How to deal with the Brexit bonuses

Wonderful.
Then why is the government banging on about not enough people working...in fact seriously considering the counterfactual idea that if you dont work, your benefits will be cut.

One of the major reasons that people are staying home is that they are too ill to work.
They are too ill because the waiting lists for support and surgery is affecting over 1 million people.

The wait is due to shortage of NHS staff and covid induced issues.
Why is there a shortage of staff?

Because they went "home" and found other jobs. Frankly the stability of the largest state employed service run by the most unstable government in history is not an attractive proposition.

More genrally YOU CANNOT GROW AN ECONOMY WITHOUT FDI AND / OR EXPORTING..

Vinny's ridiculous suggestion on no tariffs for domestic products is impossible. Other than agriculture, production in any country involves importing raw materials and manufacturing them into something else and selling at a profit.
He also never considers the value of technology. No one can claim to be the origin of ideas and data, today the most valuable items in an economy and which must be shared legally. If it isnt, it will be shared illegally.

In today's world of wealthy nations, it is imperative that there is free flow of people and goods and ideas and information under agreed and controlled conditions.

It is pointless to use GDP as any definitive proof of success without comparing it to that of other similar countries. The UK's growth has flatlined this year and its BoE interest rate (borrowing) is still higher than in the Eurozone. The government has put up corporation tax to a whopping 25%. What company is going to invest the serious sums your growth needs when they have to pay such sums, the skill sets needed are now elsewhere and the government is not only a joke but are proven liars?

The cast of the Brexit fiasco panto is proven to be a bunch of Bullingdon Club/Cambridge Analytica idiots who couldnt run a bath. All promises, shiny and new, but in reality, all lies, even after so many changes of cast, the sad results of an illegally run referendum are evident and they have run out of script.
Time to draw down the curtain.

It's also delivering the surplus populations of a number of impoverished countries, the very thing that Brexit was supposed to resolve in the form of ending freedom of movement. Only difference is that now you're getting Pakistanis and Somalis instead of Poles and twice as many of them.

Plus an Indian prime minister, an African home secretary and a Jewish minister of defence, just to mention a few.

Some sovereignty eh.

What were the promises?
Control the borders.
Cheaper food, clothes,goods and services.
A miraculous NHS.
Wonderful education.
Far less paperwork and far better trade deals.

They forgot to tell you that in the real world, shit happens. Any state worth its salt should be able to deal with any shit that happens. They are best educated and wealthy enough to cope.

And the UK was bamboozled by the leader of the Brexit idea and elected to PM when, after the finest education money could buy, he cant understand basic probability, the lifeblood of a minister, is astonishing.

And embarrassing.

I only hope that the people of the UK hold their collective disappointment to account and kick these phoney elitists into the very long grass where no one can see or hear them.
Then the country might regain some international respect.

The only thing embarrassing is two disgruntled ex-pats still whinging about Brexit. Everyone's moved on except you pair of 'citizens of nowhere'.

I am a citizen of two independent countries and if the subject doesnt interest you, it might be more logical not to reply to rhreads concerning it.

So you never heard of the Dublin Regulation?


en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dublin_Regulation

Illegal immigrants that arrive in the UK via the EU are a tiny fraction (less than 5%) of the annual total that arrive from elsewhere. Most of them legally with the blessing of HM Gov.
