**** it, Ive had enough. If you want to make an argument, particularly on the internet you need some way of proving what you are saying is correct. There are called sources or citations and it doesnt matter how correct you actually are, without providing this type of evidence people will disregard what you are saying.
With that in mind ..........
Quite aside from the page title https://www.investmentmonitor.ai/man...very-confusion says manufacturing overall is down, costs are up, the innovation fund is gone and there is a chronic labour shortage. This is all Brexit.
The report I cited above says 200,000 EU workers have left manufacturing, this one says 40,000 have left catering: https://www.thecaterer.com/news/sign...ty-2021-fourth. Pandemic may have contributed but they arent coming back, mainly because they cant.I could go and find some reports saying Eastern European labour has declined since brexit... or is that the ukrane war?
Because rather than being the feelings of some bloke on SXOC, these are trade publications, both of which quote their own sources which themselves are respected polling or market research companies.I'm sure if you looked the results will be biased to what you believe. As such why should they be treated any better than an opinion?
Those were polls, not facts. Theres a massive difference, if I need to explain ...........Remember right up until the last vote was counted every statistic said remain was wiping the floor with leave voters - acurate wasn't it?
They also predicted a pretty close result with non predicted more than 5% either way, believe it or not I can prove that too: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opinio...%20would%20win.
She was a 96 year old woman who had recently cancelled various events due to failing health, its hardly a surprise.Just 2 days ago the Queen was comfortable in Balmoral, 10secs later they reported she was dead.
In that case I reiterate that you shouldnt be allowed to vote. Theres untold amounts of accurate, unbiased information out there but you wont consider *any* of it when making a decision that could affect the future of your family, friends and country? Thats so Daily Mail it actually hurts.Instead of being fed by someone else I prefer to go with what I'm actually experiencing, not what I'm being told I'm experiencing.
And as Pi said, as well as ignoring actual facts youre ignoring what we are posting too. For the record, once again:When you say how has brexit directly been the cause of a benefit, I pose the same question right back, how has brexit directly been a negative to you how has it personally made your life worse in a way hhat has not also been contributed by pandemic or war aswell.
off the top of my head you have freedom to work and live in 28 other countries, free medical care, welfare, pensions in each. You have the ECHR, you have vastly better trade opportunities and a much bigger presence when it comes to negotiation on a global scale and better financial integration for tax, FX, share trading etc.
Security against mad Russians and terrorists would undoubtedly be better, far more opportunities for classroom and cultural education particularly in sciences. Protection against crazy right wing governments that deport refugees to Rwanda, pump shit into the rivers and remove your right to protest among other things.
In addition it now costs considerably more to buy/sell/ship anything to or from the EU, food standards and availability have reduced here, opportunities for students are non existent, bands cant tour (and EU bands cant tour here), every single financial metric is down, GBP is weaker against EUR, theres unrest in NI again, much better chance of devolution for Scotland and we have at least 6 legal cases pending against UK for breaking international law, if we invoke Article 16 we are pretty much guaranteed NI devolves following a trade war with the EU.
Me personally? I cant reclaim EU VAT, my UK workforce cant work in EU and vice versa, Ive had to set up payrolls in Germany, Sweden, Ireland and Belgium, Id guess that 70 of my guys used to pay tax and NI in UK, its now about 10percent. There are shortages of all sorts of workers, from composite technicians to upholsterers and everything costs more as we need to take advice, even though sometimes the rules havent been written yet.
I cant take my dogs on holiday, Im paying more for everything from travel insurance to phone calls .......... and Im a cash rich company in an industry that hasnt been affected that badly.
