Brexit Arms special - the fingers on the trigger!

[surferjet]

Well here we are, almost 9 months on from the referendum & A50 is finally set to be triggered this month.
We've had petitions, marches, tantrums & tears, from the hardcore remainers desperately trying to stop the will of the people, but they can't.

So let's get the champagne out of the cellar ready & waiting - this is the last Brexit Arms thread so let's celebrate!
🍾🇬🇧🍾🇬🇧🍾🇬🇧🍾🇬🇧🍾

The response of remainers is a very complicated mix of despair and glee.

I think I will train as a psychotherapist and try and sort their heads out, should just about be qualified to practice by the time we are out.

Better to train as a nurse, bored. Looks like there's going to be a shortage.

Most brexiters here seem to be wealthy so won't mind paying for private health care. Not so good for the JAMs though we haven't heard much from the patriots about tackling poverty and austerity since the referendum.

"The response of remainers is a very complicated mix of despair and glee.

Once you've done your training you'll figure out that that was projection on your part.

There is no glee here. It is a shit situation. But the sooner everyone wakes up to it the better.

Oh dear - 92% drop in number of EU nurses registering to work in the UK since brexit.

Demand for healthcare will increase significantly with an aging population.

UK demographics mean the numbers of people who are 70 years and over needing healthcare in the UK is set to double in the space of a very short few years
(post-war baby boomers bulge)

Add another 150,000+ British retired expats needed health services (returning from EU)

Remove 30,000 EU doctors and nurses from the NHS
(57,000 EU nationals working for the NHS)

This is a sure recipe for complete NHS collapse.

Glee? I only see glee from those who seem to be happy to enforce the impoverishment of this country, the break up of the union, and the international sidelining of this once great nation that they pretend to love.

I'm not despairing or gleeing

Some people are not good with the 'some' or 'most' words

On the march tomorrow

Woman 12345 standing up for foreign people?!!!! I do not believe this, because on Westministenders she and others enjoyed racially mocking me for my sometimes not perfect English, and also for my nationality. Maybe that is why MN make deletions.
Woman 1-5 is a FAKE, nothing caring about her for people, only ideology. Look at me, I am on march walking with people for people, what a good person. Yuck.

Svetlana, let me be the first to say that I have noticed your English to be impeccable in a number of your posts.

Your attack on Woman on the other hand is ridiculous.

Oh, Svetlana! You are such a card with your faux outrage and your multiple exclamation marks.

Some of you here have faux concern, all pretend, all phoney. theory is easier than practice (of course). you work hard for ideology not people.

How so?

Now you are telling me I must not use too many exclamation marks.

Oh dear we are going to have to train our own nurses and pay them enough to stay in the profession. ummm

yeah nursing is going to be appealing to Brits now that the Tories have scrapped bursaries. Public sector pay is also expected to fall. Welcome to Brexit Britain.

Not abolishing the training bursary would have been a start.

Those Brexit supporting Tories really do care about ordinary Brits don't they? Such a bright future.

Oh dear we are going to have to train our own nurses and pay them enough to stay in the profession
There's an ever-decreasing appetite for getting £40K in debt to train as a nurse. And have you any idea how long training takes? It appears the decimation of the NHS another one of those 'short term pain' things that Brexiteers are so keen on.

Just make sure you and your family avoid any illness or injury for the next decade or so and it'll all be fine.

And sorry to point out the bleeding obvious, but the more staff shortages there are, the more stressful the job becomes and the more experienced nurses decide to leave the profession.
Some people really do seem to find it difficult to see the bigger picture.

The one consistency from leavers here is lack of critical thinking.

Sorry to interrupt, this thread, Surfer but:

Warm and compassionate greetings Svetlana33 . Although I did note your interesting lexis and syntax, on the other thread, I would never stoop to mocking anyone's nationality.

About 'good'. 'nationality' and 'fake', interesting concepts. Wiser women than me have got no where with them, so chances are, we won't on this thread!

Hope to see you on next Saturday's march!

11am start Park Lane.

Peace!

I like exclamation marks!!!!!!

I use loads!!!!!!!

Project Fear persists I see.

Public sector enforced pay restraint will have lasted for 10 years by 2020. That's ten years of pay freezes or if you are very lucky, 1% pay increases. And this year, the public sector redundancy formula has been cut across all services, ready for the next round of redundancies. There are no plans to pay nurses more and anybody who thinks there are is living in cloud cuckoo land.

The whole idea of the Trade Union Act, which brought in more restrictions on the ability to strike to preserve your pay on 1 march 2017 - just in time for the triggering of Article 50 - no coincidence there - is to make sure that whatever happens to wages, striking to preserve your pay in a large organisation like an NHS trust will in future be extremely hard to achieve.

So unless you imagine the government suddenly turning into Mr Benevolent, or even more unlikely, Corbyn winning the next GE, you'd better get used to fewer nurses.

Sorry to introduce the wet fish of reality.
