Another new Brexit thread

[blueparrot]

Still at least we’ve been diverted from having to give an advantage of Brexit :)

I once went 8 years without a holiday fella. Anyhow I'm glad you have dismissed such a thing and UK residents all have holidays.

This new info will certainly go down well with some of our posters who frequent the politics forum.

Nah, don’t believe it.
Every day at work would be like a busman’s holiday for you.

Sorry pal Bentleys are nice I have had to sell one of mine, don’t have time to wash it with all the wasted time doing inconvenient Brexity stuff that hasn’t happened yet.

As you are no doubt replacing it with a Vauxhall Corsa can you tell me what things you like about the car that you haven’t experienced yet. Nothing big just a small thing you like about the car you haven’t even sat in . Maybe you like the air freshener you haven’t smelt or the feel of the steering wheel you haven’t turned?

Please don’t be shy there must be something, i will tell you it’s still shit afterwards but I think we would both be expecting that anyhow, don’t you agree?

Just the one; do I still need to pay the driver or is a pass accepted?

Again, for the third time, we could, but you wouldn't regard it as an advantage.

I am loving the whole charade of the usual suspects on political thread that normally shout about the concerns of the downtrodden, underpaid victims of privilege of the UK attacking one of their own for highlighting that they have been underpaid and have lacked the privileges others are using to rub in their faces! XD

I don’t think anyone is having a go about it, just saying that that isn’t the normality for most people now, thankfully (I will caveat that with I imagine a fair few are loading up with debt in doing it too though)

The answer to it is to make it so that you and others can be in a better position to afford it rather than make it harder and more expensive for those that already can, surely.

Not to those who want to shy away from the reality, no matter how much people try and shout it at you.

And for those of us who it still is a reality, I do apologise for shattering that illusion that things are suddenly better because they are for you and those you know personally.

You might want to have a word with several posters who love to point out i've never been able to afford a trip abroad, if your words are genuine.

I remember when we had a discussion in this thread or maybe the previous one about stifled wages and poor working conditions brought about by imported cheap labour and a left wing die hard social justice warrior poster who for years has gone about workers rights, companies taking the piss etc muttered these immortal lines........

If you don’t like it get another job.

He turned into everything he claimed to detest because he was on the wrong side of a vote. That was how deep his morals went in that moment. Lots of ways he could have tried to argue against the points but no.

If you don’t like it get another job.

And people expect us to play their silly little games when we know it all leads back 4 years.

Is the correct answer only several years too late mate

Shattering what illusion? I think you’re looking for a perception that isn’t there, I know a few people that can’t afford to go on holiday, my brother in law hasn’t in over a decade. Was just pointing out that it isn’t a majority position.

Yte they're normally the ones who complain when certain businesses and shops are short-staffed because no-one wants to take those jobs.

Shall we begin the "Brits won't do fruit picking argument" as an example? ;)

Then you need to wake up and realise that for a lot of people, that perception does not reflect reality and that it IS a majority position.

If I remember correctly MB is on a zero hours contract, do you beleive for a minute Brexit will change those kind of contracts , that would go in the plus side for brexit, I agree. I don’t, think for a minute it will, and is something just electing the right government could have done in or out.

Don’t think he ever said it was tbh

You are now changing the goal posts, you need to retrace the discussion, it’s an annoying habit on here.

It doesn’t reflect their reality absolutely, but the stats don’t back up that it is a majority position at all. As I said previously, I’d caveat that with I imagine a fair few going on holiday can’t afford it and are getting into debt doing it.

I saw your earlier updated post, on that, if I saw anyone mocking you for not being able to afford it, I’d either call them a twat or think they’re that big a twat they’re not worth spending time conversing with.

I am not on a zero hours contract, I am on a flexible hours contract with a minimum contracted amount. With my business being closed I cannot earn, hence being furloughed.

For a lot of people on here to make bold statements about me, I'm surprised that nobody actually remembers anything.

This should be interesting to those it applies to.

Apologies for that then, thought it was zero hours not minimum hours.

Correct. I'm being asked by the usual few to lament over slight changes to abroad holiday travel as being more serious than it actually is, and once again my lack of being able to travel abroad is being used as a mechanism to dismiss me from the discussion.

That's my objection.

Exactly my brother in laws situation. No certainty at all to when that’s going to change either. His concerns, and my concerns for him, a holiday isn’t anywhere remotely near the list.
