No surprise whatsoever. What on earth did Brexiteers think was going to happen?
Still, at least we now have £350m a week for the NHS (oh wait, we don't) and a whole bunch of trade deals with others (oh wait, we don't) and a thriving economy (sigh).
Obviously Covid will be used as the fall guy from now until eternity, but it's so blindingly obvious that we've been stiffed by a bunch of nutters with some totally false sense of "Being Free Again". Free from trade, partnerships and an easy way of doing business, yes.
Sorry. Bit bitter about the whole thing.
I'd wager some wanted this to happen, it makes buying up public infrastructure and companies very cheap. The sale of ARM just after the referrendum is just one example.
Oh, and do I need to mention that the jobs aren't year-round? If you want to work all year, you probably need to be able to travel, which is going to be more difficult since brexit than it was before and the pay certainly won't be as good everywhere. In some places, you aren't even afforded the same protections under the law because you are a temporary migrant worker.
When you simply quote the amount paid per hour, you cannot get the whole story here. And that's assuming that your £30 an hour quote is a flat rate per hour: I don't know how it is there, but in many cases, farm workers get paid per piece, so it might realistically be "up to £30 per hour" instead.
I’m all for bashing brexit but let’s stick to facts here (otherwise you’re no better than they are), I’m pretty sure the UK has done trade deals.
It's really no surprise international companies are not feeling the encouragement to invest in UK operations. The Prime Minister recently lied in his speech to the Conservative party conference about inward investment levels, claiming we rank much higher than we do.
I assumed this sort of thing and worse, and thought that on balance, it was worth it.
That pretty much sums up how far UK has been hijacked by chancers.
Doing business from the uk to the rest of europe is harder and more expensive now, of course it is better to do it in ireland (geographically close and speaks english natively) or somewhere else (idk, Germany or something).
While geographically correct of course, politically and economically USA with its 50 states is the center of gravity in North America just like like EU with its 27 states is center of gravity in Europe
This is not fb people realise europe is not a country, and I bet majority know difference between eu and europe.
