Brexit: give me a positive effect... III

[Brian]

Francois’s missive to Barnier, tellin the EU to get real will do the trick.

Doubtful.

On that we agree.

We probably agree on more than you think.

I’m seeing things on Twitter that I never thought that I ever would; significant numbers of software developers and other IT people being made redundant in the UK. Given the shortage of skilled people, companies must think that things are going to take a very long time to recover, if they ever will, after COVID-19 and then Brexit. It has definitely put a stop to any capital spending I had planned for the next 12 months. I will be battening down the hatches and hoping that things don’t get too bad.

What kind of numbers is significant?

Maybe reducing the pension age back to what it should be, thus releasing jobs for the young who need them should be put on the agenda? I’d retire, for example.

No need, with three million Hong Kong Chinese invited over by Raab, there’s bound to be some great little workers in there.

Plenty of space in Scotland, Hugh. Everyone is welcome, or so you said.

You're not painting a picture of an effective EU really, are you?

Actually I am. Plenty of Poles and Czechs have headed home with their work ethic and valuable experience. In some cases they will have built houses with their hard earned. Others remain and continue to make a massive contribution to our society and economy. Bulgarians and Romanians are some years behind both in terms of migration and development back home. Their problems are hardly down to the EU, quite the reverse.

Have you forgotten the club analogy? Yous join the club yous follows them rules...

Oh, no, the dreaded club analogy. What's it to be, the golf club...?

Try going to your local health club and negotiate a membership without fees and no arbritration by UK courts should you breach their rules.

... and its the health club. Yay!

Don't think we've had the health club before.

Regardless of the causes, would you rather they remained back home?

I can’t imagine being a member of a health club and I’ve never been a cake eater.

Oh, I thought they'd all gone because of Brexit n' racists. Anyway, all for the good, their countries need them.

Poland has actually fared pretty well as regards covid. Could be boom time there.

That looks like a trick question. You're not trying to walk me into a little racist trap, by any chance?

 

[Kirk]

Nope, I haven’t. I know the meaning of the word ‘negotiation’.

And, it seems, the word 'entitlement.'

Looks like we've identified three reasons between us. Four if we include Covid.

 

[Brian]

Whey aye.

Honestly no ( unless you've got something to declare!).

To be clear,I've never seen you in that way, which must make those of that persuasion hitching their wagon to yours all the more uncomfortable.

I don't know what you call a club where you practice exercise, etc. Bloody foreigner!

There is also the other issue that before you had a talent pool of around 500 million people and its dropping down to around a tenth of that, it’s really difficult to get highly skilled people so it’s easier to do the project outside the U.K.

meanwhile back on Brexit Island.

The man who paid for it all. He and his ilk are destroying England.

 

[eternumviti]

He looks familiar. Who is he again?

You've lost me there I'm afraid.

At one point you were even claiming to have never read the Telegraph. Clue: he’s the man who funded your successful Brexit campaign. Send him a case.
