The influx of cheap labour benefitted “fat cat” types and was (IMO) to the detriment of ordinary people. Yeah wages have gone up...that means inflation, everything goes up in price so no fucker who gets their hands dirty for a living still doesn't get ahead. I always earned more than my Polish colleagues because I was better qualified and they were unlikely to ever get good enough English and maths to get the qualifications to get ahead of me...some did and fair play to them but not many...

This was your chance, in your own specialist subject, to absolutely roundhouse someone in the face. Opportunity missed. France isn’t the property of the EU 🤷🏻♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing stopped EU countries signing vaccine deals. The head start was mainly AZ which was more luck than judgement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not wanting to is reason enough. It’s literally the opposite of that. Not sleeping with the girl is maintaining the status quo. Leaving the EU required a positive reason for doing so and as yet we’ve not seen one. Edited January 4, 2022 by ewerk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would come in handy during a fuel cost crisis… Where are these deals with emerging economies and how many would we have to do in order to make up for tearing up a deal with a load of developed economies? And as you well know, there was absolutely nothing stopping us from purchasing our own vaccines without the EU. As some EU countries did themselves.
