the government is considering bringing back people who took early retirement , back into the workforce , those who took early retirement at 50 years old , its the people aged between 50 and 65 who are being encouraged to get back into the workforce , rather than those in retirement age , 65 years old + And most of those people are doctors who can take retirement from the age of 55. So you are correct. But it is because the NHS was devastated by the Exodus of doctors and nurses following Brexit that have never been replaced. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No they are not , there are other things happening apart from Brexit , about 500 000 British people took early retirement at aged 50 plus from numerous different jobs and NHS staff leaving because of Brexit is a different situation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Early retirement numbers are not responsible for the uks economic woes. Brexit on the other hand has played a major role. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
