Erm, Stella is brewed in the UK anyway?  https://www.walesonline.co.uk/busine...ewery-10392811
“53 jobs created at Magor brewery, home of Budweiser and Stella Artois in the UK”

Nope. I was replying to K&E with a fairly glib comment about Brexit not being universally popular. Nothing to do with Borrell.

| Quote: | | | | | Just 16,141,241 voted remain out of 46,500,001 registered voters so about 35% of voters.
I would have never made such a comparison had the reverse argument been made in this thread more than once. | | | | | Sorry. Your logic shows that 65% of registered voters did not vote out. Why is being shoved down their throat?

Regardless of small things like facts.
I think the fact that "Project Fear" should probably be renamed, retrospectively, "Project Reality-we-warned-you-about-this" is smarting just a tad.

even Rees-Mogg said, even before 1st of Jan and the recent debâcle with imports, exports (aint' seen nothing yet though ... as not fully kicked in yet)- that Remain would win hands down.

IMO. No I don't have links.

When furlough stops, more jobs are lost by the bucket load and people are homeless as they lose rent protection- farming, fishing, and most industries down the tube, from one end of spectrum to t'other (financial services too) - the **** will truly hit the fan. The Covid/Brexit combo is diabolical.
People will 'vote' one way or another- be it in the streets or in the ballot box.

just wait a couple more months for it to be seen in all its glory and be fully operative, and the above mentioned things to happen.

| | | Going to live in the UK has just got more difficult for some
Priti Patel is celebrating her new points based system.
People coming to the UK legally from now on will have to pay an application fee ranging from £610 to £1,408, an extra healthcare surcharge of £624 per year, and have a further £1,270 in the bank. They will need to be earning £25.600.
How much do fruit and veg picker, care home staff and nurses earn? What happens if any Brits have a non British spouse?

The idea is not to have to give social benefits to new arrivals, no doubt they got the idea from Switzerland  | | This user would like to thank fatmanfilms for this useful post: | |

Last time a good friend from EF had to return to UK with his non EU wife, he could not as he was unable to secure a job earning more than 18.500 before returning. So a massive hike since then.
(fortunately his non EU wife got a really good job with a big Brewery, and was able to take him back to his native UK on her wage).
