Four Incredible Stories Concerning The Madness of Brexit
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 окт 2024
- Figures published last week showed that the UK economy grew by 0.6% between April and June. However, this may not signal a significant turnaround in the #ukeconomy
Since leaving the #eu the number of workers coming from the EU to work in the UK has reduced to a trickle. In the meantime, 487,900 Indians and 278,700 Nigerians have been granted work visas in the UK whilst UK workers taking up new work amounted to just 257,000. However, with new restrictions introduced by the former #conservative government those coming to study in the UK have fallen by 20% creating a problem for university financing. Those applying for healthcare visas have fallen by 82% meaning that a sector with already serious labour shortages will continue to suffer.
Some airlines are now having to take their planes to the US for servicing since UK and EU licences for aircraft are no longer compatible.
The UK has fallen out of the top ten manufacturing countries for the first time since the Industrial Revolution, 260 years ago. It is now the twelfth largest manufacturer.
Food imports into the UK from the EU continue to be affected by new bureaucracy despite controls having been delayed five times since the UK left the EU. Samples of food arriving in the UK at #dover are sometimes being sent to Germany to be tested.
Food producers in the EU are already warning that the new checks and bureuacracy may well make exporting to the UK viable and current contracts when they come up for renewal.
Please keep talking about this because the madness is becoming hidden and normalised, the headline about manufacturing should be all over the media
The first sign of madness was going through with Brexit; the second sign of madness is looking for benefits.
Great video, Michael.
but on the up side we have the happyest fish in europe
Thanks Ant 😊
When I see the British constantly comparing themselves to the EU, I can't help but think of East Germany, which for 40 years compared itself to the Federal Republic and boasted that it was better at everything and anything. Well, we know how that ended.
@@bcvanrijswijk But could we handle reunification?
@@bcvanrijswijk The whole artifice of greatness has been used as a drug to stupefy and it has sadly worked.
Yes it's a good comparison. The EU has the wall this time, a big protectionist wall, and people like Michael boast it's so much better, so let's see how things turn out.
Maybe threatening the future President of the US wasn't a good idea, maybe killing off one of their best industries, the internal combustion engine road vehicle to go green wasn't a good idea either, BMW and Mercedes and VW were world leaders but they are only average at EVs, then again maybe it's a masterstroke.
Let's see.
@@CaptainCuttle-mi5rt No, my friend, you don't get it. In the EU, GB has not been talked about or written about for years. I read newspapers in English, German, Dutch, French and Italian. Even the so-called Windsor agreement was found on page 6 or so. The only news about GB that made the front page in recent years was the last election.
So reversing the comparison doesn't work. In the EU, they don't brag about their achievements compared to GB. In that context, GB no longer exists for the people of the EU. GB has simply become one of the 168 or so other countries in the world.
@@bcvanrijswijk Well I don't know what news you read. But it's not the same as me. The UK is very much on the front page all the time.
Not that I care, particularly what is in European newspapers or even UK newspapers, but I do feel sad for those who haven't woken up yet to the evil of the EU.
It is surprising there is any manufacturing left after 45 years of neoliberal economics.
@@johnwright9372 Maggie Thatcher came in to power in 1979 and push that economic agenda on steroids and like they say the rest is history for Brexit UK. I don't see any of these cowardly yobs learning about that do ya ?
I wouldn't say it's what's left. It's what downsized startups have managed to pop up since, and the the occassional foreign plant come in. It is curious though, what, if anything has survived domestically?
Thanks Michael. You know you're doing a good job when so many pathetic trolls are screaming and gnashing their teeth on your channel.
Fresh food in Europe is far superior.
100%
"Fresh food in Europe is far superior," you tell us. Do remember, the UK is in Europe.
Brexit: the continuing horror. There's a rejoin march next month in London. We must keep the pressure up.
Yes lets join another undemocratic shit show.
WE must keep making the case for rejoin even though the ability to do so is still remote. Until support for Brexit in the both the country and the Labour, Tory and Reform parties has been reduced to insignificance and we have PR which will deny overriding power to that idea even if one or two such brexiter people get a place in government, we cannot expect the EU to be interested in our rejoining. The conditions will be very different from the ones we enjoyed while we were full members . We have lost a huge amount of credibility , trust , sympathy and influence due to Brexit. So much for Brexiters idea of "sovereignty" !
A friend of mine made a very valid suggestion that all the immigrants should go on strike for a day or two and see how the system crashes.
@@cormackeenan8175 Yes correct it's the great replacement. Already born and bred British are the minority in London and most major cities. Immigration, the bulk being Somarlian account for 80% of social housing. Only 20% go to families who built and paid for these services. Successive governments have been more than happy to import cheap labour at the cost of those already living here. I have no issue with anyone seeking a better life but it can't be at the expense of those who have paid their dues in order to make some billionaire even more money.
