You asked a reasonable question about whether the article from the Express was true. You got a reasonable reply about the implications if it were true.

I have no idea why this reaction was called for.

You do realise what it appears that you are doing?
You must, as I have pointed this out to you a few times.
*sigh*


Yet again you are disingenuous, read on.
The Express article in which I was asking (someone else BTW, NOT you so why did you feel the need to respond? ) referred to an interview with a US congressman:
http://www.express.co.uk/news/politics/821435/Brexit-news-US-Congressman-UK-front-of-queue-EU-trade-deal
The response from another poster following in post # 550 clearly shows that to be the case since they include that link.


So you were disingenuous by attempting to use that for your own nefarious reasons to prolong a much older discussion regarding a poll in the same publication.
That was not what was being discussed.

And THAT is why the reaction you dislike was called for.
If you do not like such a response to your posts I politely suggest you do not attempt such deceptions.

Again (and as I posted well before your deceitful reply) I say:

Now let's see if you can prove that you are adult enough to stop your what amounts to no more than incessant bickering and move on?

Theresa May's cabinet is beginning to tear itself apart over Brexit

Theresa May's cabinet is on the brink of open civil war as some of the government's most important office holders struggle to reconcile their differences over how they should handle Brexit.

Like many others it would appear that you too do not realise that these migrant workers are, by and large, already here.
They are already doing the work.
Now if millions do indeed return from whence they came it is quite obvious that whoever replaces these workers if they come from outside the UK are not really new migrants, they are replacements for those that have returned.

I don't think I missed that some batch of workers are already here. But we're talking about seasonal work.

I had no idea that replacing outward migrants with new inward migrants didn't count as immigration. So this whole thing about reducing immigration is a net thing and not an absolute thing? Because that'd *almost* make sense, but is never how I've seen it described.

Will these replacement migrants not count towards the tallys? Will they still need to apply for VISAs? Will they still actually want to come?

Im a little unclear of where i said i dislike him??

Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but you seemed to think that May paying the DUP £1bn was good because Corbyn would have spent £1tn in the same way. That's a stretch by even the most anti-Corbyn standards.

Retail sales recover in June:

British shops had a better June than economists expected

Borne out by encouraging news from Dixons Carphone who say:

Cash-strapped Britons still buying electricals

And:

Dixons finance director Humphrey Singer said the firm's electricals business had continued to deliver "very solid results" since its April 29 year end, though he did not give figures. Fiscal first-quarter numbers are due on Sept. 7.

It strikes me that the so-called "cash-strapped Britons" are not really so cash-strapped as some seem to think.
After all, if you're worried about finances you don't spend on high-ticket electronics unless you have to.

Meanwhile, back in the real world....

The Bank of England is to force banks to strengthen their financial position in the face of a rapid growth in borrowing on credit cards, car finance and personal loans.

The intervention by Threadneedle Street means banks will need to set aside as much as £11.4bn of extra capital in the next 18 months and is intended to protect the financial system from the 10% rise in consumer lending over the year.

The UK however may import workers to replace those wishing to move from wherever we want globally, allowing far more freedom of choice than being restricted to the EU.
There is absolutely no reason why using workers from elsewhere should cost the UK more than EU workers; I have seen zero evidence to support claims from some quarters that it will.

?

This doesn't doesn't seem to me to be in the democratic spirit of the EU 'out vote ' From what I can gather the driving force behind the leave vote was immigration. I don't think the electorate meant stop the Spanish and Poles coming here and lets have more Asians and Africans. I could be wrong though.
