O'Kelly Isley III Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 Brexit is beginning to ominously resemble the summer of 1939 when families in SE England picnicked happily below RAF planes as Hitler's PanzerCorps prepared to career across Central Europe. Substitute Liam Fox for Neville Chamberlain, and a waved Trade Agreement over a Peace Accord and it gets more worrying still. How ironic it would be if falling off the Brexit cliff into No Deal territory sees the gentle'Countryfile' world of UK agriculture plunged into an existential crisis, and those stalwart Tory farmers royally shafted in the process. Ditto fishing, manufacturing and just about every other area of economic activity save for the City of London. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fly from Ireland Nothing to do with where you fly from (I appreciate you're probably being facetious). At the moment, staff working in Europe for UK companies work under UK law/conditions, have UK employer insurance, etc, as per freedom of movement agreement. If No Deal, this ends, and each employee will have to be either employed via the visa process, which is more costly in both time and money, under the laws of the country they are working in, or else the companies will stop using UK staff, and employ more local reps instead (which will cost more in customer goodwill as not only do they find that the people staying in foreign countries are, well, foreign, so are their tour reps too).
