An exodus of EU workers is on the cards. Employers can stop it from happening, but they need to act quickly

We keep telling them they're not welcome - why on earth would they stay if they had any reasonable alternative?
We really have become completely schizophrenic. Decades of alternative facts from the Mail et al and as an electorate we are now completely dysfunctional.

A new survey shows that public approval of the European Union has rebounded dramatically compared with a year ago.

The poll results from the U.S.-based Pew Research Center show that majorities in nine of 10 EU member countries now hold a favourable view of the 28-country economic and political bloc.

Scotland wants "least Bad Brexit"

I feel a referendum coming on. Do you want to:

1) stay in the EU
2) leave with hard brexit
3) leave with people's brexit
4) leave with soft brexit
5) leave with least bad Brexit
6) leave with no Brexit
7) leave with Norwegian Brexit
Have a forgotten anything?

tinyclanger2 · Post by **tinyclanger2** » Thu 15 Jun, 2017 10:29 pm

8) leave with Brexit means Brexit
9) leave with strong and stable Brexit
10) leave with certain Brexit
11) leave with porous border Brexit
12) leave with chocolate stays the same size Brexit

UK businesses face several years of uncertainty and upheaval due to Brexit, the Duke of York has told the BBC.
However, businesses should make the most of new international opportunities, Prince Andrew said.
He added that he is "as much in the dark as anyone else" about Brexit.

This time last week, or a little earlier, I questioned Corbyn.

I questioned everything about him. I thought he was riding on a wave of momentum.

I still don't think he's that smart, in fact I think he was as shocked and delighted as we were at the time.

But none of that matters anymore.

He's now the head of a social movement, one we've never seen before in this country, one that could change things in ways I never thought possible.

And wouldn't it be nice if all the shit we'd been told wasn't possible by Blair and the Mail turned out to be quite possible after all.

Awful I blame my blue MP.I travelled hundreds of miles and changed my job to escape them I thought I would be safe here,they deliberately changed boundaries shipped in a load of Tories just to annoy me,granted it took them 25 years to catch me up.Currently numbering bricks of my home so when I find a safe plot of land I remember where each goes.
