Aren’t you a union man, you don’t think the EU have been instrumental in helping workers rights ? I’ll be honest a lot of what you write i’d Expect from the likes of @peteblue . I understand his position on the EU and business ,I get where he’s coming from . I understand others who want to leave to different reasons including the EU policies on state aid or a variety of reasons . I just sometimes struggle to reconcile yours .
Like the new Copyright Laws
Do you believe the (presumably) small number of businesses you've personally spoken to are comparable to the much larger number of businesses included in the research I quoted?
Same with you defending an organisation that takes control - I was a manager who had to comply with ludicrous EU directives in a massive organisation - as a manager it hindered myself , and staff ..... itb also raised cost too the council tax payer....
No just on the media news Bruce,,,,,,
I've had the good fortune to speak to perhaps 300 chief data officers (or variants thereof) this past year, and none regard GDPR as a bad thing. Indeed, for many it's provided a welcome jolt for their businesses to get their house in order and take data more seriously.
The ironic thing I suppose is that the backstop only comes into play if a deal isn't concluded within the withdrawal transition timeframe, and it's the arch Brexiteers who told us it would be the easiest deal in history that are getting worked up by the backstop, and therefore presumably of the opinion that the deal won't be done in that timeframe and therefore the transition period will have to be extended.
It’s almost like stuff like that and workers rights are good things
Oh, just you said you'd spoken to them in a previous post. I assumed it was from personal experience. I know you were a senior manager in the horticulture industry in your neck of the woods so figured it was from other senior managers in your sector or something.
No apparently just in implementing EU directives and Law. Businesses weren't given 2 years to comply with GDPR regulations...oh no wait, they were!
UK just say we are sticking to the agreement, not putting a border in place because of the agreement we have signed so it's over to you if you want to change that your side.
Free of movement between both sides has been in since before the EU was even though of so why a problem all of a sudden.
Any none Irish people can just fly into Liverpool airport ect if the want to enter the UK anyway so why make a special trip to Dublin to get get access to the UK?
Trade would be the same for northern Ireland for the rest of the UK .
Plus it's a falicy that things are not moving forward on the technology front as at least 2 countries are about to bring in these. Changes this year.
I think the point is that one is frictionless and one is not. You can freely move across the border in Ireland, and by extension, into the UK...but you won't just be able to fly into the UK without passport checks.
The truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth
Looking from the outside and as a person who visits London 4/5 times a year to visit my son and Liverpool 5/6 times a year for football i think if the word Great had been taken out of Great Britain years ago a lot of this mess would have been avoided
A lot of British people still think the Britain is an all conquering empire that Europe will bow to
The quotes of
Britain will hold all the cards in a trade deal back this up when in reality nothing could be further from the truth when it’s one economy dealing with 27
Britain has been a major bug bear in the EU plans with regard to reforming labour laws on minimum wage , zero hour contracts , holidays and workers rights in general , so while they may miss some of the markets they won’t miss the arrogance and stubbornness of the British Govt in relation to making laws that benefit the working man
I’m not saying the EU is perfect , far from it but as the speaker above said Europe is a lot better place to live and work because of it
Ok so I refer you to my question before when you linked me , rather than linking me or what you’ve seen on a news report what ludicrous directives did you personally have to comply with ? Just give me three or four and then I can either discuss it perhaps see where you’re coming from . I want to learn Joe , Let’s have an actual discussion like others have engaged in even if we disagree .
Life it’s about learning and honestly I want to , I’m ignorant about loads of things in life which is why I’m a voracious reader to try to make up for many numerous short comings ,