@@kevinmcmahon6910 That is hardly the point that the OP on this thread was making!
or say 'adios', give to caesars what is caesars , will they be happy ? Think not. Will find another group within their skinfolk to scapegoat for not being competive.
You've probably got permission from most of your viewers here to keep banging on about food security and other important Brexit issues, Michael. A voice of reason in the madness in Britland.
Banging on about food security is actually very important to counter two Brexit lies that had a lot of traction with voters. And the post Brexit reality looks very different to the lies. But very few people call this out as a direct consequence of Brexit, like Michael does.
The first lie was, that 'they need us more than we need them', because we buy from them and they are so dirt poor that without the rich Brits as customers, they would literally starve over there in Europe. However often I argued that, on the contrary, it is the nation who is food dependent crucially needs others nearby to get this food, the lie persuaded many!
The second Brexit lie about food came from Mogg, who promised that instantly after Brexit, food and clothing (and energy too!) would be so much cheaper, because the ridiculously high EU standards and the protection racket that is the EU, would fall away, we would be buying our food from wherever it was cheapest, as we don't need these artificially high EU standards.
How differently things have turned out!
I love Micheals style of sarcasm... makes me laugh alot 🤣👍
😊
Thank you Michael
Another brilliant blog
Brexit is madness
Thanks very much Mr Lambert 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Brexit is the far right gift that keeps giving 🙄
You got that right..They’re far right and far wrong.!
Hello fahmad. I don't think you know what kind of organisation the EU is and what it is aspiring to become. Please do enlighten us all.
With respect to the economy the UK is doing rather well. Factual data shows that the UK has maintained its position as one of the top ten richest economies in the world, ahead of France (an EU member). And now the IMF's forecast for next year predicts that the UK economy will out perform the richest economies in Europe and the EU (as a whole). What on Earth is going on? Could it be that your listening to people like Michael Lambert instead of looking at data from the EU and other official bodies?
Brexit proved that the supposed "freedom" outside the EU is actually just isolation and irrelevance on the world stage.
The UK's exit which started with Thatcher (not Farage - he only highjacked the idea) in Bruges in 1988, was a long time coming.
A return to the EU is highly unlikely without a massive shift in British political culture and national identity - a shift that shows no signs of happening.
The UK has backed itself into a corner economically. It's lost the benefits of EU membership but hasn't gained the promised advantages of leaving.
The country is adrift, with no clear strategy to address its mounting societal, economical and political problems.
Politicians are more concerned with saving face than fixing the mess.
There's no easy way out.
Rejoining the EU is politically impossible.
Going it alone is proving disastrous. The UK is stuck in a self-inflicted quagmire with no clear path forward.
It's a textbook case of a country shooting itself in the foot and then wondering why it's limping.
👍
100% agree. Yours is a very insightful analysis.
I most important first step to fixing the country is getting rid of the ancient and undemocratic First Past the Post, and having Proportional Representation like any decent country. No more PMs behaving like dictators, and parties having 100% of the power after getting only 40% of the votes. It's about time the UK got some democracy. And when PR is in place the political parties will be forced to work together and build the country back up from the ruins it is now.
Spot on analysis.....
Did you see on the news this morning, Farage ,earned? 97,000 a month from GB news last year.
Not to say what he earns with the Reform UKKK PLC racket so called political party where people are monthly subscribers and not members.
Amazing. You'd think it would be more. That's interesting though. It's like he's one of their top subscription salesmen. Their spokesperson.
@@raypickles537 that is how a free market works.
Or
Would you rather he earned the same as you? I mean we all put in our eight hours right. Of course one should also get overtime rates too yes! I mean it’s only fair really.
What do you think comrade?
I love Michael’s put-downs - the farce that Brexit Britain is, so eloquently put.
😊
Thankyou Michael, enjoyed the breakdown of what is actually happening.
8 years of madness
and still more to come
The tories governed by knee jerk reaction policies, never any thought for the future or the consequences. Johnson was the perfect example.
Agree! However. I insist, he was way too lazy to actually 'jerk his knee' at any time in government.
Dear Micheal thank you, what a depressing story isn't it, the joys of Brexit Britain, appalling.
My mother warned me that sarcasm is the lowest form of humour but I sure du enjoy your hard-hitting sense of humour - call it what you will.
I am sure your mother is quite right in detecting mild sarcasm in my uncle Michael's discourse. The thing is he has been banging on about Brexit since before the referendum. He said it would be a disaster. It has been a disaster as more and more people, even people who voted for it, now realise. It must be extremely frustrating for him that people still maintain it was a success - without being able to demonstrate any benefits. I am sure your mother was a sensible person who would sympathise with Uncle Michael's frustration and forgive him his mild sarcasm.
Thanks 😁
Thank you Chris 😊
Super informative show, brother. This American still can't believe y'all left the EU. 18:45

