Current Affairs EU In or Out

Im also a bit sick of this 'right to justice' nonesense. Can't we just all think 'that guy looks a bit shifty' and hang them at that point just to be on the safe side.

Unless they're an American diplomat of course.

The proposed new emigration legislation is what will in effect create a border.

NI as an artificial entity cannot surely have the minimum wage of 25k imposed on it.

Given our unique position I would welcome the views of @peteblue and @Old Blue 2.

I doubt that there will be any difference between NI and the RoUK....

Brexit team seeks to evade Irish Sea checks on goods

Boris Johnson’s Brexit team has been ordered to draw up plans to “get around” the Northern Ireland protocol in the Brexit withdrawal agreement so the prime minister can play hardball with Brussels over trade.Officials in Taskforce Europe, run by Johnson’s EU negotiator David Frost, are working in se

Why would anyone trust the UK?

We are very reliant on migrant labour and I would hazard a guess that most do not earn £25k. The north of my own county is the second industrial base of the province and I can definitely foresee the main employers starting to look around for alternative sites.

As with Brexit, NI should be treated as a special case.

I think they will set the income level slightly lower, not much mind, so there may be an issue. Unemployment in NI is less than the U.K. average. I doubt companies will move, unless it’s to drive down wages anyway, as there will still be enough people to fill jobs not filled by immigration. But there is nothing to stop the U.K. just changing its own rules as they see fit...

They are already changing their tune on this, see this mornings Andrew Marr show. Basically, it's a loose rule and the salary thing is meaningless. If an industry needs it, they will allow it. So no change, just a bluff to keep the electorate happy. Plenty of jobs out there, just no one from Britain wants to do them.

Our economic inactivity rate is much higher than the U.K. so I wouldn’t be so sure about that.

The ethnic demographics of one of NIs main employers (Moy Park) reflects how important the migrant workforce has been locally to fill posts that were previously difficult to staff.

I always though Michael Gove was a prick for saying "people have had enough of experts", but that's enough for me.
