February 24, 20223 yr I’m no economist but the prices in the ROI are way more inflated than in the north for example a bootle of lucozade in the north is £1.29 in the south it’s like €2. The ROI always has been more expensive though as they import a lot from the UK mainland. My dad was Irish so we went every other year in the 60's and 70's and was always expensive for groceries, petrol, clothes etc.
March 5, 20223 yr Unf***inbelievable. I just hsd Fascist Frog Face pop up on youtube, screaming and crying about everything going up in price!!! YOU f***ING CAUSED THAT, YOU FASCIST PRICK!!!! God it is so AWKWARD and charisma-less. How THAT managed to fool large swathes of the British public, I do not know. Makes me SICK.
March 6, 20223 yr How THAT managed to fool large swathes of the British public, I do not know. Makes me SICK. You have met the British public, right?
March 26, 20223 yr https://twitter.com/RussInCheshire/status/1...641982763556864 Now I don't want to hear another word about the UK's dire economy being entirely due to Covid and rising oil and gas prices. It's Brexit. Figures don't lie even if politicians do. AS all we gloom-mongering naysayers said at the time, we would be worse off and we are. The USA has no intention of any gleaming, shiny, money-making trade deal, along with most of the world to date. Quick word to everyone who fell for the lies: "Ever been had?" Meanwhile due to acute staffing shortages and massively fast staffing turnover the care sector, and local government, are just falling apart. I know because I'm on the receiving end of both. Had to try and change and clean my bed-ridden advanced alzheimers mother on my own yesterday morning again (this is not easy for one person, and extra stressful for my mother) because there are not enough staff. This was not a problem before Brexit. So a quick f*** off to anyone who tries to deny my reality. That is all.

The current problems in the U.K. are resembling many other countries at the current time. Rising prices and inflation are affecting many other countries. You cannot blame it all on Brexit but that may be a factor to some degree in this country but no solely. Edited March 27, 20223 yr by slowdown73
March 27, 20223 yr Meanwhile due to acute staffing shortages and massively fast staffing turnover the care sector, and local government, are just falling apart.

This was not a problem before Brexit. So a quick f*** off to anyone who tries to deny my reality. Why did she have no carer on Friday morning John? Have you found out yet? May not just be shortages but she could have had an emergency like arriving at the previous patient to find someone collapsed or dead. I'm not claiming to know anywhere near as much as you about this subject but my mum had carers for two years. Once when I was there the morning carer didn't come. She'd got to the lady before, let herself in and she was dead in bed. :( So she'd to contact her boss and lady's daughter. They waited for police and a Dr. who said she had to as she was the one who found her. We couldn't really complain when it was out of her hands. As the above poster said, it's not just Brexit and it's very unfair on us Brexiteers to say it is.
March 27, 20223 yr The current problems in the U.K. are resembling many other countries at the current time. Rising prices and inflation are affecting many other countries. You cannot blame it all on Brexit but that may be a factor to some degree in this country but no solely. We can compare UK inflation with other similar countries, and we come off much worse in terms of economy recovery (which the graph was about, and why that is more Brexit specifically than Covid or Oil prices) and we have a unique employment problem because we have stopped immigration and many service sectors, especially the care sector, are in difficulty along with anyone needing them. Nurses entering the country are reportedly on temporary NHS contracts that state they can't leave without huge fines circa 14,000 pounds, neither can they change jobs. So, family crisis at home = you get f***ed till your contract expires or end up working for nothing. Who on Earth would want to come to the UK - which is what the Tories have tried to do. Make the UK unattractive to foreigners. They have massively succeeded, even Tory-supporting Russian oligarchs are having second thoughts....

Make the UK unattractive to foreigners. They have massively succeeded, even Tory-supporting Russian oligarchs are having second thoughts.... The graph you are referring to is only one forecast though. Did you know Spain’s inflation rate hit 9.8% in March? Germanys price growth has also hit 7.6%. Yes, the U.K. economy isn’t looking great and Brexit hasn’t helped but as previously mentioned, many other countries particularly within the EU are experiencing similar issues to the U.K. market. This suggests the problems are not being solely caused by Brexit, but this will play a role to some degree in the UKs problems if companies are experiencing multiple trade barriers caused by leaving the EU. Edited March 30, 20223 yr by slowdown73
March 30, 20223 yr Germanys is caused by over exposure to Russian fossil fuels. What’s the UKs non-Brexit excuse?