I am a proud immigrant !
I've lived in France for 21 years and immigrants like me, differ from Expats, in that. I registered for tax in France, expats don't. Ihave always paid my CPAM health contributions, expats used EHICs with a false address in the UK. I became fluent in French in two years, expats shout louder in english. I integrated with the local community joining the committee of several local organisations and clubs, expats have fish and chip evenings with others and watch videos of downton abbey. When Brexit became a possibility I obtained full french citizenship, thousands of expats had to leave as they could no longer cheat the system. (Possibly the only benefit of brexit, the exodus of fetid gammons)
And the Faridge felators in the UK complain that foreigners don't integrate?????😂😂😂😂
Pretty much the same here, but in Germany.
@@brianferguson7840 Wow. A true Englishman living in France who doesn’t like expats 🤗 Nothing wrong with fish and chips or Downton Abbey (can the French cook fish and chips?).
Anyway, well done to you for doing the immigration thing correctly 👍🥸😂
@@brianferguson7840 Good for you! 🙂👍
Soyez le bienvenu!
Thank you Michael Lambert, after hearing your report, particularly regarding Foreign Ownership of huge swathes of UK infrastructure, I find myself wondering about the shrieking cry of the Brexiters: "Sovereignty!!!"
"........but they can lift heavy weights" ;)
So basically, due to Brexit, the UK lost residents from neighboring countries with identical or very similar values, only to gain many more migrants from further afield, from countries with very different values and possibly religious beliefs. In the process, the UK also lost access to the single market, effectively imposing economic sanctions on itself. British citizens have lost the right to travel, live, and work freely across their own continent. Pure madness!
Just shut up, that is project fear. You have to belive harder.
Racist.
Yup. Sweet justice for the Brextards
Not at all. Most of the EU citizens already here stayed after the referendum, in fact we thought there were 3 million here and 7.9 million have applied to stay, so nobody has left, in fact more than double we though were here have applied to stay.
Last year we had about 126k Eu citizens arrive, about one fifth of arrivals.
Given that most people would like to see about 50k a year we still have too many people coming.
That is known as a pyrrhic victory, a beautiful word from the past that sums up Brexit completely. A victory that cost the nation lots and delivered nothing.
The majority of students with families are post graduates, ie Masters or PhD. They are the best and brightest who are now looking at other better options.
Oh well, Sovereignty....
Of course I believe it Micheal.After all the crowing the Uk..except for digging up Kent..was/is still,totally unprepared for Brexit.Have a good week end.
Your sarcasm is absolutely spot-on.
Keep going Michael 👍 Keep showing up the 51%
You seem to have very effectively described the aftermath of Brexit as a mixture of: the intentional (fewer Europeans living and working in the UK), the unintentional (more Africans and Asians coming to work and live in the UK), and the incompetent (sending Germsn products back to Germany for testing and aeroplanes to the US for servicing). A very thought provoking analysys.
Your commentary is much appreciated, Mr Lambert! 🎉😊
I live in Morocco now where my crap UK pension is a fortune and it's warm!I won't be back!Shame really!
So you are a pension refugee of do you call yourself an expat to help the Moroccans so to speak?
Thank you Michael, a good talk.
Thanks Michael 😊

