To ask if any brexiters are happy about the 97% fall in EE and the shortage of nurses and people to pick vegetables?

[brexitstolemyfuture]

JOB on LBC right now said that stat, do any brexiters see that as good news?

Farmers warning that crops may just rot in feilds and people in hospital not having proper care.

Brexit the gift that never stops giving

I heard that the sky is going to cave in and we'll all be forced to eat rats :'(

No it doesn't when it has it's own sodden topic.

Chicken Little lives!

I assumed that less European immigration would mean more Commonwealth immigrants? (I'm a remainer btw)

I'm a staunch remainer and see no point in threads like this.

Well no one really uses that board like 99% of the useless boards here you could just not reply if you don't like the topic.

Buisness on mass moving to Dublin and Frankfurt, the affects have not even started really.

Oh christ

YABU and need to post in the right topic. No-one uses it because the arguments just become circular and have been done to death.

It is concerning.

One of the great dangers here (and there are quite a few others) is that this will play out in a long, dirge-like slide. No easy-to-point-at moment of "this is when it bit".

This allows us to carry on with negotiations without obvious recognition that something is terribly amiss.

I'm a staunch remainer too but this is nonsense.

People who work in London generally want to be in London. Some functions will move to EU cities but given how most office workers can or could work remotely these days, it will not be necessary for the majority of people in those functions to move, maybe just a few supervisory jobs to meet regulatory requirements.

Anyway with the government we've (not) got, who's saying Brexit is even going to happen? Yes we've started the negotiations but I don't think the government has a clue what it wants...

It'll go to New York. I'm convinced of this. In financial services, London offices will be outposts.

Yes - but because it's an international centre. Because it's where all th e jobs are. As my older, international neighbour points out, people forget what a backwater London was in the 1970s. It can go back there.

The sky is coming down the u.k will become a third world country with starving people everywhere, there will be a world war 3 u.k will be wiped out and those who are left will turn it into a lawless irradiated wasteland. The people will look back and it will all go back to the decision to leave the EU the beginning of the end of the world and our future generations will be asking why did our ancestors end the world ? .....

No - but if the currency continues to devalue as the UK's economic prospects sour, then it is quite possible that our kids will all be desperate to get jobs as au pairs and builders in Germany as the money they make is worth more than a job here. Why do you think all the Poles and Romanians wanted to come over here? It's what happens when a country's economic prospects and currency devalues relative to that of its neighbours.

Yeah

I'm imagining some people who post on here interrogating people at parties on how they voted then wailing and chest beating before flinging drinks in their faces.

Can you elicit a bit more what was said. A 97% fall in all EE migration or just nurses/fruit pickers? Can you post a link to the report/evidence please?

Just brush Brexit under the carpet. That'll fix it.

We have thousands of tedious parking threads on aibu but nobody complains about that. Brexit on the other hand.. Elephant in the room.

Strange how the drop with nurses came at the same time as the language tests came in, the majority of foreign nurses I have come across have been from outside Europe

Why did you assume that crazed? There were already mechanisms allowing some CW citizens to come, but clearly they weren't sufficient to fill all posts, and there's been no change in immigration rules to allow more CW citizens in.

As farmers this is a major concern although we are in NI so have a few local workers but the majority are EU. Our main places we supply veg to have workforce that are around 95% EU which is a worry as if they close up we have no market so all crop already in would be lost. However in places like Lincolnshire where almost all the workers are EU and the farms are on a huge scale it would be impossible to get the work done, there has been some talk that if EU workers were to leave Chinese workers may come in but at the moment this is not certain

I think that lots of financial service workers would happily live in the US or other European cities. There are plenty of cities with lower cost of living than London (not to mention no shortage of people who are multilingual and would cope fine with English being the business language) and ambitious people from the U.K. will have no problem being expats anyway.

JOB hates Brexit.

I wasn't eligible to vote, but my attitude to this goes from "Oh shit, hope the government comes to its collective senses and acknowledges the contribution of immigrants like this" to "What were they expecting, the arrogant cuntweasels?" (And back again.)

Good we might get some far better trained nurses from the US and Canada come to work in the NHS then. They are substandard in this country.

No jobs for Brits then? Thought that was point of Brexit. Tories also cut bursaries for trainee nurses.

Why would they come here china? What are we offering that they can't get in the US or Canada?
