Now you're getting a little too histrionic for me, so I'll leave you there for now.

Thomas fighting his proxy battle with the Brits through the Irish again. Maybe our resident SNAT needs to understand "Leprechaun economics" before believing the face of the Irish economy as a huge tax haven that distorts its GDP figures. Have a read Tommy: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leprechaun_economicsNobody believes our GDP numbers any more, not after a 26 per cent jump in 2015, which was famously derided as "leprechaun economics". Even the CSO cautions against viewing last year's [2017] 7.8 per cent jump as a reflection of real economic activity— The Irish Times, 17 March 2018And with this extra fake GDP Irish taxpayers have to pay more into EU coffers. As an example, Ireland pays the second highest contributions per capita into the EU's Corona virus recovery fund - an economy that size shouldn't be paying more than Germany or France.  so the irish are telling lies about the state of their economy , and the uk , which of course has an economy in fine fettle ,and would never tell porkie pies about anything , should expect a diplomatic mission from dublin any minute begging for a return to the uk?
I tell you buccy , the comedians on this forum get funnier every day. To think some of you potentially have the vote .
The only thing funny Tommy McSturgeon, is watching you realise the SNP's hopes of independence have gone down the swanny and you realising this. So, you start threads on Welsh independence, and use the Irish economy as a way to bait Britain instead, without knowing what you're actually talking about. Now that's funny.  Here's a little tip: You're trying way too hard. |

The UK has more job vacancies than ever before and businesses blame Brexit
The UK now has more unfilled jobs than at any time since record-keeping began back in 2002, as a number of factors including the loss of European Union workers after Brexit is felt ever more keenly.
According to the UK Office for National Statistics (ONS), there were more than 1.1 million job vacancies in July through September of this year, with 12 of the 18 sectors monitored reaching record highs.
Following the UK’s decision to leave the EU, a survey of 2,000 employers has revealed that more and more companies are struggling to fill job vacancies as fewer EU citizens are relocating to the UK to live and work.
The Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) revealed that across all levels of skills jobs, the levels of applicants per vacancy has dramatically fallen since last summer, with the lack of applicants forcing companies to reluctantly raise the offered starting salary in an attempt to attract more people to roles.
even the torygraph gets in on the act...
The Brexit shortfall
According to a recent Indeed Hiring Lab report, the current job market in the UK is the tightest on record, with 1.1 unemployed people per open role, down from a pandemic-era high of 4.1 per role in May 2020 and an all-time high of 5.8 in 2011.
Furthermore, notes Jack Kennedy, an Indeed economist who authored the 2021 UK Labour Market review, Brexit makes it more difficult for EU workers to travel to the UK to fill open roles.

Well thats pretty dumb even for a Scotsman - we currently have record immigration. i cant help it if the tories cannot control immigration . Free of the EU , and all most other factors you used to use as scapegoats for you inability to control mass unskilled immigration into your country , with tory home secretatries giving excuse after excuse , no wonder so many tories are now turning coat and wanting back in the EU so they can go back to the good old days of blaming brussells.
You might have record tory unskilled immigration , but you also , due to brexit , have record skill shortages. Thats pretty dumb for an englishman who voted tory and brexit to come out with .

It's no good you complaining to me - I dont want record immigration (or any immigration at all for that matter) im not complaining to you. Im helping you understand nuance in the earlier post.
Now , your latest diversion aside , i see grant schapps is saying he is proud of the tories record on immigration . My breakfast once again nearly ended up all over the pc.
I tell you pacifico , you can see each day now the tories are headed for oblivion.
some of the comments are funny.

Thomas's arguments are absolute bollocks. Ireland exports 22% of its exports to Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Scotland exports 18.8% of its exports to the whole of the EU whilst 60% of its exports are to the rest of the UK. The EU has NEVER been a major market for Scottish goods and services. Scotland does not have the customer base in the EU for what Thomas wants. The UK is Scotland's big market and Scotland would suffer if it pulled out of the UK in order to be in a market it barely sells anything to.  |

and? so 78% of its goods are exported to the USA , china and the EU? Wow. Arent they doing well vinny.
Thats what you said to the irish when they left . They too at one point were a captive audience in terms of trade in the old empire. Yet as your own figures above show , since 1973 , for example , while their trade with the uk has doubled , their trade alone with the EU is five time greater than its uk trade , which used to be its main market.
Today of course , its single biggest trading partner in terms of an individual country is the USA.
Wont it be great vinny when scotland is independent like ireland?

The correct response is, SNAT separatism has genuine drawbacks for Scotland, loses customers everywhere, businesses would leave Scotland, Scotland would become a failed state, and rejoin the UK.
The better option, abolish devolution, abolished devolved legislation, turn Holyrood into a casino / nightclub and Bute House into a pub.
UK all the way.

UK all the way. eh ? by your own example of ireland , being independent of britian and in the european union is the way to go. ? isnt that what you were showing me? We could still sell , like ireland 22 % of our exports into whats left of the uk if scotland went , and sell 78 % across north america and europe?
Eu and indy all the way vincent.
