OT. The futures Bright, the Futures Brexit!!!

If people needed reminders of what Brexit has done to us all, 12 October will come as a jolt. That?s when the EU finally begins its long-delayed stricter border checks, with a new entry-exit system (EES). At the border, the system will take not just passports, but fingerprints and photographs, storing data to enforce the rule that no Britons can stay in the Schengen area for more than 90 out of any 180 days. A ?20, three-year visa is due to come in next year.

The disruption this will cause and the delays and costs particularly to those who travel to the EU on a regular basis (Transport firms for one_ will increase.

Thankfully, I have a UK and a Dutch passport to get round all this UK and EU malarkey

And Farage himself is rumored to have applied for a German passport the day after the brexit referendum. Only a rumour but he has refused to confirm or deny it.

Of course been discussed here a few times. Mostly those on the side of brexit claim it's not going to make things 'much' worse, or deny it's an effect of brexit. Of course it's not because of brexit its happening but us no longer being in the EU means we will be impacted by it.

And let's not forget a certain poster claiming it was not going to impact anyone because he had traveled a number of times since Brexit with no issues.

It's also rumoured he didn't get one. Neither assertion seems to have any factual basis.

Two of his kids hold both UK and German passports, however, as their father is a Brit and their mother is German, that's not any great mystery.

Are you suggesting that?s not true? It?s quite possible. After 12th Oct, we?ll prob not but we?ll see

Well even if it's only a little bit worse it's still worse, brexit was supposed to make things better not just a little bit worse. Of course the 20 charge that will be coming our way cant possibly be labelled as a brexit benefit even to the most ardent Brexit supporters.

The 90 day limit is of course not an improvement either

For the holiday maker or infrequent traveller, then the cots, time delay etc. it probably doesn't make a lot of difference, but if one talks to people whose business involves multiple visits or the export and import of goods from the EU and they will tell you in great detail about the paperwork, the delays and substantial significant costs. In many cases small businesses ahve stopped exporting because they can no longer make it pay.

For the non traveller, it just makes food and goods more expensive than they could be, or unobtainable in some cases and of course the hit to the economy doesn't help. But one can't expect people in their own bubble to appreciate these matters.

You couldn't make it up, part 275. According to today's Metro...

The company behind Tommy Robinson's (aka Stephen Yaxley-Lennon) Union Jack emblazoned range of merchandise, actually made in Bangladesh, will be dissolved.

Was that due to low sales caused by the goods not being made in the UK?

He (or his company or both) doesn't/don't appear to have thought this through.

Must admit, it made me smile. Possibly not adult of me, possibly not the kindest smile I've ever had but the irony is incredibly beautiful.

[Geoff Parkstone]

Its probably been dissolved because of travel problems following Bangladexit

Stick to the day job Rog.

Always ironic that Farage, moans about the state of the Uk economy when Brexit is the biggest single factor that has negatively affected it. Has made an issue out of a small problem, small boats, yet Brexit is the reason they are being used.

Economists and analysts at Cambridge Econometrics found that, by 2035, the UK is anticipated to have three million fewer jobs, 32% lower investment, 5% lower exports and 16% lower imports, than it would have had been. The report states that the UK will be £311bn worse off by 2035 due to leaving the EU.

Got your threads confused, GP. Swale makes a perfectly valid Brexit point and you reply with something that belongs on ‘One liners’. Weird.
