Weliveinhope Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 They continue to raid reserves due to monumental fuck up after monumental fuck up, when there should be provision for a rainy day. That rainy day is now here. You would have to think that net immigration is now a nailed on impossibility. I really wouldnt be surprised to see a lot of people now seriously considering leaving. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there's nothing in the budget to spook HNWIs who don't receive most of their cash from income anyway, so that's all good. Thank goodness for that. I'm sure nothing bad will happen if the actual earners leave. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't see that myself, the repercussions for business on the island would be massive. If something like that did happen, with £44m of taxpayer's cash going into the government only pension pot this year, and £60m extra pissed away on a ferry terminal...and numerous other wastes of cash, there would rightly be a major uproar and petitions all round to force several by-elections. This didn’t age well 🤦♂️ 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
