Brexit, for once some facts.
- Thread starter flecc
- Start date
The EU might be difficult about it, but Ryan Air won’t be happy about losing UK internal routes if they do.
Not sure but it is conceivable that Aer Lingus could be affected. It is majority owned by BA.
What is interesting this week is this Bombshell that has somehow hardly raised a ripple

In a bid to regain some of its vanished political momentum, the British government was publishing long-awaited plans Wednesday for a post-Brexit immigration system that will end free movement of EU citizens to the U.K.
Home Secretary Sajid Javid said the proposals — Britain's biggest immigration changes in more than 40 years — would create a "skills-based immigration system built around the talent and expertise people can bring, rather than where they come from."
At present, all EU nationals can live and work in Britain under the bloc's free-movement rules, but that will end after the U.K. leaves in March.
The government is proposing no limit on the number of well-paid, skilled immigrants who can settle in Britain, but curbs on "low-skilled" workers.
So our own brightest and best are passed over if they need training for well paid jobs as there is still FREE MOVEMENT for the best job vacancies
And not only that , it isn't just for the EU, but Worldwide.
What a collossal confidence trick that is, and it has been worked on "the people who knew what they were voting for.
They were promised
"An end to free movement" only to get it extended to the entire planet to the disadvantage of our own brightest and best youth.

Yes with a threshhold set at a salary of £30,000 for their categorisation of allowed skilled workers - so in a health care context they don't foresee getting many nurses in to plug the shortage - and definitely with that criteria don't want unqualified HCAs and domestic staff coming in from abroad to work in our hospitals.
But don't worry the Daily Mail has it all in hand > https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6502199/NHS-volunteer-army-DOUBLE-23-500-sign-Mail-campaign.html
"Due imminently, the plan will urge hospitals to recruit many more younger volunteers, particularly those with mental health problems, learning difficulties or from deprived communities.
The campaign has been backed by J K Rowling, Claudia Winkleman and Sir Cliff Richard alongside Prime Minister Theresa May and the Archbishop of Canterbury."
I wonder if any of those splendid names will be volunteering for no pay to make me a cup of tea after making my bed and wiping my arse....

I’d missed the Corbyn calling Theresa May a stupid woman incident today. He was wrong to do that. There is no conclusive proof that May is actually a woman.
You have seen the contents of the secret closet in n°10? You dirty old man...
I love it when multi-millionaire socialists start preaching their shite.
What bureaucrats? Oh the top brass...
The share of administration costs has been stable for a long time and amount to less than 6% of the EU's budget, which itself is equivalent to 1% of total EU economic output (GDP). Compared with some 55,000 EU civil servants serving some 500 million Europeans, Birmingham City Council in the UK, for example, has 60,000 employees and the Paris administration has 73 000 employees.
Many years ago I remember seeinga little black Yorkshire comedian who worked the clubs up there.
He walked on stage, looked around at the audience for a while, then said:
"Look at you, pink skin, yellow hair, blue eyes, red lips!
And you call me coloured!"
.
Who decides which terms are offensive? In this case it appears to be the British Socialogical Association (BSA). I thought they made motor bikes, but that shows just how wrong you can be.
I’ve looked at BSAs presidents over past years and all appear to be white male & females, also known as ass-holes. So it’s a case of white people getting offended on behalf of black people who probably don’t care either way.
What group are you then Tillson? Now let me guess...

It's not a British thing at all. The dislike for term started years ago in states and understandably.
Its nothing to do with PC. It's common courtesy. If a group of people don't like being referred to with a certain phrase, just don't use it. End of. What's the problem? The fact black people have been exploited for centuries only adds weight to not using term.
Is it so difficult for us to not use sexist terms like "stupid woman" and racist ones like "coloured". I accept both can be used innocently with no slur meant but why justify it..?? Its easier to just say OK.. Point accepted, we won't use those terms.. It's not that difficult Tillson.(Danidl)
And the black people I know certainly care and will say so politely when word coloured is used to describe them.And to be fair they would not see it as offensive just very naive and indicative of an uninformed white person.

NHS Providers deputy chief executive Saffron Cordery told Today: "We are deeply concerned about what is going to happen. High skills does not equal high pay.
"You have got starting salaries for nurses at £23,000 - also for paramedics, midwives. Junior doctors starting salaries at £27,000, healthcare assistants at £17,000, all coming in way below that £30,000 cap.
"It is not just health workers, it is social care as well. We have to remember where the skills lay. They lay in those staff under £30,000."
