Has anyone considered how Britain is going to survive after the army of eastern European amateur gas engineers abandon us?


UK doesn't need gas engineers or nurses. It needs to be great again:

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/brexit-theresa-may-speech-hard-facts-plan-laid-out-challenges-conservatives-eu-a8237486.html

What a speech by the PM!

Everyone has run into the street to celebrate.

A carnival atmosphere; people quoting their favourite bits, children taking turns at being different cabinet ministers.

Just saw a Millennial share some avocado with an elderly racist.

Probably not until the UK economy tanks properly and it stops making money. If Poland starts being the place to be then he'll move there to make money and tell the Polish to stop being Polish and be good EU citizens as the EU tries to destroy their culture and country. That is how the game is played.

EUrophile logic: the Polish government enjoys massive public support for the policies that they are enacting according to their specific manifesto pledge, but this is bad for "democracy".

I do not think that word means what they think that it means.

Context: the ancient judges that are being retired are hold-outs from the USSR era. Now, why would a pro-EU rag be butthurt about that? Thinking

On the Poland question though, my opinion is that someone in our military should have a word in the ear of someone in the Polish military and suggest they pass on to Donald Tusk that when the Ruskies pitch up then we may not turn up or just be "strategically late".

They hate Tusk in Poland, he's the last of the liberals they've not got shut of yet

Pro-Brexit Wetherspoons is doing swimmingly, and will do even better after #Brexit, thanks.

Shocker: successful people look for opportunities, not problems.

Whilst at th same time, Unilever, Britains third biggest company, moves corporate HQ to the Netherlands.

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-unilever-structure/unilever-picks-rotterdam-for-hq-as-britain-loses-the-battle-before-brexit-idUSKCN1GR0PJ

Whilst it's fair to say this has much more to do with better legal protection laws against hostile takeovers in the dutch system, it doesn't paint a positive picture for Britains competitiveness over the "30 to 50 year" timescale they've made this decision based on. Especially when, as it appears we now are, we're making a causative link between company earnings and strategy with Brexit, when that's hardly even a factor at all. Roger, I expected better.

Oh, and as a heads up for anyone involved in the markets, worth watching Unilever for the next couple of weeks. Fundamentals appear strong and if they have to leave the FTSE index, the share price could rapidly become quite good value for money.

300 people. However they may have a problem moving their UK customers to the Netherlands as well.

Out of 7,300 UK employees, though, so not an insignifiant chunk. They will still have significant operations in the UK, of course, but it's less tax for this country, it's less jobs and most importantly, it may be £110Bn knocked off the FTSE.
https://www.bloomberg.com/quote/ULVR:LN

That kind of thing does matter, at least a little.

A massive multinational now has a very strong incentive to lobby Berlin for untaxed trade between the EU and the UK, you say?

Report: The UK is considering opening its borders and abandoning all customs checks after Brexit




Quote:
The UK government is reportedly considering keeping its borders completely open to the EU if there is no deal.
Theresa May and co are prepared to employ the "Throw Open the Borders option" to protect Britain from costly tariff and non-tariff barriers.
The EU would have to break its own law in order to comply with the proposal.

As opined many times, we don't actually have any other option, since we've not done a damn thing to put in place the plant and people required to handle any sort of tariffs.

We know it, and Berlin knows it, so there's no real negotiating going on. They can dictate any terms that they like.

European Parliament's vice president, Mairead McGuiness wrote:
So you're not leaving [the European Union]?

No, we are leaving.

We're just going to keep following all EU diktats, regulations and laws, keep our borders completely open to goods and people, and keep paying as much or more to Berlin.

But we're definitely giving up our Commissioner and even the token pretence that we have any say in how Berlin runs Greater Germoney.

WTO MFN clause means that dropping tariffs cannot be done only to the EU it has to be done for all 168 WTO members.

This is the kiss your industry goodbye scenario.
