We have a bit of an issue with our council, loads of corruption, dodgy dealings not to mention their scare mongering. Nissan was perfect for the, to push their sound bites and threats. Luckily it’s all proved false. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DamperMan Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 Correction brown is quite a wide spectrum… this is more like 50 shades of earwax brown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maurici Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 I dont really think is a topic to laught about... All the brexit could not happen in a worst moment. While it has not been as terrible as I was expecting for myself, and I dont give a flying fxxx if you want to sink your country as long as my job is left alone... i will not stay here forever... but a lot of industries are struggling A LOT to fullfill the positions that have been left vacant by europeans no longer intersted in working here. A lot of lies were said in both sides but the reality is: A lot of NHS staff left leaving the NHS weaker than ever then pandemic hit. Then uk government had to find qualified healthcare staff back in europe... opening borders again for qualified healthcare professionals, having to pay sometimes twice the rates because guess what... most of them were confortably employed in their home country of the 3rd world due the pandemic. Result for the "cheap" europeans that left... pretty pitty for uk government that has spent much more in the pandemic due that. Im struggling to see the benefits of brexit here. Hospitality- My partner manages a 500 people restaurant with about 150 permanent staff. Half of them were foreigners.Guess what. Not enough cheap foreigners have stayed in the country to cover the cheap positions and no brits want to work in thise jobs- the hotel had to shut half of its capacity because there is not enough staff... so the two restaurants and extra facilities that were build to be able to keep the capacity despite the restrictions remain closed. The company is severely struggling to find workforce and making almost impossible to break even now that the restrictions are being lifted and the objectives were huge gains to try to make up the pandemic numbers. This is a countrywide situation. That will eventually lead to a reduction of the customer service standarts but paying twice the original cost for said service. Im struggling to see the benefits of brexit here. Engineering... I dont really know where to start? But... we are really struggling to fill the few positions we have open as our company has the policy of "no sponsorship to be given". Without qualified engineers will be difficult to "make britain great again" if they have to cherry pick the people and pay them stupid money... still struggling to see the benefits of brexit here. Small bussines exports- im sending more kit car parts to spain than ever having to do shady shippings as many companies refuse to send to europe. Way too difficult? Unreliable, goods are held in customs way too often generating huge loses... Even caterham is being affected, let alone smaller specialised companies. A whole market lost. Still struggling to see the bemefits of brexit here.... Im pretty sure there is two sides of the coin as in everything, and some of the above, eventually will get back to some sort of normal, but whoever is fool enough to say "is all good, is the best we could do" i really consider that has a massive problem of general understanding of how the real world works a bit further away than their driveaway... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve (sdh2903) Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 Genuine question. Has anyone in their day to day life either personally or professionally seen any benefits yet? Probably hard to tell so soon and with the pandemic. But personally I've only seen downsides, some pretty significant. The big boys like nissan mentioned in the earlier post will always do alright as they are big enough and there will no doubt be a significant incentive from the government to invest here. Please don't include the vaccine rollout as we could/would have gone the same way even if we were still a member. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
