Car Boot 10 #1346 Posted November 17, 2020 The Leave vote was, in reality, a revolt against the rich. We took on the might of the global capitalist establishment, ducking and diving about with all sorts being flung at us. We didn't do it because we wanted the status quo. We wanted change. We knew it wouldn't be easy. We knew it would be worth it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

You're welcome to join in or you can just stay where you are & not contribute to making a success of your country. You don't say! U.K. companies are turning to cheaper overseas labor to complete their post-Brexit customs paperwork, creating jobs in countries such as Romania and India due to a shortage of trained staff in Britain.
