Yep.

As someone diagnosed as suffering from adult ADHD I think you'll find that I'm painfully honest. As such I have to say that you are a moron.

The Masks have well and truly slipped from our resident brexiters in here, bigots pure and simple

 

[spectateur]

except that being the 5th largest economy the boot will be on the other foot......

But its not a proper economy based on making things. Its all about financial wheeling and dealing and money laundering.

It's going to be interesting next week if the French still stick out about no extension unless there is a GE it will put a lot of pressure on parliament .
can see were they are coming from why have another 3 months of parliament in mess unless there is a going to be a certain outcome at the end of it waste of time for everyone.

why is that ?, I don’t mean to pry but depending on what you do I may be able to help......

I work in the investment industry, the whole uncertainty has caused my company to look at moving ops to Dublin as our clients are moving their offices understandably

I feel for you and your colleagues at this time of uncertainty.

If you are young enough and it is practical to consider moving to ROI, it is a great place to live and work. Biggest problem is price of property in the greater Dublin area.

Best wishes mate!

Thank you, it’s appreciated mate. I’m 27, so I’m not too old, plus I can get an Irish passport so it’s a possibility - I guess we just need to see what happens, as I’ve been toying with the idea of looking into moving to Copenhagen at some point anyway

Boris Johnson lying...what a surprise.

Well, the key thing here is having the scope to diverge (which they do), rather than they will diverge (which could be the case)

Ah so! It will allow them to be used as a negotiating tactic like no deal.

“Give up your employment rights voluntarily or we will legislate them out of existence”

that sort of negotiation?

The problem is trust.

Firstly trust with the EU. The UK have given assurances about standardisation and now there are reports that they might plan to diverge from EU regulations, which might jeopardise a Free Trade Agreement with the EU. The EU, as Merkel has indicated, will not want to open up market access to a deregulated UK on it's doorstep.

Secondly, trust with Parliament, who should frankly know better than to trust a serial liar. Assurances have been given, that while divergence can happen, it won't.

Lads you're piling in here, I'm just saying what the difference is in legislative terms. I also think workers rights should be strongly protected, I'm just saying that the Bill allows scope for divergence.

In theory (and yes, I know unlikely) it would allow us to potentially improve on the EU standard rather than stay aligned to it. That's all.
