Re: How will Brexit go?
~........A little extra delay to solve issues always helps. Anyhow, let me know how your friends react... :mrgreen:
predictions are not difficult, even now.
Thought that was what I wrote?
Well, if the
"unless" were replaced by an
"if"in the sentence
"I don't think other countries will leave unless the EU moves to address many of the fears and concerns........" that would be closer to home methinks. Obviously you were not going to say that the EU addressing fears and concerns would cause the leaving of others.
Not to make a meal of it though
A very Brexit region, affected by fishing quotas etc. There can be little avoiding the huge impact large numbers of arrivals have had on local services.
Hence my sarcasm at the example picked. Let's by all means NOT address the fears and worries of Joe Bloggs not being able to get his trawler running anymore, let's take some eccentric local dork with a Rolls and tons of money to exemplify how daft the Brits are. Nothing like going in search of confirmation of clichés (and bollocks to you, German TV, while we're at it).
PeteEU will always make the point that local and national Govt should have reacted and taken the taxes paid by those new arrivals to fund local services. I have no idea why it hasn't happened but those who argued Remain while in govt didn't do what was necessary to minimise the impact and we had a very angry local populace as a result.
The UK is actually no exception in this sort of thing, the main solution by lazy and irresponsible governments to
Whatever we may think of them - they are voters and they weren't taken heed of.
always having been selling the take of "claim all successes for ourselves, put the blame for all failures at Brussels' doorstep.
Same as the local low-paid jobs situation people complain about migrants taking the jobs - local Govt should have incentivised people to take up work instead of benefits. We will still have that situation after Brexit - those jobs need filling and locals still won't be taking them.
Yup, totally agree.
Divorcing oneself from an always conveniently ready scapegoat has consequences.
Voters eh, gotta love em.!
add politicos and media and shoot 'em all.:mrgreen:
P.S. I incidentally voted that
1. The EU will continue to grow but will change to address the feelings that drove Brexit.
2. The UK will still hold after all is done and dusted.
I dare not speculate over whether Brexit will be soft or hard but if it's going to be the hard version, no amount of WTO rules will give that a positive flair as compared to what went before.