The three words that remind us what a third-rate country uk has become are food labelled 'Not for EU'.
If our standards are too low, we could increase them. It's all up to the LibLabCon permanent socialist traitor establishment now.
@@paullarne of course they are, which is why UK rivers are so full of sh**
Thank you for drawing our attention to the ridiculous situation re: aircraft servicing. Yet another example of Brexit throwing a spanner in the works and making things worse for us.
Superb as per normal, thank you Michael, keep them coming. It is frightening that we allow foreigners to buy up and control our critical assets yet hate them living and working here. Strange.
It was Thatcher who sold everything .
Given the dire state of Britain’s waterways, it’s the EU that should be concerned about bio-hazards! Utter lunacy.
Biosecurity is important & has been far too lax. Currently the UK is getting a new tree disease every 18 months. Main problem is not food but imports of plants, shrubs, saplings & timber.
Thank you, Michael, for this interesting and insightful video. The adverse consequences of Brexit are continuing to strangle the economy of Britain! Everything will always be more expensive to do, when you are rejecting the economic benefits of trading with prosperous nations nearest to you, and instead, doing business with nations on the other side of the world! The Sevington fiasco is a nightmare of ridiculous bureaucracy too, it’s just unbelievable that Brexiteers could try and say that this arrangement is somehow economically beneficial to Britain! Of course, at the time of the Brexit Referendum, Brexiteers didn’t say that, but tried to tell the British electorate that our trade with the EU wouldn’t be adversely affected, and it was a huge lie! Brexit broke Britain!
Another excellent in a nutshell video.
What a mess the UK has become, a lonely small, insignificant player. The aircraft engineering licensing laws apply to pilots also, when UK left the EU my EU licence became suddenly not recognized by the UK unless I PAY the UK authority to do a licence conversion which includes another medical and in some cases resist of exams and simulator flight checks which is an absolute waste of time for another piece of paper with UK written on it, in most peoples view is absolute madness. Additionally UK pilots CANNOT go for jobs in EU unless they obtain EU work permit which they are unlikely to get, whereas EU pilots are able to go to BA or Virgin easily, it’s a one way street. OneAir as you mentioned and other companies are trying to persuade UK government to fix this licensing issue with EU which will take years. UK is an absolute mess, costing the UK people unnecessary costs.
Since Brexit the difficulty in getting seen by a doctor in London has become atrocious and it is not an exaggeration to say that food prices have doubled.
australia didnt brexit and food prices doubled.....NZ also, usa also...