As the above poster said, it's not just Brexit and it's very unfair on us Brexiteers to say it is. No it's not due to unforseen circumstances (they had one member of staff commit suicide last week, which led to others leaving but this has been going on for a while) it's due to a lack of staff due to staff leaving. This has been going on for 2 years now, the turnover is high, the pay is low, the cost to customers is high (well over half goes to the company, not the workers), they don't give travel time in between calls, and Care organisations are all competing for the same small pool of workers willing to do the job (mainly British married women). Where they might have been able to bring in EU workers who fancied coming over here for a while, now there are none. They've all gone. Nobody wants to come to a place that makes you feel unwelcome and puts restrictions on you before you even get here. So British workers dont want to do work that is messy and needs compassion, and I'm constantly having to run through mum's needs to new people, some who don't have experience. I co-help because mum needs 2 people involved to reduce her stress levels while she is cleaned up, and I'm very understanding towards the workers and their situations, I dont get annoyed when they are late (yesterday an hour and half, due to rota changes they don;t tell me about), it's not the staff's fault they are expected to transport magically from one side of Poole to the other by snapping their fingers, so I let them go early, always. And I can't try other firms because I still don't have control over mum's finances, 15 months since we paid for Court Of Protection orders. Honestly everyone is under-staffed and over-worked and that now needs recognising as a problem and something needs doing about it, but the government aren't listening. "Pay more" they say as if that will magically fix it. It won't. Speaking as a customer and also a worker in local government, things are way worse than they were 5 years ago and it's not Covid that has caused it, and it's not inflation. It's a lack of staff and government cutbacks. I'm not looking to "blame" anyone, but that's my day to day reality and I don't want to hear excuses about something that was avoidable if Brexit had been done properly. I'm not the only one by the way, my friied is also full-time carer for his mum who has alzheimers, in the Wirral, and it's been 4 months since she went in hospital with infections, came out, and had her care cover taken away, and is still waiting for a replacement cover from the Council, despite his own health problems. His mum has no money so she can't pay for private care like my mum does. My mum has money because we have never been able to access her savings, so I pay for everything else, other than shopping and her carers. So I need to keep working.
April 7, 20223 yr The band White Lies are currently in Paris for tonight's show. Unfortunately, their equipment isn't; it's stuck in a queue in Kent despite having been sent 36 hours ahead of the band. The same thing happened to Bastille last week.
April 8, 20223 yr Yep Brexit and the P&O Ferries debacle together seem to have led to big queues :( https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-61041928
April 9, 20223 yr Polish truckers are posting pics and videos from their half empty ferries. It’s nothing to do with P&O and entirely to do with Brexit. The gov will drag on the P&O debacle because they can hide behind it and blame it and thick c**ts will believe it
April 20, 20223 yr Although unpleasant Brexit trolls are well known on social media and not a surprise, this report from an allegedly mid market newspaper seems like it was written by an immature 6 year old. Complete with a rather sinister subtext of "If you don't like it here leave". Plus no serious attempt to address the complaints about Brexit made, because erm maybe it's a completely destructive project with no redeeming features. https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/uknews/get-o...30a70a7227c7862
April 20, 20223 yr It’s a bit of a stretch to call the express a newspaper. Never mind „mid market“. It’s not even fit to pick up dogshit That „article“ is a joke, just like the people it quoted. You have to be seriously deluded to think some of these things
April 20, 20223 yr Jack Mogg is now claiming that measures to ease the problems at British ports wouldn't be possible if we were still in the EU. He chose to overlook the fact that they wouldn't be necessary if we were still in the EU.
April 20, 20223 yr I really wish our media would actually point this out and ask these questions and point blank refuse to carry their blatant lies and propaganda
April 21, 20223 yr Some of the media is very good at holding the politicians to account but a lot of the print media are the ones pulling the politicians strings and setting the agenda. Telegraph, Mail, Express, Sun and GB News doing untold damage to our country. Other countries just don't have that kind of disgusting media and are all the better for that.
May 16, 20223 yr The rancid binbag of custard that masquerades as our PM has said that he did indeed agree the NI Protocol but that he didn't expect the EU to apply it. If this doesn't count as misconduct in public office, I don't know what does.
