Nope. I watched the clusterfuck unfold.
I maintain still that the EU’s snap decision, made without informing Dublin, Belfast or London, is a pre-requisite to these events, and this…
They’re going to launch infringement proceedings, apparently. Watch the UK quake in its boots!
Home Office has quietly changed immigration rules today to add senior social care workers, nursing assistants, pharmacists, foreign language teachers & some dentists to the Shortage Occupation List - making it easier for foreign workers to come to the UK on a skilled worker visa.
Next to come are hand car washers, farm hands, coffee barista’s and waiters and waitresses.
Christ…
You mean we have …
… a rational immigration policy aimed at addressing key skill deficiencies?
Fucking shocking. Give me back my appointed European overlords and call me Quisling! It was much better when we were importing Eastern European graduates to be chambermaids!
So long, thanks for all the fish.
I saw a tuna fish farm in Croatia - these huge net pens in the sea. Trawlers go around hoovering up smaller fish and then pump them into the pens - it is incredible to watch - the sea boils as the tuna fight for the food
I’m putting this here. It’s presented as good news, but anyone with a long term memory will remember the Transit being built in Swaythling.
Today, Bridgend is gone, Dagenham is saved and this Turkish mega-plant isn’t trusted to build the engine. More a comment on globalisation in general than the EU, but they did help kickstart the scouring of Ford manufacturing in the UK with a generous 80m loan around the same time as the Transit move.
For clarification, was this not form the ECB as opposed to the EU?
Even better than that!
The European Investment bank!
So SNCF, who have had the begging bowl out to the UK govt to pump £500m into Eurostar, have miraculously found £600m down the back of the chaise longue to invest in Spain
Any transaction we get involved with in here has to mean the money lent as a loan with a high interest rate and we also get a whopping chunk of equity
There are times when I miss the UK.
There are other times when I’m reminded of how utterly stupid some of its citizens are.
Or…
British people that live here aren’t ex-pats and don’t really give a shit about them.
No offence to you. I know you are one. But I can’t help feeling indifference and self-interest are bigger factors than stupidity.
Costa ex Pat’s especially the luvvies around Puerto Banus were the target for my abuse having had the misfortune to meet many of them.
Well they’re stupid cunts anyway.
Who moves to Spain to spend the rest of their lives eating out of Dave’s Fish Bar and stubbornly refusing to learn the language?
You may as well stay here, get a sunbed and use your local chippy.
Fuck those guys.
Precisely my point.
It’s just hilarious that there are 500 of them who
Either
Couldn’t fill in some forms
Or
Thought they could avoid taxes etc by becoming illegals.
They can walk around Spain pretending to be banditos.
It has been done before.
Btw, I apologise for the racism in the previous video.
It features a lot of beloved English comic talent “Spanished-up”. It’s not right.
Having had a share in a holiday home on The Costa De Crime…i.e. Marbella I am grossly offended by your generalisations regarding Brits reluctance to embrace the language and culture of Southern Spain.
I can still to this day order two beers/vinos in fluent local patois. 
TWO-OH. BEER-OS. PORS FAVOR.
Something like that?