Worse food also means higher NHS costs 😂😂
True.
And of course, the countries providing NHS and care sector workers dont need them in their own healthcare provision! How selfish of us!
The UK has forgotten the experience of WW2 regarding food independence. Wait until winter weather hits transport and most especially food imports. Stock up now. Don't panic, Mr Mainwaring.....yet!
Good , factual podcast , more of your work is something people need to get involved with
Thanks Allan 😊

Thanks, Michael. Great post and considered points.
Thank you Kev 😊
We are a small and insignificant country. The thing is, we haven't recognised that oh so obvious fact. So people voted to leave the EU, well, I hope they are happy with what they have. For me, I hope I see us rejoin within my lifetime. The problem is from the EU perspective, we are little more than an annoying puppy that won't stop jumping up. If we do want to join I think we will HAVE to take on the Euro and anything else they tell us too. We had a great deal when we were in. Now it will cost us heavily to rejoin. Shame on all those that lied, shame on the fools that fell for the lies.
Totally agree
I hope you're correct, but with a right-wing uk press and borderline fascist social media, it will be difficult. And UK is trending towards 1920s Germany in its behaviour. As things get worse, and I believe they will over the next few years, the far-right will continually blame 'the other'. Economically, no doubt the 3 major parties know that EU makes sense. Staying out is for those that want to make the poor poorer and help divide society.
Morning Michael there's a lot of people with their heads in the sand or the daily mail - see you next week
Always thought provoking..thanks

Hi Michael I always Agee with you keep going, perhaps we could get back In the eu one day?
morning michael always look forward to your videos ❤
The long decline of the UK is only set to continue - sadly.
All can be stopped tomorrow if it was allowed.
Hello MASC440 "... decline ..." you say. I guess you're not aware that the UK has maintained its place in the league table of the top ten richest economies in the world, still ahead of France (an EU member)? And now the IMF has predicted that next year the UK will outperform the top European economies and the EU as a whole.
@@4tnine Cope and denial wont help. UK is an Orwellian nightmare now. Germany is the economic heart of Europe and it's economy is dying after No-streeem/Ukr. EU is cooked and will soon have the same street trouble as UK. Believe the Gov - take another jabbb - safe and effective they say.
@@Anti-Peaceforcepolice How and if what was allowed. Explain your post, please. Or it will be handbags at dawn.
@@MASC440While your starting post is correct, your second comment is like it was written by another person.
To call Germanys economy dying is ridiculous. It has problems and is stagnant atm.
The war in Ukraine damaged all European economies but especially Germany got the most hit by it as Russia was a big customer for its machinery (power generators, transformers, chemical refineries, production equipment etc)
How fitting that UK is now practically a colony of the EU. Late, but very satisfactory.
Hi Michael, the story concerning the maintenance/servicing of the aircrafts belonging to the UK based airlines is worrying. Not only has it safety concerns but also how the airlines maintain their fleets especially the routes that they fly on. It would mean less seat availability making it more expensive to fly. Hard to believe when you take in to account Rolls Royces jet engines are so much a part of many airlines worldwide. Another major mess as a result of Brexit. Thanks for highlighting those points. Cheers
Just what did all those gullible people who swallowed the leavers lies want from brexit. I'm fed up with their claims that, "We haven't left yet " or" its not been a success because of remainers" or" The EU are punishing us" etc, etc .They are the perfect example of cognitive dissonance.
Now you now how EU citizens feel when they´re constantly confronted with lies about the EU, and how the UK, as the only country on the planet, can join the EU SM or EU CU as a 3rd country.
Ah those Brexit lies, whatever happened to Blair, Blair's Liar-in-Chief Alistair Campbell, Blair's poodle Adonis, Gordon Brown, Cameron, Osborne, Clegg, Carney the BBC, the list is endless.

Care workers get paid a pittance. Its so low money, that they depend on food banks. Im very surprised that anyone would want to work in the care sector? So, we indeed have a big problem, and it’s going to get bigger!
great video as always Michael

