They are you and me.....

We aren't elected.

We aren't elected.

But we can be fired if we don’t do the job......

You clearly know that it's a partnership between government and business, that's obvious. I know you have little faith in government, but you can't possibly think that it's preferable to leave one economic block which favours corporations and private interests and install another in it's place.

If we were still in a EEC type of bloc then there would be little complaint from me. My problem with the EU is about the ever growing control of its centre.....

It sounds impressive but there's no meaning behind that. As you're advocating ceding power from elected officials to business leaders and 'those that do deals', what's the job you're having them do?

And i'm still struggling with why this is different to the current EU system.

A centre which facilitates the interests of business. It's a Neoliberal entity.

I am not advocating ceding power from officials to business leaders, I merely pointed out that when politicians are busy doing something else, business just gets on with growing its businesses.....politicians and bureaucrats however can’t help themselves, they exist to interfere, whereas the former should exist to keep the country safe, prosperous and provide services and the latter should exist to support. The EU is just another level of interference on top of those we already had......

You know you're in a thread about the Brexit Party and it's leader is Nigel Farage. An unelected MP that is given largely unlimited airtime on mainstream news channels and has his own radio show.

He's not on the radio ATM his show has been suspended because of his MEP election process WAKEY WAKEY......

And why did they say it was a disaster ?....

Technically it was fu**ing disaster, but their main reasons were the inherent uncertainty, especially around talent, supply chains and access to markets for both themselves and their supply chain. There was also a degree of uncertainty around regulations such as GDPR and how Britain would regulate things like that post Brexit.

One post on here , and the usual Remain suspects pile in..........

I know...shocking isn’t it.

Well, if they are supposedly technical leaders they will have already completed preparations for supply chains, regulatory issues etc, as we were supposed to have left at the end of March. If BT are not prepared I might just drop a line to Iain Conn and ask why. Access to talent will open up enormously once we leave the EU, we are not stopping people coming here and will make it easier for non Eu citizens....

You don't know any of that Pete as no one has the first clue what kind of Brexit will happen, when it will happen or even if it will happen. No one has the foggiest, so how can you prepare for it? As I'm sure you know, several car companies scheduled their annual downtime for factory maintenance to coincide with March, but as that can was kicked down the road they've been left holding the baby.

Similarly for talent. There's a reason why the number of migrants coming to Britain has fallen, and the government hasn't uttered a single word that suggests numbers will go up. To suggest otherwise is fantasy, as is the suggestion that with shareholders at his day job up in arms over his pay and customers leaving in droves, Iain Conn will have much time to worry about operational matters at BT.

You prepare for all eventualities ranging from no Brexit downwards. Of course they are prepared, do you think companies have been twiddling their collective thumbs for the last couple of years. And yes, kicking that can down the road was the wrong thing to do.

Audit committees take these things very seriously and reputations are on the line. Meanwhile it might be worth putting a few grand into Centrica shares......

What about once the Election process has finished...what will happen then?

Presumably he will stop doing it and dedicate all of his time to being an elected representative - a cause dear to your heart.

Why couldn't we just make it easier for non EU citizens under current arrangements?

You can prepare as much as you want for disruption, but not everything is within your gift to control. Particularly with supply chains. What might the increased cost be? Can you afford it? Can the alternative arrangements meet the requirements of your business?

There are so many spinning plates in the event of Brexit, that it's hard to properly prepare for them all. Especially if, as is the current case, much of the preparatory work is being done through central government - who are largely directing local systems to 'prepare' for every eventuality, while simultaneously asking them not to take any action aside from having faith that work is being done.

The NHS medicines management being an example: local request is to source alternative medicines and rely on continued supply, which will continue as normal, as a result of government arrangements.

Those arrangements have so far been Seabourne Freight and now DHL.
