Re: This Brexit malarkey is going well

so with the news of the UK emerging from covid in the construction and manufacturing arenas very strongly will the news of foreign workers heading back home in record numbers be a hindrance or will this see a trend in re skilling the local work force be the answer or be a threat to the UK economy ?

It's an intresting debate as the impact of Covid is likely to increase unemployment, if foreign workers are heading home perhaps much needed jobs may appear for those needing it the most .

found this regarding short and long term IMF growth for the UK and the world

sometimes i wonder how to take these figures when we are still in un chartered waters with covid but still far more encouraging for employment in the UK for the next 2 years if these figures prove to be right

Not my words, but pretty apt in my opinion.

"This country is the unhappiest I’ve ever known it. It’s won nothing. It’s lost. And it knows it but it can’t admit it. So it rages. It lies. It waves its flag. It demands loyalty. It craves respect. It gets neither. It turns on itself. It breaks itself apart in its anger."

Boris Johnson endangers the fragile peace in Northern Ireland due to his narcissistic ego and lying.

Who knew that would happen?

To recap, to resolve the Withdrawal Agreement and ensure no border infrastructure between the UK and the EU in Ireland, Theresa May said there were two choices, a backstop keeping us in the Single Market and Customs Union until an alternative could be developed or checks on goods and food products between GB and Northern Ireland.

She said no UK Prime Minister could advocate the latter. The Conservative ERG rebels and Boris Johnson together with the DUP voted together to ensure the withdrawal deal failed and brought down May in the process.

Johnson as Prime Minister negotiated a withdrawal deal which included GB/NI border checks. He visited NI during the election campaign and said that there would not be any checks. The DUP supported the deal.

Johnson then negotiated the trade deal with the EU that confirmed these checks to ensure that non-compliant foodstuffs did not enter the EU via the border and goods did not evade any necessary customs tariffs or declarations. The DUP voted through the deal.

The new processes started kicking into life, including. guess what, checks between GB and NI. Shortages of many products on NI supermarket shelves because of the new bureaucracy.

The DUP cried this is not what we voted for or against. Loyalists started targeting customs infrastructure at Larne, threatening the people supposed to perform the checks. The DUP started a campaign to rip up the agreements made. People start taking to the streets. Johnson has gone to ground acting like it is nothing to do with him.

Simple really!

Imagine the hilarity if Boris Johnson gets bumped off by an enraged Unionist from a loyalist paramilitary!

Or is that only me?

Good post.

Simon Jenkins wrote a piece in today's Guardian where he argued that Johnson's Brexit lies (and the DUP complicity) can only be resolved by a government retreat to a softer Theresa May type Brexit, or by much closer economic (and then political) alignment between Northern Ireland and the Republic.

As Johnson is unlikely to admit the lies, and given his past record will ignore or bluster or bullshit around the consequences of a border in the Irish Sea, a United Ireland is getting closer. A Brexit bonus at last!