Under WTO rules, the EU can't give preferential treatment to the UK when it comes to product and food standards, other countries would (rightfully) cry foul. Also consider that some of the food rolling off lorries in Dover isn't from the EU. Containers of mangoes from India might arrive in Rotterdam, some going to Brussels, some going to London. Those destined for the EU market will get checked at the port, those destined for the UK aren't checked and are waved on their way, because what the UK imports is no longer any of the EUs business.
Sorry, WTO or WEF rules? What unelected official are we talking about here. That old chestnut, the EU is not a democratic institution is it? That’s why in a large part we are out. Correct?
@@hughbarr8408 WTO, World Trade Organisation. I don't know why you think the EU is undemocratic. The members of the European Parliament are all elected (by proportional representation) the commissioners are appointed by the elected heads of each nation state.
Farage said he would leave if Brexit failed but, now he’s MP for Clacton and trying to tell the PM what to do! Of course he denies that Brexit failed . I get my groceries delivered because I’m clinically vulnerable to Covid and almost every week there are food stuffs that are not available. I haven’t known of this for - well since we joined the EU- until now.
Farage is another clown…
It's straight outta 1984 - "Choco ration is up to 25 grammes". They fall for it every time.
Ha, ha …….. I thought similar😂😂
The brexiteers sleep soundly knowing everything is British now!!!
Torry economic, get Brexit done to lose access to common market and get rid of Europeans. Result 40 bln loss of GDP. 300k EU citizen left, they allowed 2.3 mln in 😂
I think Brexit should be undone. It is a sign of intelligence to admit that the far-right got it wrong and to reverse Brexit.
Not possible!
You can't "undo" Brexit: you can apply to join the EU and then wait for an answer. After the UK qualifies to join, of course, which may take a bit of work.
@@Korschtal Plus there is no overnight solution to this trade and nationalistic mindset.
It's worse than simply undoing this mess, IMO. The far-right's goal was *growth* for a financial industry that provided little for the citizenry while attempting to rip off the public's policy initiatives, aka citizen taxes. The right-wing is truly anti-people while maximizing growth for the well-to-do. I don't need to prove this as the UK citizenry is living that nightmare and they are not going to wake up anytime soon, apparently.
@@Korschtal So tell us where the Uk doesn't qualify. You must've looked into this if that's what you're saying.
Studied in London starting in 1963, and was shocked at the lack of products available (red peppers, etc)did usual mid 20's do got married etc. Once the the "once in lifetime "referendum of 1975 passed, over the next 10 years the UK économie became much more dynamic (goods in the shops, etc) and also lots of US companies using the UK as manufacturing bases to avoid EU import tax. OK in 1984 took an opportunity to go and work in France ( just in time?) to what seemed a more dynamic manufacturing base. Escaped for the political mad island!
Looking forward to ETIAS, Michael, and the confusion and madness that that will bring!
Can't wait! 🙁
Just more evidence of the self harm voting to leave caused. I'm not sure how we will ever get out of this mess. I'm in Lyon at the moment and can't help but notice how it has modern buildings and a thriving economy. Let's see how Labour try to solve this problem. I have my doubts that they have the will or capability to solve the crisis that Brexit has caused.
You need money for the solution. The UK doesn't have this money.
And it is missing hundreds of billions every year due to Brexit losses.
Plus trade losses (EU import/export), More than 100 billion pounds by 2023.
Even the financial market can no longer generate this, which is why the national debt is growing immensely. And at the end of 2025, the EU launches its attack on the UK financial market.

I used to think the opening of Heathrow Terminal 5 was an unmitigated disaster. However, the current state of affairs in the UK leaves me well and truly flummoxed. While I miss my family and friends over in the Lakes, one thing I do NOT miss about the UK is the senseless, ineffective bureaucracy. There just aren't enough words in the English language to adequately describe what a mess the British bureaucracy has become especially post Brexit. Last year I sent roughly 100 cards to friends and family last Christmas. I had; to keep UK Customs happy, hand write 100 corresponding customs declarations for each and every Christmas card. Phooey!
I do not understand. I write letters and cards to friends on the continent without customs declaration.

