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

[newfhouse]

If only someone had suggested that at the time....

He did before the vote but then had to deny he’d said it at all when Johnson and the headbangers saw an opportunity to have the hardest possible Brexit. The spinners have already started to say the nasty EU pushed us into the clusterfark we’re now enduring.

Whilst Brexit and Covid are big major factors, the elephant in the room here seems to be that the airlines and the airports didn't talk to each other about capacity.
Rocket science it is not....

If it means fewer planes in the sky, then we might have found a brexit benefit from my (and the environments) pov..

Something tells me, however, that all this hoo ha, doesn't mean fewer planes in the sky does it??

It just means lots more hoo ha..

It's like the car industry. I mean I do want us to build fewer cars, but...

The wine import dude is back (remember him?), to give an update on how things are going for his business.

TLDR wine is unsurprisingly getting more expensive. And there's a bonkers new tax by the sound of it.

Grant Schapps on Today, “I didn’t vote for Brexit but the country did (so it’s all your fault, not mine.)”

Feckin’ weasel.

Project Fear might have mentioned it once or twice, but what did they know?

On the other hand, I'm 56 and first started work as a Decorator for the local authority (Council) and the chap I worked with as an apprentice was probably mid fifties at the time in '82 all measuring of wallpaper was taught in imperial. We were also given standard minute values for every painting task which again was imperial, per running foot of window bar for example.

My father was an engineer and worked in 'thou's ' which we all know isn't a thousanth of a centimetre.

But there you go, I'm sure the Cycle chatters know better and of course if another little piece of 'Britishness' can be removed from the world the more you folk like it. 👍

I didn't say that I knew better but as we all know, personal experiences may vary. Nobody is trying to 'remove' pieces of Britishness, but I do wonder in whose interest it is to continuously try to convince us that they are?

I saw that version of events coming a mile off. A bit like leaving things like isolation and face-covering to 'common sense'.

If only we had a spokesperson for the West Midlands.... Levelling oops.

but if we were still within the EU they’d have quickly filled the vacancies with foreign labour.

The industry is constantly telling us that isn't lack of labour, EU or otherwise. It is lack of time to train the staff, it takes 8-10 weeks, and so it doesn't matter how many staff they have, they didn't prepare for teh training because of Covid.

So, this is not a Brexit thing, it is definitely a Covid thing.

Obviously if this doesn't suit your narrative, feel free to simply carry on saying it is Brexit.

Yea right ...nothing to do with cuts and understaffing under the Tories over the last decade.

The post from Craig was referring to the Airline and Airports (unless I have completely miss-read the thread).

I wasn't aware that the Government held the reigns in the staffing policies of the airlines and airports, aren't they mostly (or even all) private enterprises?
