Brexit mega thread part 11: is fucktastrophy a word?

[mirages08]

Part 11 of this mega thread

Couldn't see a new one?

Hope you don't mind a newbie starting it!

We're just counting down until another referendum now aren't we?

We can't go on like this.

This country is broken

I'm too tired to go into detail about the massive safeguarding and negligence issues from a local council and nhs this week, but God help those who have no one to advocate for them

Suffice it to say I've made 2 formal complaints and a FOI request this week alone

I'll say it again for the hard of thinking - immigration is BY EVERY MEASURABLE METRIC good for societies and necessary for economic growth, especially with an ageing population

Why aren't the brexshitters on their bikes delivering social care, picking fruit and veg and as HCPs in hospitals?

It's what they voted for, after all

I spend far too much time in A&E departments, sadly, and I can tell you that 95% of adult attendees are 75+

How is this tenable? Who is paying the taxes to keep the nhs going? Who is going to look after them at home? Or in a nursing home?

We are fucked, my friends

Bon chance

Can't really argue ...

I can’t read the full article, but 😲 at the headline from The Telegraph

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2023/08/17/under-50-time-jump-ship-leave-britain/

A few weeks ago they were advising people with second homes in the EU how to get around the visa rules.

Sunny uplands are in the EU.

Yes, the Telegraph, who did as much as anybody to put us in this situation now telling us to leave the country that they helped create.

Yet their readers won't put 2 and 2 together...

I did roll my eyes at the 1st sentence - the ‘UK’ seems incapable of solving the problem!

not the UK … the current Tory Government!

Of course the Tories are now desperately going to try to rewrite history. Good job Corbyn is no longer in charge of the Labour party or they would write Johnson and Gove out of the script and blame him for the entire Leave campaign. BREXIT is a TORY MESS, don't forget.

As for the Telegraph - what is is doing encouraging young people to be economic migrants? Don't they know that when such people try to get to this country they are the absolute scourge of the earth and as far as some in the Tory party are concerned should "Fuck of back to France."

I am starting to consider voting Tory next time. May as well get the real thing rather than a watered down Labour knock off.

Ay least you know where you are with the Tories (I wouldn't be surprised if they nicked that as a slogan).

(Reaction to todays watering down of employment policies).

.

I hear you!

Omg

The catalogue of failures at the countess of Chester hospital and the Lucy letby murders are horrific TW don't read if you had a baby in nicu

Just...total disregard and zero safeguarding

Jesus :(

(Still awaiting an "urgent" cardiology appointment since end June....)

I feel rather hopeless for the future tbh

I might start buying lotto tickets!

Meanwhile, as our wonderful UK Government delays it's anual health check on Englands waters by only 6 years (until after the next election, quelle surprise), the nasty EU implements a Drinking Water Directive to improve theirs...

*annual

Craft beer boom ends as more than 100 UK firms go bust

‘It all disappeared with Brexit’

We keep on winning...

Mention Brexit: Times, Evening Standard, LBC, Mirror.

Don't mention Brexit: BBC, Guardian, Sky, Telegraph, Mail. Independent, i.

Despite some rather embarrassing pleas from Rish! and his chums, this was never going to happen in the UK. It's hard to overstate just how fucking massive ARM are.

More winning

And yet more winning.

I know this won't bother the philistine wing of the Brexshitteers, but it was one of our most profitable exports, and a great source of soft power.

As predicted. The UK government is keen (embarrassingly so) to keep any mention of visas out of such a deal. However the Indians for some reason have zero trust in Rish! and his chums. Although there is some discussion about whether leaving visas out effectively means there is no limit at all.

we don’t know anyone with shares or interests in an IT company who would benefit from lots of cheaper skilled Indian IT professionals being able to travel and work freely to the UK do we?

The UK was planning to roll out the first stage of its new border model from October, with physical checks and other requirements due to be introduced throughout next year.
But it will be pushed back again over concerns the extra bureaucracy would raise food prices for consumers and fuel inflation,

"cutting red tape and lower food prices"
