This tweet contains a full article by Chris Grey for the byline times. Politics and the Media's shameful Family secret if you click on the Pic it gets readable. It's about the unsufficient coverage of British Media on Brexit and where it does come from: it's a tacitly agreed self-censor ship, based on the discomfort that both main parties have handling the topic of Brexit at all! Media being (mostly) complicit with it makes it as dishonest as politics. I do recommend it especially to you, Flying Monkeysas you were wondering why I still bang this drum and the many pages of this thread. The riddle's solution is that the impression of me being loud is because of other's conspiracy to keep the silence. And the reason why I am so loud is that very soon the UK and the EU will have to get along with each other - far more than before. This is not about rejoining it's about finding the base of cooperation. Those who followed my thread will be better prepared for the discussions that will pop up once Labour gets into government.

A talk with "European Powell" on the Special Enterprise Zones (SEZs like Teesside) and what to expect from them.
One of the reasons democracy is in real danger after Brexit
You will have to look out what happens there - even once Labour is in government

Impressive new Govt. Statistics! Published Yesterday! UK payrolled employments by nationality, region, industry, age and sex, from July 2014 to December 2023 www.gov.uk/government/statistics/uk-payrolled-employments-by-nationality-region-and-industry/uk-payrolled-employments-by-nationality-region-industry-age-and-sex-from-july-2014-to-december-2023and does contain some diagrams spreading over a period since even earlier years, with three curves for EU nationals, non-EU nationals, Britons, overlapping each other. I recommend having a look at Figure 1b: Payrolled employments of non-UK nationals, July 2014 to December 2023 The brave civil servant I have to applaud to starts the diagram even earlier: Dec 2014! Conclusion: Since Brexit/end of pandemic (Jan 21), number of payroll employments of non-EU nationals has increased by 1.3 million! Also nice Figure 2: Percentage change in payrolled employments on the same month in the previous year, by nationality, July 2015 to December 2023 Print these diagrams and give it to some people who you think they might need this info.

Yeah, a lot of Brexit voters will be dismayed by that … but some intelligent people did say Brexit would make it inevitable. I wish I’d listened to them.

Yeah, a lot of Brexit voters will be dismayed by that … and for the Islam haters: guess what this has done to the percentage of Muslims living in the UK? it wasn't inevitable. Starting investing money into British education and giving high subsidies for jobs Britons don't want to make would have worked as well - but that wasn't cheap enough for the fat cats. That fraud was easy to detect: There was no plan. If there had been one I would have found it and presented it here. (I had presented the 'plan' for leveling up as soon as it was available) The Young have been betrayed in multiple ways - they got taken away the opportunities for upskilling on the continent - and now Tories even want to reduce foreign students coming to Britain who helped paying for the higher education of the domestic students. And public discourse has been narrowed down with culture wars. There sadly is a potential for a far-left terrorism in the UK now, some of the Young who see no future for themselves might be attracted to it - in Germany we had to bear that in the 70ies.

Brexiteers will have to accept that "you have lost, get over it" is not a longterm calming balm for remoaners if Brexit cannot be made working. Here a long Bremoaner rant I copied from X. For security reasons I put it into a spoiler >>>
yes, that rant ends with some powerful messages...

In short, when it comes to inventing quangos for non events, the EU leads the way.

In short, when it comes to inventing quangos for non events, the EU leads the way. hey, we do like our quangos! We like to feed them to be prepared. And we live in times when non events are becoming events. (And by the way - I wouldn't call EU agencies NGOs or quangos...) An example for an unpleasant risk regarding AI NYC’s government chatbot is lying about city laws and regulations arstechnica.com/ai/2024/03/nycs-government-chatbot-is-lying-about-city-laws-and-regulations/ Meanwhile in the UK the Tory politicians still haven't accepted that they needed the rise of the numbers of civil servants to handle the multitude of new tasks after Brexit bc yes, EU agencies did a lot of stuff! Oliver Dowden dreams of replacing 60,000 civil servants with AI. Or does he dream of chatbots just lying about laws and regulations, so that he doesn't need to change them? And there are tendencies of reducing staff in HMRC call centres.

Put into the thread where it belongs to The government has revealed how much companies will have to pay to import foods from Europe due to Brexit. Small imports of products such as fish, salami, sausage, cheese and yoghurt will be subject to a £145 fee from 30 April, according to the Common User Charge. Details about the charges have been postponed several times. The Cold Chain Federation said the new charges would "negatively affect food prices". Its chief executive Phil Pluck said the fee would have to be passed on to "either the EU importer, the smaller UK retailer, or the UK consumer". "Ultimately, this will increase business costs and food prices and potentially lower choices for the shopper," he said. www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-68726852www.gov.uk/guidance/common-user-charge-rates-and-eligibilityAdditionally FT Trade groups hit at incoming UK Brexit border charge www.ft.com/content/38498a3b-ef3c-451e-80fc-84d2bb4b7302?shareType=nongift

Yesterday I met a 40y old German woman (after our screening of "Anatomy of a Fall") who had been for some days to France - bc of Erasmus as she is a teacher. It was an Erasmus opportunity - bc Erasmus isn't for students only, there are also teacher project. Now why I am talking about that? We had the topic of comparing Erasmus to Turing in the old Brexit thread. In the following article we get something new (and perhaps surprisingly honest) UK quit Erasmus because of Brits’ poor language skillswww.politico.eu/article/brits-poor-language-skills-made-erasmus-scheme-too-expensive-says-uk/ What a slap into the face of British Young people this whole thing was! And to all who knew about how important these programs are for keeping "soft power". Logical reasoning might have led to "Hey, others profit more from Erasmus than we do? Then let's invest more in the language skills of our Youth! In Spanish, French, Italian, Polish, ... so that more British youngsters can profit as well " But someone must have said: "think of the UK taxpayer! And think of our unusable and lazy Youth unworthy of any invest (*) ! And perhaps we have to invest into other languages like Mandarin for selected students now for our new geopolitical direction" (*) that's not my opinion, it's opinion of upper class
Honestly! This attitude of "We don't let our youth profit from something good bc others do profit even more" is so FFFFUUUCCKKKEED UP. It's so typical "Knowing the price of everything but the value of nothing". Perhaps even more honest would been a statement like: "We want to systematically isolate our Youth from the rest of the continent - so that they have difficulties to flee and so that we can sell our lies about the European continent better"
