Are you learning about Customs & Excise procedures and forms, then?  Because those, and the required skillset to practice them, are direct consequences of your vote 4 years ago, and they are absolutely required to make Brexit a success for the UK...  ...yet right now, UK businesses are hiring foreigners to do that overseas for them, because there aren't enough Brits with the right skills.  <sigh>  40-odd days to go, lads. At this stage, perhaps a bit less of the ideological chest-beating, and a bit more of the practicals? I mean, you know...if you like to eat. Sometimes. Edited November 18, 2020 by L00b Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

"The country was perfectly successful as it was"?  Tell that to the millions of poorly paid workers and the underclass failed by our EU membership. No EU privilege for them.  Having to visit food banks to survive. No chance of affordable, decent social housing. Competing for jobs with an EU underclass.  Your statement reeks of an out of touch affluent middle-class mindset that believes everybody enjoys the same privilege as yourself.  The referendum result revealed that many Remainers simply didn't have a clue about the real conditions of life for many of their fellow citizens.  And many still don't.
