A Load of Squit 5,164 Posted May 31, 2021 As the trade deal with we completed with Switzerland in February this year was mostly a copy and paste of their deal with the EU I wondered how the current impasse between Switzerland and the EU would affect our deal. The UK Gov. web site mentions the EU and the EEA in several of the clauses. This one caught my attention. The UK-Switzerland agreement does not cover trade in services. However, we have taken steps to ensure that services trade can continue between the UK and Switzerland. If you’re a UK business providing services in Switzerland, you’ll need to follow Swiss regulations.   Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted May 31, 2021 So Swindon will blame the EU when trouble kicks off in NI, cars are burnt, windows smashed, looting etc because Boris signed a deal which put a border in the Irish Sea which he now denies in front of every DUP bully but admits it when he asks the EU to be reasonable. Being reasonable being invoking article 16? No wonder Boris is overweight, he does eat his cake. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wonder who used to make up the bulk of the workforce and why we are suddenly having issues filling these jobs when we never have had problems in the past?

I wonder who used to make up the bulk of the workforce and why we are suddenly having issues filling these jobs when we never have had problems in the past? What we need is some sort of scheme that allows workers to move here freely, particularly from countries close to us and from the former Eastern Bloc where I understand the wages are lower. It would be a great boon for agriculture, care homes & the NHS. Anyone got any ideas? Edited June 1, 2021 by BigFish 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Surfer 1,547 Posted June 2, 2021 I think we first need to force the unemployed British workers into these jobs before we add additional overseas economic parasites into the British economy. If it requires cutting or even eliminating unemployment benefits so be it, we have solved this kind of problem before, and we can do it again....... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They both told us the Europeans are taking the British jobs and Brits would be queuing up for the jobs. The farms are in an horrendous situation nobody wants to pick what they grow. Oh well as Stan would say ‘ another fine mess you’ve got us into ‘. Maybe Farage should try doing the jobs or maybe he is to comfortable on his EU pension and the expenses he ripped off the EU for which British tax payers will be paying for for years. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
