Another Brexit benefit

[i_ateallthepies]

And before Brexit we weren't part of that 1.4 billion, nr, which you conveniently omitted to mention.

[Sprotyrover]

Yes and the 1.4 billion who would love to come won’t be, it’s the gift that keeps on giving is Brexit

[normal rules]

And before Brexit we weren't part of that 1.4 billion, nr, which you conveniently omitted to mention.

Why would I state the utterly obvious?
My comment was about balance and context .
420 ish million live within the Schengen area.
Over three times that amount need a poxy piece of paper to enter it, should they wish, from 2024. For a Couple of measley quid a year.
It’s no big deal.
Unless of course you have a massive political agenda.

[SydneyRover]

As you said sprot 'the gift that keeps on giving'

You made the initial statement, ignored a question and then, when the question, which was quite easy to understand, was repeated, you obfuscated - something you often do - and made a stupid statement as to wether it was a question at all. If anyone isn’t worth engaging with it’s you!

Just for balance NNK, while you are correcting sproty, did you know that the word “ask” ends with a “k”.

Meanwhile, I see Sprotty still hasn’t answered. Maybe it’s because it was a stupid thing for him to post in the first place.

It was a rhetorical statement  I have no intention of listing the the inexhaustible list of countries across this planet inhabited by people who would rather seek a better life here or in the United States of America.

It’s not a bad thing, but certain posters on this thread seem to think this country in on its backside after leaving the EU that is simply not the case is it?
(I assume you mean created ? Thought I would point it out before you get a lecture from the Grammar Politzie!)

Well the people who make and sell things abroad say leaving the EU has made life more difficult and expensive for them. And given the government has refused to implement all the new Customs Checks it was supposed to - they clearly think there is an issue too. And it seems companies Like BMW wont invest without £millions in taxpayer support:
https://news.sky.com/story/bmw-to-make-new-electric-mini-in-oxford-after-securing-millions-in-taxpayer-funding-12958875

Then again Brexit was never about trade or support for manufacturing - it was about relaxing the rules on tax dodgers to evade more tax and unscrupulous business reducing costs by being allowed to pollute and reduce workers rights.

I agree with the government supporting companies to create jobs btw. But then again I am not a free-marketer who says everything should be left to the market.

I tend to ignore the Grammer Politizi in the hope they will ignore me. Usually works.

There’s some good points there Wilts, The War has had a disproportionate effect on quite a few EEC Countries, and it has worked in our Favour. It was disconcerting when I visited Germany in the Summer, they have really suffered due to their reliance on cheap Russian Fuel. INEOS has benefited massively from their long term investment and as a consequence so have we ! Another massive for us is the Potash mine a Whitby, they will soon be annually exporting £10 Billion of the best natural fertiliser on the planet, and the reserves are currently known to be 1 billion Tons, the Scots Nationalist need to consider that before they counter on about the English persecution!

A little off topic regarding EVs, what will become apparent over the coming years is that no matter the gains in EV technology the 'family car' will become obsolete. Buying a vehicle that seats 4-5 people and then mainly using it to for the transportation of 1 does not make any sense. The future will be smaller hubs where necessary shops and services will be provided with more and pedestrian zones will expand.

[Sprotyrover]

So it’s ok in a city but my village has no facilities what do we do ?

You start canvassing with your neighbours to your local MP (Milliband isn't it) and for him to make representations to the government to get some money for bus services. Don't leave it to someone else.

Seems some eu countries are finding ways to get round the free movement issues created by brexit. Earlier this year Spain introduced a Digital Nomad visa. Work in Spain online, enjoy tax breaks too.
