Another prediction comes true...
"Immigration rules are to be temporarily relaxed for overseas care workers in a bid to recruit and keep staff, the government has announced. "
It ain't gonna be temporary and it'll cost a fortune...
But hey, mottie doesn't care...
Not a single brexiteer has yet pointed out a single benefit of leaving the EU!

Just knowing you're seething with rage so early on Christmas Day when you should be relaxing is a Brexit benefit to many on here. Gleðileg jól!Xx

Well it worked for the lorry drivers, didn't it ?
Yet more EU-based truck drivers have come out to say they are not remotely interested in the possibility of working in the UK under a temporary 3-month visa scheme.

They even tried higher wages.https://trans.info/hu/more-european-lorry-drivers-disregard-uk-s-temporary-visa-scheme-256062
European lorry drivers recruited to help prevent Christmas shortages are being offered salaries of up to a fifth more than their British counterparts....

Just 20 foreign drivers have so far been issued,

Despite constant Govt efforts to downplay the impact of Brexit, the Govt's own fiscal watchdog, the Office of Budget Responsibility, has declared that the impact of Brexit on the UK economy will be worse in the long run compared to the covid pandemic, now in a deadly 4th wave.
Yup Brexit worse than Pandemic
Yup Brexit worse than Pandemic
Aww bless
The thick creepy stalker can't even get the right language or the timing of Christmas

In the meantime...
"One year on, most voters say Brexit has gone badly
An Opinium poll also found that 42% of people who voted Leave in 2016 had a negative view of how it had turned out"
"More than six out of 10 voters believe Brexit has either gone badly or worse than they expected – a year after the UK left the EU"
"The poll comes ahead of the introduction on 1 January of full customs checks on goods being exported from the EU to the UK, which business leaders believe could deter some smaller operators – such as food exporters – from supplying UK retailers as their costs and paperwork increase. These will be followed by more checks on food imports from mid-summer."
And a sad change to social interaction...
"Post-Brexit changes to Britain’s immigration rules have triggered an unprecedented collapse in bookings for school trips from the continent, organisers say, with countries such as Ireland and the Netherlands now more popular than the UK."
And it's going to get worse, and never better than before 2016 if this madness continues!
But hey the rabid brexiteers want to turn the UK into a racist/xenophobic isolationalist outcast third world country...
Luckily enough of them will be dead when the inevitable reverse referendum arrives

It's having a greater effect than anyone realised. Friends of ours' child has to get his own passport now. He was on his parent's passport before, but of course a child can't travel on their parent's passport without their parent. That is affecting kids both ways.
Even worse scenario is when the child is born in UK or an EU a country, but their parents weren't and they are on their parent's 'third country' passport. They can't get their own in UK or the EU country until they're 16, and they can't get their own from their parent's country of origin because they weren't born there. And they can't travel on their own on their parent's passport. So they're bu99ered, they can't travel or get a visa without a passport, until they're 16. Catch 22.
There's going to be many a disappointed child can't join their mates on a school trip.
So 42% of the 52% now agree with the 48%
Well there were plenty of warnings - they were called project fear. Lots of similar around. Even Brexit has a nice ring to it doesn't it.They will still want to sell us their BMW's was brilliant. Of course they will but.............. And what about Citroen/ Peugeot etc. Nissan's instead or Chinese kit cars put together here instead maybe. Loads of other stuff too. Forgot some Toyota.
I tried to buy something from CZ recently. The retailer wanted 40euro to fill in customs forms, DHL do that for him seems they are cheapest for this. Not clear who's VAT I was paying either. I do know that below the limit where BorderForce collect it the EU people have to charge VAT - who's pass.
Hague has said Brexit will take some time to have an effect! He wasn't at all clear what he meant. I suspect it's attractive to importers as they can avoid EU import taxes on goods from some countries Good for us or more profit? I wonder. Or even more shoddier stuff.