Now you have the sovereignty to bring nurses from countries where diplomas can be bought in the high street and you can pay somebody to sit for you at exams. What a nice story!
As far as I know, nurses and doctors from abroad are assessed before they can work here though.
This would be hilarious - except that it's not! Just very, very sad and depressing.
The full hit of brexit on the UK is still to come. Hopefully, Labour will begin the task of building better relations with the EU. One good sign is the reciprocal arrangement that will allow young people to work in the EU for 3 years and vice versa. At least it's a start. Keep them coming, Michael 👍
And which was absolutely denied by Labour ministers according to the Guardian and the Financial Times. After it was hinted at by the Times. Well if this is how Starmer is playing 'hard to get', he will get nowhere with the EU. This is just one misdirection after another, why on earth should the EU take Starmer seriously. Don't they know that Brussels sees British newspapers too?
My local Coop has just substantially raised its prices on several basic items. Doubt I can afford to shop there any longer.
Look at the news regarding a Scottish fishing company. Owner of many fishing boats. They have been using overseas employees for many years. The company possibly supporting brexit.

Very good analysis of the situation this country is in. As I've commented many times on this channel.....we need to address the issues in Heslth & Social Care. Politicians of all colours have failed to address the ageing population & inactivity of so many in their 50's. I atteded a G..P. appointment yesterday, I wasn't seen by a G.P. a paramedic saw me. the wait to see an Orthopaedic Consultant is at least 7months to a year. wss what I was told. I telephoned our locsl private hospital the Spire Group,, I could see a Consultant the same week. This is WHY doctors, nurses & other Health Professionals are leaving the NHS The private sector cherry pick the work.
Not just people in their 50's I'm afraid....many young people also choose not to work.

Why as Europeans do you not want Europeans in your country?🤔
Zee War...don't you know.
most of us, with a brain, do. 52% are puppets to (propaganda of) billionaire media owners (who dont want to pay EU taxes)
They don’t mind Europeans per se, but what the English in particular feel is that they are ‘not quite equal’ to them, so they need to be able to get rid of Europeans when they aren’t ‘useful’, and they shouldn’t be able to access anything on the same level unless they’re fully-paid-up citizens. So they’re happier to take eg Indians on a 2-yr temporary visa as they can control them easier. It also doesn’t help that they don’t have an ID system so they don’t have an administrative way to treat EU citizens equally like EU countries can do. Empire is still alive and well in many British (English) people’s minds!

@MichaelLambert, you're stating the cold hard truth of what it takes now to do business with the UK. And with EU import controls, manufacturing in the UK may not remain attractive for 67 million people as compared to 450 million in the EU (without the UK). UK is trapped in a double whammy, export and import! Don't know whether to cry for or laugh at the United Kingdom.
Brilliant. The sausage story was the "wurst" of them (sorry!).

The UK was leading in banking and insurance services in Europe when part of the EU! The profits and taxes from these areas could have been used to stimulate manufacturing and other services! As soon as the UK left the EU the banking sector transferred from the UK to Europe!
This was the reason my daughter, who used to work for JP Morgan, transferred to Portugal and then back to the USA!
Yes, for the same reason, part of my family moved to EU. We stayed in UK for a while, but having seen what a toilet UK has become and the trend downwards, moved over to EU. Love it here.
I live in Africa now I feel safer!!!!
By god !
This is HILARIOUS ! !
Not Folkestone container port - I think you mean Felixstowe. But I totally agree with your commentary on this Brexit business - it's complete rubbish and total waste of resources.
fanatastic news. so lets install the hard border to ireland and to gibraltar. nobody in the EU wants any talks with the UK. the nations are simply fed up. fullfill the treaty or accept the consequences.
A hard border in ireland? Yeah, put the phone down for today Stefan.
No need for a hard border in Ireland, there´s a functioning agreement for it in place.
I just want the truth and the facts. Nothings getting cheaper for me
The universities are doing fine. Both of them.
When fees were introduced and universities became businesses, I always said that we'd go from having 2 universities to 20,000 and then back to 2 again. We've gone through the maximum and now we're heading downwards, they're all going bust.
It’s more than £22k for foreign students. It’s £27k plus a visa cost. Housing is £1k a month. I just sent the money.
