I believe it was Gordon Brown who used the phrase "British jobs for British workers" Presumably "working" mothers already have a job! Regardless, the issue isn't about mothers, working or otherwise. The statement, that it is required at all and to some extent the "mother" reference, gives an indication of just how bad things must be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is nothing bad about British workers having the opportunity to work both more hours and having more choices where they can find work. Again, the significance of the statement eludes you.

It’s the pensioner-to-taxpayer ratio in the UK which is of most significance, and which has been eluding the Leave side since before 2016. But well, they’d had enough of experts then, and ever since and now still, right? https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-59369179 The UK is believed to have net emigration at the moment i.e. more people leaving the country than arriving. This is a situation, which you would normally expect to witness in a country in a deep recession, not one undergoing an economic revival coming out of Covid. Some deep socio-economic problems in the making there, not solvable short- or medium-term. There’s no beginning to solve these, until and unless the Brexit theocracy gets shunted aside for pragmatism. Fear not, however: Darwinism will eventually have its way, as usual. Heh, there’s no need to court East Europeans back into British social care with sponsored visas (…not that these have had any success with fruit pickers or HGV drivers), if the population of social care recipients gets sufficiently shrunk down out of food, fuel and care poverty, with the occasional helping of herd immunity 😏 Edited November 22, 2021 by L00b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always best to buy from British suppliers if possible. Rules out a large amount of goods bought in the UK then. https://www.ons.gov.uk/economy/nationalaccounts/balanceofpayments/bulletins/uktrade/june2021 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

altus Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 17 minutes ago, West 77 said: The pandemic is most likely to be the main why there has been a collapse in schools trips to the UK post Brexit. No, it hasn't stopped them going to other EU countries as an alternative. It's the new UK passport rules. EU children can no longer travel on group passports and if there are any non-EU students have to get individual visas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
