If EU nationals living in Britain are allowed to stay so will I.

I doubt for a minute that particular point is at issue. Though there has to be a cut-off point at which eligibility commences.

Sorry for not getting back to you but been at the beach

Great value by visiting the UK currently.

Personally I'd like to see the EU offer political asylum to remainers - it would suit brexiters no end too, ive lost count of the number of comments from them suggesting remainers should just leave. It would be rather entertaining if remainers did so en masse, leavers might come to regret their contempt for such a large number of experts and professionals!

Lucky if he lives 10 years in this mess.
He can afford to do/say whatever because he won't go through the consequences.

Presumably rich enough to not suffer any real quality of life change either.

If that was indeed what "Killed them" explain why the global financial crash didn't kill them back in 2008-12 when Sterling fell even lower than it is now.

Exactly.

Its nothing to do with brexit. I have been in that trade (quite successfully) and I will put £50 to £5 that they have lost a major customer and that has killed their cash flow.

Supermarkets are ruthless and impossible to supply at a decent profit.

They will return a consignment for any spurious reason if they have too much of something
They will deduct substantial amounts from payable invoices for being 5 minutes late (eg) with a delivery

Earlier in the year iceberg, tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, were in very short supply due to bad weather in spain. However if they were contracted to supply say 5000 bags of salad a week to Tescos at 59p a bag it may well have been costing them 80p to produce it.

Do Tesco care? Not a bit.

Brexit is nothing to do with the demise of this company.

I wonder what'd happen to the average wage if all Remainers moved to Europe.

Why would remainers wish to move abroad to earn less money? Politics is more often or not only skin deep.

This post is Brexit related.

Why did it take so long,
Why did they not implement the rules they had (3 months etc etc)
WHEN will this be enacted into law, if ever!

I couldn't see the median for the UK on that map of yours, and as much as I hate to use Wikipedia as a source, I doubt these figures are wrong:


The vast majority of people earn 30k or below. Your claim is outright wrong. You can't expect to earn £35k 'easily' through hard work.

Granted, these figures are for 2012/13, but wage growth has been hovering around the 2% mark for years. Many higher paying jobs (particularly public sector) have been lost, and replaced with lots of ZHCs and other low paying jobs, so I'm inclined to say that graph is valid in terms of representing today.

It clearly says at the top median weekly earnings. Click on any area of the UK and it will tell you the median for that area. It also allows you to pick men or women or fill time or part time

Haven another look at the ones link. Add about 5% to go from 2015 data to today
