But when you voted it was Mr Cameron as Prime Minister who was campaigning for remain and yet you haven’t mentioned him in regard to your voting choice just people who weren’t in charge when you voted.Quote:

Not forgetting this thread is for people to tell us about the tangible benefits of Brexit, which and fair play to him, ncfcog has had a decent go at.
The summary seems to be that there maybe a few fringe benefits, lots of negatives and lots of things where UK has managed to cope OK. But the organisation that brought peace and prosperity to Europe for 50 years must be corrupt and relied on UK cash despite carrying on happily after Brexit. So we'll just keep voting for the corrupt Tories because they aren't foreigners.
Actually, I can think of one positive effect of Brexit, to do with recruitment.
Previously, when recruiting doctors, we were forced to appoint an EU candidate ahead of candidates who needed a visa. So, regardless of skill and suitability, if an 'appointable' candidate from the EU was interviewed, they had to be given the post. It was only once we could prove we couldn't appoint someone from the EU that we could go elsewhere. That always struck me as unfair, poor employment practice (surely we should have been able to appoint the best candidate) and potentially racist. Many goid doctors from India for example were shut out entirely from the recruitment process.
It also led to some bizarre scenarios. A medical student from America did their medical degree in a UK hospital. They could then work on their student visa until they were fully registered. After 2 years they wanted to apply for a competitive training post. There was no point. Despite being an excellent candidate, anyone applying from the EU would have been appointed first. So they returned to the US.
For a long time, EU legislation even prevented testing the language skills of doctors who had undertaken their medical degree anywhere in the EU.
At least now recruitment can be based on merit alone, rather than where you are from.
Okay Elite I accept your post was an error and when you said you voted remain because of Boris that wasn’t what you meant, of course you never pick other people up on errors 👍Quote:
