The Brexit Consequences Thread

[headgear]

I‘ve just been reading a German article ( below) about Germans seeking work outside Germany using a Berlin nurse who jumped ship at 50 to work in Switzerland as an example. She did so for better pay and conditions having seen her employment eroded over the years.

The statistics used in the article caught my eye as Britain, with over 300,000 Germans, 50,000 alone in London, has been left out entirely. What they also left out was that the two most attractive destinations for skilled Germans are both outside the EU. Switzerland and Britain.

I'm more than happy with Germans going to London, I actually hope that they do so in sufficient numbers to push out the vast swathes of the Middle East and 3rd world who are already there!

How did this happen

Brexit has boosted UK wages, say economist

Drop in EU immigration has given British workers better bargaining power

Ah, the inevitable downside of Brexit as predicted by the Remain campaign leader…

We’ve almost got one in the family (less than a year to go before she marries my niece). She’s in her late 20s, a graduate, funny, loud, fun, loves pork, has a northern English accent, is very competitive, and more than a little pee’d off that she got her covid vaccine in the UK months before her grandad got his back in Germany.

She’s a fan of nasty, cold, unwelcoming, racist, failing Britain.

Are they actually far right or is that simply the leftist tendency to label anything they dislike with a perjorative term they think will scare people?
Meloni in Italy was labelled as a fascist, but she's just a bit right of center conservative.

Let's see if the stranglehold of the left in the Western European countries is finally broken.

Churchill would be labelled far right if he was alive now

I always found it tres amusant that the snowflakes in Glastonbury were bleating about the result but couldn't be arrsed to vote...

They did find time to sing oooooh Jeremy Corbyn at Glasto, so they think they won the argument, even though they couldn't be bothered to vote

Anyone who pays that much to sit in a muddy field doesn't deserve the vote...

And remember. No borders or walls.

Young Fathers also dedicated a song called 'Shame' to Suella Braverman, after delivering their pro-refugee message to the crowd.

The German coalition gubment is dead in the water currently as their €60 Billion Covid windfall, unspent national emergency funding borrowed/printed in excess of the constitutional restrictions for new government debt, has just evaporated. The German constitutional court has stopped them misusing the funds for their own pet net zero malarkey. They should be used to pay back national debt.

Cynical as I am about German politicians’ use of money I wonder how much of the non existent funding has already been committed to contracts and projects?

Swiss salaries are interesting if you don't live in Switzerland. The price of day to day life in this country is now beyond stupid that's why so many work in Switzerland and live in France or Italy.

Switzerland workforce issues are not new; the country has just launched a recruitment drive for 85,000 skilled workers

Travail : la Suisse lance le recrutement de 85 000 employés avec des salaires allant à 6 500 euros

Connue comme l'un des pays les plus prospères au monde, la Suisse lance des offres d'emploi aux travailleurs étrangers. Les salaires proposés sont très attractifs. Ils vont de 3 500

Was this Covid windfall the result of a German pharmaceutical firm developing a for profit Covid vaccine that got rolled out by an American pharmaceutical company (obvs with royalties being paid to the developer) and then the added windfall that resulted from the ‘at cost vaccine’ be ling publicly slated, with German pharmaceutical companies being used to manufacture the ‘for profit’ vaccine for other countries who were told what they’d have to pay for it. (It’s like a money transfer programme)


Or is it like the Scottish governments covid windfall that resulted in additional funding be made available, that purposely wasn’t spent?

A similar situation seems to be underway with the EU ammunition for Ukraine programme. We’ll buy up any ammunition manufacturer within the EU….as long as it’s German owned

That one!

The unpopular coalition, dragged down by the Green Party millstone, drastically needs some positive soundbites. This money was going to be the rabbit pulled out of the magicians hat to provide those soundbites, the rabbit is however brown bread.

The forthcoming rigid programme of Bundestag votes (N.B. I don't call them debates as nothing is debated) was designed to rubber stamp the spending of this loot.

A vote of no confidence now would finish them off I suspect.....

The German finance Ministry has just stopped any further spending in 2023. I smell the tip of a vast overspend pooberg emerging slowly.

Nothing is more predictable in politics than socialists blowing money they don't have!

A €770 billion pooberg - By Christ, that is going to hurt

The decision by the German Constitutional Court not only covered the unspent covid emergency fund but also applies to other slush funds and reserves.

The German's budget rigidly for the next three years. Since they are not clever enough to have a financial year which doesn't clash with Christmas and New Year this is the busiest time of year for the Finanz ministry, they now have to re plan their budgets for 2024-2027 and they don't know what their start point is!

They could work overtime to sort it out but there is now no budget for that!

The Germans do have a very similar saying to our own "Don't count your Chickens before they hatch!"

"Kümmere dich nicht um ungelegte Eier!" Don't concern yourself with unlaid eggs!
