So, who is to blame for companies relocating, and what words of comfort do you have for the freshly unemployed?Ah, hard cases.
Brexit has caused very little unemployment, unlike in the years after we joined when mass unemployment was caused by simultaneous dropping of tariffs with manufacturing rivals like Germany and imposition of tariffs on supply chain imports from non EU countries (not to mention new tariffs on exports to non EU countries).So, who is to blame for companies relocating, and what words of comfort do you have for the freshly unemployed?
What absolute nonsense. For most of our membership of the EU unemployment was low, and now we've left, it's demonstrably the cause of jobs going overseas.Brexit has caused very little unemployment, unlike in the years after we joined when mass unemployment was caused by simultaneous dropping of tariffs with manufacturing rivals like Germany and imposition of tariffs on supply chain imports from non EU countries (not to mention new tariffs on exports to non EU countries).
And not to mention all the businesses put out of business or forced to contract due to the cost of the ever expanding EU aquis regulations.
But that was a more than acceptable price to pay for ascending the sunlit uplands of becoming a province of a country called Europe.
Some churn was inevitable just as it is with any major change and sadly some people end up o the receiving end. Should parliament have banned railways because of the millions of workers in the stagecoach and packhorse industries that lost their jobs when they were put out of business?
Almost all of the Brexit impact has been masked by the Covid job retention scheme. The next twelve months are likely to be... interesting.Brexit has caused very little unemployment, unlike in the years after we joined when mass unemployment was caused by simultaneous dropping of tariffs with manufacturing rivals like Germany and imposition of tariffs on supply chain imports from non EU countries (not to mention new tariffs on exports to non EU countries).
Very few companies will have been put out of business by EU regulations, since complying with those regulations opened up a market of almost half a billion people. In a lot of cases the UK government's implementation of EU directives went way above and beyond what was actually obligated.And not to mention all the businesses put out of business or forced to contract due to the cost of the ever expanding EU aquis regulations.
No it is not rubbish, it was high from the late 70s until well into the 90's.What absolute nonsense. For most of our membership of the EU unemployment was low, and now we've left, it's demonstrably the cause of jobs going overseas.
And that coincided with Thatcher's reign of terror, oddly enough.No it is not rubbish, it was high from the late 70s until well into the 90's.
It started well before Thatcher. One reason Labour lost to her (Deo Gratius) in the first place.And that coincided with Thatcher's reign of terror, oddly enough.
Did it have anything to do with the EU? No.It started well before Thatcher. One reason Labour lost to her (Deo Gratius) in the first place.

This is paranoid nonsense. I think Brexit is enormously stupid and harmful, but I don't want the country to fail just to be proven right. You're gleefully waiting for the EU to collapse, so you can laugh at the suffering this will cause to millions of people.^I've got over it but it seems a lot of people are desperate for the country to fail. It won't. In fact the EU seem to be drifting eastwards with the only winner being Putin and China. Probably find the Sputnik vaccine is a clone of Phizer. It's what the Russians do; remember Concorde and Concordski. Biden will not be happy.
Post hoc ergo propter hoc?Why might our growth have gone down after we joined the EEU?
Blimey. I hope that gets resolved quickly.Went down to the chemist today. Unable to get hold of one of my medicines because of changes to imports as a result of Brexit. I’ve also been hit a few times trying to order plants from abroad. Not happening.
No idea why that was, things are going pretty well for the UK so far.Went down to the chemist today. Unable to get hold of one of my medicines because of changes to imports as a result of Brexit. I’ve also been hit a few times trying to order plants from abroad. Not happening.
Plus you can die happy that we're a sovereign, independent trading nation, in full control of our borders and money...No idea why that was, things are going pretty well for the UK so far.
Are you sure the medicine wasn't just out of view behind a unicorn?
It is fully in order for the EU to prohibit exports of any product (including vaccines) to perfidious Albion. Brexit was a hostile act from the EU perspective.Why do people on this site love to quote a part of a sentence. The morons are firmly on the the EU side. My wife had her second jab early. It was programmed for 11 weeks but she was called up after 9 weeks. I'm sure this post will be selectively quoted.
Biden will not be happy if he has to agree with trump.
It seems we paid for the Halix factory in the Netherlands that the EU want to take over.
Yep. We’ve had to wait days for it to come through but never not entirely. Had to shop around a few chemists in Leeds to find one that had it in stock.No idea why that was, things are going pretty well for the UK so far.

Pound is also back above the dollar level it was at when the referendum was held and is climbing steadily against the euro.It is quite clear that some people who say we're doing alright aren't measuring it on how the UK is doing as a whole, but rather by making a comparison with how the EU is doing. If they're struggling with vaccinations, then ha ha!
"Brexit: Predictions of Economic Doom Show Why People Ignore "Experts"
"A vote to leave would cause a profound economic shock creating instability and uncertainty which would be compounded by the complex and interdependent negotiations that would follow. The central conclusion of the analysis is that the effect of this profound shock would be to push the UK into recession and lead to a sharp rise in unemployment."
I think this fully sums up the hardline remainer mentality.It is fully in order for the EU to prohibit exports of any product (including vaccines) to perfidious Albion. Brexit was a hostile act from the EU perspective.
This is true. I would actually go as far as saying I'd be hesitant to advocate rejoining, but think we should get back in the CU and SM as soon as we can.Pretty sure it's a forum rule to only quote relevant parts.
It may seem like it to you, but I think most remainer 'morons' are not on the EU's 'side' apart from some very fanatic ones. I can't speak for everyone but while I strongly feel we should have stayed in the EU, and respect the EU for various things they have done, I don't agree with everything they do, and the vaccine fiasco is an example. So, I'm on no ones 'side'.
This may not be 100% true, but the cost of Brexit is still staggering. It's already cost us more than the entire membership fees we ever paid the EU, and will result in decades of lost opportunities, lost investment and lost growth."A vote to leave would cause a profound economic shock creating instability and uncertainty which would be compounded by the complex and interdependent negotiations that would follow.

GBP:USD was touching 1.48 and now it's 1.36. GBP : EUR was 1.30, it's now 1.17. It has appreciated of late, but still down.Pound is also back above the dollar level it was at when the referendum was held and is climbing steadily against the euro.
Apologies I made a slight error (0.16 of a cent out)GBP:USD was touching 1.48 and now it's 1.36. GBPUR was 1.30, it's now 1.17. It has appreciated of late, but still down.
Where are you getting your data from if you say GBP is above USD level from time of the referendum?
The referendum was June 2016...Apologies I made a slight error (0.16 of a cent out)
