Brexit and the Bluebirds

[Lither_1927]

I guess that depends what your point is or if you even have one.

From my perspective, it’d be interesting to know which foreign players City and other clubs would have been unable to sign had the Brexit rules been in place in the past. For instance, would Leicester have been able to sign Riyad Mahrez? Would Coventry have been able to sign Aron Gunnarsson? I’ve no idea, but it seems unlikely.

That's it cancel Brexit. Signing Riyad Mahrez for Leicester is far more important.

More important than... what, in your eyes? What's Brexit achieved for our nation in the 6 years since the vote? What positives have outweighed the negatives?

More power to the workers and unions, a few years ago it would have been shut your mouth or we'll get some Poles/Bosnians/whatever to do your job for less, now it's ok we can look at that.

No I don't really care?

Lots of times why?

The UK has lots of job vacancies and Mick Lynch is now on the TV, UK truck drivers are happy and earning more money, what’s your point?

The Tories are planning to strip us of many of our human and workers rights. Those rights prevented businesses from doing what you say they used to do.

Is that because of Brexit or has the cost of living rises pushed people over the brink?
The majority of people striking are in jobs that can't be filled by unskilled, eastern European labour. Medical staff, train drivers and track maintenance crews, barristers, teachers, telecommunication engineers, tube and bus drivers, airline cabin crews, etc

Partly probably, but it's generally supply and demand problems, it's taking employers longer to fill all positions, skilled and unskilled as they have less choice now, the power is shifting away from employers back towards employees. Wages will have to go up in this stuation, although of course thats not going to help with inflation.
Thats why the BOE have increased interest rates to make it more expensive for employers/business to borrow, so more difficult for them to increase wages, it's going to be a strange year!

It's doing wonders for inflation.

It's doing wonders for inflation.

It takes mere seconds to work out the current inflation rates, which for June 2022 are:

European Union: 9.6%
United Kingdon: 9.4%

Exactly global supply issues and fuel energy prices are the driver not Brexit so far, although demand for good staff in the UK could be a problem in the future?

The big three EU states:
France 6.1%
Germany: 7.5%
Italy: 7.9%

and then there's the UK: 9.4%

Where do you hire your cherry picker from mate?

Inflation is nothing to do with a countries size. You need to compare like with like. The debate here seems to be that Brexit has caused inflation (it hasn't) and so we should compare the UK with the EU. Inflation is currently higher in the EU..

You compare the biggest 3 for some reason. Why don't we compare the UK with the biggest 7 EU countries?

Poland - 15.5%
Romania - 15.05%
Spain 10.8%
Netherlands - 10.3%
UK - 9.4%
Italy - 7.9%
Germany - 7.5%
France - 6.1%

If you move the goalposts, you get a different result. And next month it will change again. The fact is inflation is not being caused by Brexit, it's high everywhere and is slightly higher in the EU at the moment. The causes lie elsewhere.

FWIW, comparing the UK with the G20 is perhaps the most useful way to analyse anything. G7 is a very small and selective group.
