Oh no!! Brexit not going quite as well as hoped

[mudsticks]

Well who'd have thunk it??

But will enough of those essential workers even want to come back, and work here.??

Having been told repeatedly how unwelcome they were.??

Immigration U turn imminant ??

But will it be enough.?

Or too little too late?

And if we're letting in lorry drivers, surely harvest, and factory workers will be next ??

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for all those benefits to surface , the suspense is killing me .

Arguments on social media: Guardian says it's brexit, angry responses say the Guardian is a left-wing rag with an agenda. Financial Times says it's brexit, angry responses say the Guardian is a left-wing rag with an agenda.

I read Brexit will mean the cancellation of Christmas.
Finally: something positive from the steaming clusterf*ck.

It’s all the fault of the EU.

It's interesting how all you Europhiles are happy to see the UK snaffle all the drivers from Poland and the East, when Poland has a shortage of approximately 124,000, Germany similarly has a shortage of around 45-65,00 drivers. So the UK should be prioritised over their home country.

Maybe you are all just about yourselves and not the greater good of the EU after all?

If they add lorry drivers to the shortage occupation lists, or somehow roll back on freedom of movement, then they've as good as admitted that brexit has screwed the haulage sector. I'd be very surprised if they will ever admit to that though. But I think they are crapping themselves now - it's one thing not being able to buy your favourite flavour crisps, but if people can't put petrol in their car, or there's talk of christmas being cancelled.. oh dear. Even the likes of shep might notice something's up

I supported remain because it is good for the UK, it's people, and by extension me, not because it's good for Poles or Romanians etc. (although happily it benefits them too).

We didn't 'snaffle' anyone , people move all over the E.U. for work and some of them used to come here until they were repeated told they weren't welcome by the Lies For Billionaires Club.

I don’t think there are any plans to round them up in the style of The Child Catcher.

They came over here to work, and the side effect was to lower wages. Which now leaves us here.

But do you think they should return to the UK if it leaves their home country even further up the swanny?

The EU was brilliant and I regret everything

Editing quotes is so much fun .....

I am a complete twat .....

Oh yes! I didn't even know you could do that in here, is the software different in here?

The limits are off so it's up to us not to selectively or wildly edit each others posts.
