Current Affairs EU In or Out

[Aberblue]

Well, for one, significant wage growth for the lowest paid in society over the last few years... Effectively unlimited immigration suppresses wages for entry level jobs. And it creates competition for housing for those who can least afford to compete. Low wages coupled with high housing costs are a bad combination...

EU membership was great for big businesses in the UK.. it suppressed lower-end wages to boost their profits... one of the reasons why they were so in favour of retaining membership...

Unlimited and uncontrolled immigration is also great for scummy landlords... inflated prices when housing supply is limited boosts their profits and influence.

Less competition for entry level jobs means wages should rise. Less competition for housing should mean that prices should fall... Prices haven't really come down too much yet, but they have at least stalled somewhat.

The last few years of international affairs have muddied the waters, though... No sensible, educated and informed Brexit voter thought great change and success would come overnight. It was always going to take a few difficult years. Covid and Ukraine has made things difficult for all European countries.

Show patience... Brexit will come good.

You are aware that immigration last year was far higher than in pre Brexit years?

Also, "sensible, educated and informed Brexit voters" are pretty thin on the ground

 

[Hinchcliffe's Corner]

You mean he's an immigrant.

Ironically a lot of immigrants from the UK seem to hold bizzare anti-immigrant views. Very odd.

White middle aged poms moving abroad and telling people how to live both in their new country and their old one. Very common.

How Iceland takes better care of its foreign offenders than the rest of Europe

In Iceland’s few open prisons, prisoners benefit from benign conditions, rural settings and internet access. This makes being imprisoned as a foreigner much easier than in other western Europen countries.

No wonder that bloke from Iceland moved across to Labour recently

Can't use it anyway, on the mere possibility of being a potential serious criminal including violence against women, you're turned away at the border.

There are people that enhance a country, and then there's trash that doesn't.

Easy to see the difference if you open your eyes.

Typical Brexiteer and just so succinct.

Higher wages cause of inflation which is fueling cost of living crisis according Bank of England and sitting government. Which is pushing more people further and in to poverty and many for the first time. All this even before the worst of Brexit is implemented which is finally due to come into practice this coming year. Looks like we will have a sensible Labour administration in place that is not hobnailed by emotion of Brexit.

Also, blue passports.

Made in France.

 

[Wizard]

Made in France.

Just to add a bit more to this, they are made in Poland by a French company (Gemalto). This contract was signed after the Brexit vote and meant the contract moved from a British company to one in the EU.

EU farmer regs on bbc news, Spanish farmers todays focus. Named wheat specific. That'll be bread and beer going up then.

 

[Mr. White]

Lol so none then

Which part of my answer do you disagree with? And why?

And what part of Brexit do you dislike the most?

 

[Mr. White]

Oh how we laughed...

Laughed too soon, perhaps? "he who laughs last laughs longest". Patience is a virtue.

 

[Rita_Poon]

take solace in this...

Also, blue passports.

A brilliant benefit this. Up there with red Xmas trees.

Every Kopites foreign trip ruined before they even get on the plane.
