O/T:- Tangible Brexit Dividends

[forwardmagpie]

Not just him. To sum up what a useless bunch we have in government, if Boris hadn't replaced Theresa May it would have been the equally obnoxious Michael Gove!

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.

If you care to read back through any Brexit topic ever on here, I have always said that I thought the corrupt EU were still a better option than the corrupt Tory government. If you want to try and point score because I happened to mention Boris in this thread, be my guest.

Travel????

Limited time you can spend abroad, less and more expensive access to healthcare abroad, longer queues at customs, more expensive and lengthier paperwork to bring pets abroad, more paperwork for business travellers…do you want me to go on?

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 👍

I didn’t realise you counted points.

Forward, you are becoming a pest that's hard to control.

... as a former net contributor into the EU black hole cesspit, I would sooner we vote for our own MP's so they spend/waste GB taxpayers money for us here. At least we can vote them out if we wish. The idea that you would let Johnny foreigner pi55 our money away is beyond normal rationale; but you just can't account for some mugs ...

Nice one, Captain Mainwaring.

It's early days for both sides of the argument so neither side should be gloating or predicting at present. Mind you that won't stop some who seem to have all the answers.

Do you think that all of what you say will stay that way for ever. Also asn't Covid had anything to do with travel or hold ups at the ports then, or is everything down to brexit?
