mojomonkey Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Technological unemployment. Significant increases in automation in manufacturing industry (robots) increases productivity and reduces the actual amount of work for humans, resulting in a reduced workforce. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh but they will - unless they are restricting business to markets where EU regs and standards won’t apply. Or maybe you and Liam Fox think the world will defer to the kitemark?

Freggyragh Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 You’ll find, as with Japan, that most markets have harmonised regs and standards with the EU. The U.K. has decided to adopt all the EU regs to begin with too, so it’ll be awhile until your dreams of companies specially fitting out their factories with British Standard Whitworth for the British market come to fruition. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freggyragh Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Anyway, back to my original question, has anyone heard of any genuine opportunities thanks to Brexit? I don’t count a change of passport colour or anything else that’s purely symbolic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are expecting their workload to increase around the 400% mark thanks to Brexit. So lots of (expensive) employment opportunities there. Surprised David "Fall Guy" Davis isn't banging that recruitment drum... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprised David "Fall Guy" Davis isn't banging that recruitment drum... There will probably be similar parallels to the US border force after Drumpf's "immigrants are bad" push. USBF recruitment went into over drive. However, to meet new staffing level targets quickly, recruitment standards slipped and the number of disciplinary cases and "dishonourable" discharges increased at a staggering rate. Corruption charges also saw a marked increase as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mojomonkey Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Farage is trying to get back into the media spotlight, where there's muck there's brass. I can't see the point of a second referendum. Firstly, there has already been a referendum and I personally feel you have to respect the will of the people. Secondly, if the outcome of a second referendum were to remain we'd effectively have a draw, which presumably would need a third referendum to decide (or possibly they'd have a penalty shootout). Thirdly, if the outcome was leave again it will have achieved nothing new anyway. Fourthly, a new referendum would cost a stupid amount of money.
