These incidents are going to become increasingly common, and very funny! , A poll conducted last April by trade magazine Farmers Weekly concluded that 58% of farmers wanted out of the EU, and from today's Times, we now have farmers fretting about who is going to harvest their spring crops! With the £ so low and the message getting through that foreigners are no longer welcome in the way they once were the number of crop pickers from EE has plumeted, not to worry though farmers are calling for tens of thousands of NON EU citizens to be bussed in! No wonder David Davis wants mass immigration to continue! |

What a load of guff. The points you made was that 1 Brexit voters had voted for their own poor care 2 then you tacked on a non point about foreign nationals. Now you realise you have nothing to say you change the subject into another non point about minimum wage. The problem is not about paying people more. It is about not having the money to pay enough people. You may not have noticed that we gave not left the EU yet The brexit and foreigner shite was just you rambling . Even when you have nothing to say, you still insist on saying it. |

well, the care system is filled with foreigners. the question is whether they are here to stay or here to scrape and send money home where it was once worth rather a lot. The Brexit business has made it less worth while coming here from an eastern European hovel to "do a Saudi" on us. The question is also whether, if the various foreigners now here, piss off, any of our home grown pool of low skilled workers would take those jobs. BUT the real problem as you have already identified is that the recent hikes in NMW, "living" wage and NI risesin the pipe already mean people like Lloyd's TSB are trying to contact people to set themselves up as "gg economy" jokevsrlf employed, as the money they want to pay their call centre staff no longer legally meets all the cost of having them as employees. And the meagre funds for care workers mean even less of them can be funded and the extra costs of employment met.... |

Oh dear! Another recap, and yes I was implying the elderly may well have voted against their own interests. Elderly voting out > carers often foreign > foreigners leave > Pensioners wiping own arses! |

Exactly! Even paying above minimum wage can't get these private firms the staff they need. The free market isn't working is it folks? |

"We can't operate in isolation". So says a new lobby group consisting of the National Farmers Union, The Food Supply Chain and the British Retail Consortium! These newly converted remoaners are saying the government must retain free access to the single market as the alternatives are going to be dire for the industries these groups represent, stop moaning, don't you realise we'll just muddle through like a bunch of fucking amateur's?

Can you imagine the horror of taking your family to Switzerland..See you Jimmy..whilst you..or someone else gives you a cocktail of drugs..and finally puts a plastic bag over your face? It's not a new thing..in the 60's the doctors used to overdose terminally ill patient with Morphine..Babies who were considered ''non viable'' were put in a side ward..and left to dream themselves to death...

Then you must face your inner fears..everyone gets old..sometimes you can't run up hills anymore... I think this must be something to do with your massive ego.. I know a lot of people who are fat on mobility scooters..some of them are amazing..They get fat usually because they have arthritis..or need knee replacements..and cannot exercise..or walk.. So..according to you..once you can't walk..or are fat..it's a one way ticket to the knackers yard? |

The UK economy was in a mess before we joined the Market, that's one of the reasons why we joined. Outers apparently believe that those with the real wealth and power in the country will behave differently this time when we leave the EU. Maybe OUTers are the "sad fucks"

IMO that is short term thinking, the strength of the EU, if it survives, is its potential for the future. Let me remind you that before the international meltdown the EURO was beginning to challenge the 'almighty dollar' on the world stage. |

Well in 2015 we were ~10% higher ($41188 v $38595) so when you say 'outstrip' are you are telling us that gap will grow? I'd have thought a comparison with a basket of the comparable EU economies would be the better test |

Hmm.... perhaps Steve, perhaps. Although, if I was being arch, I might suggest that over the next couple-or-three years, we may see the "European economies" BECOME the basket(s) ! Well, that's putting it a trifle strongly, but you get my drift. Edited by RoofGardener, Mar 26 2017, 05:41 PM.

So if we were in a bad state before we joined, are you saying that we are in a better state for having joined? 17.4 million do not think so.....but let's not split hairs eh? In your esteemed considered opinion as a "psychoanalyst" would you say that 17.4 million people in the UK need counselling and are non compos mentis. eat shit, 50 million flies can't be wrong.

Thing is, back in 1972, we joined a Common Market. What we are in at the moment - and what we have voted to leave - is a nascent Political Union, and one that seems to be putting politics above the economic well-being of its 'citizens'. So the "now and then" comparison is not really helpful ? |

It's not if we were in a bad state before we joined, we were in a bad state!We'd been banging on the door for more than a decade! The sick man of Europe in fact, not that you could even comprehend that of course given your closed mind, and are we in a better state because of membership? A definite yes, after we totally fucked up our domestic manufacturing and auto industries EU firms (and others) piled in and gave a demonstration of how it should be done. And as for the 17.4 million many will be as thick as shit and unaware of any of the above, mainly it has to be said because they can't abide funny accents of brown faces which tends to cloud judgement and critical thinking. |

3rd recap...you imply that foreigners will leave after Brexit ,which only exists in the wet dreams of bitter remainers. There is no reason to believe this. Also you are the one who bangs on about Brexit meaning we will change white skinned migrants to brown skinned ones. You don't seem to understand your own posts. |
