Send everyone back to the EU and then bring them back in a panic and pay for the privilege! Up where we are I am a friend of an HR manager for a very large (national) company and she is rapidly having to do all the bureaucracy for 200 emergency temporary visas that have been allowed by government so they can try to avoid quite a big crisis. Amazing where we are post Brexit but nothing really surprising as these issues were raised loudly by a few industries and on these threads before the deal was signed. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
horsefly 4,296 Posted October 21, 2021 An NZ negotiator has been interviewed on LBC this morning and said they knew they could screw a better deal out of the UK than they might have otherwise expected BECAUSE of the desperation of the UK CAUSED BY BREXIT. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And now the government in complete desperation are having to introduce cabotage to allow foreign drivers (without visas) dropping off goods in this country a 2-week period to make unlimited numbers of delivery runs within the UK. What a chaotic, shambolic bunch of incompetent fools this government is. So much for taking back control. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yellow Fever 3,767 Posted October 21, 2021 As to the (sheep) farmers and New Zealand I'm sure Johnson can as usual spin a negative into a positive - but just for Swindon. "As part of our COP26 commitment we are going to re-wild large parts of Wales and the the northern moors of England. Instead of sheep we'll plant huge forests of trees. It will be an example to Brazil and the Amazon" and so on..... The 'land clearances' [mainly of Brexity farmers] will quietly be forgotten but perhaps they can all retrain as HGV drivers or customs officials. I hear we have shortage with all the extra paperwork. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We get 1% yet have to pay around 20% more for most things. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Herman 9,750 Posted October 21, 2021 I couldn't give a damn where the scumbag is from. He fed his customers constant lies, used his prominent position to spread misinformation and now whines when what he campaigned for has bitten him on the backside. Like Daltrey, Dickinson, Dyson etc, they can go ****emselves. 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
