Also fairly sure a terrified young Vietnamese girl was walking the streets in Helensburgh a few months back and got taken in by the police, had been trafficked into the country. Trying to gauge the odds on whether the 'illegal' workers get to keep the money they've earned. If it's anything like the way the state treat sex workers for example then likely not! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10menwent2mow Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Sort of have a horrible feeling that what might happen - purely a hot take I should add - will be something similar to the Middle East where more easily exploited workers from, say, Bangladesh are invited in... for low level wageslave work. Not exactly what Brexit was all abart wif British jobs for British people innit, but then the Mail would probably get right behind using and abusing foreigners as long as it helps boost the value of cunty hotel groups in the City. There's that Hong Kong residency stuff rumbling on too.They'll just make the British people that do have these jobs work 60hr weeks because they'll no longer be protected by EU regulations. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I somehow doubt the people working in nail bars and takeaways are currently being protected by the EU working time directive. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MONKMAN Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 (edited) The DUP bigots realising they've been shafted is superb, they must genuinely have thought Westminster gave a single f**k about them Edited January 16, 2021 by MONKMAN 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 The DUP bigots realising they've been shafted is superb, they must genuinely have thought Westminster gave a single f**k about themThis is a point that is absolutely confusing. And tbf, one that confuses me with the type of voter defecting to tory. Do they really not think they are ultimately destined to be the victims? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thisal Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 (edited) Quick Question. Scotland becomes independent in the EU. How will this help food imports and exports to the EU that go through Dover? Surely they'll have to go through customs at Gretna and Dover.

This is what happens when politics is driven by misplaced ideology rather than pragmatism. They deserve what they get as to the bigots who vote for them. The others in NI don’t. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

O'Kelly Isley III Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Tories want us to fucking starve.The Tories must be privately getting very concerned about the optics of all of this. It wouldn't take much perceived hardship for a population mostly, and I stress mostly, unused to it to take a very dim view of such matters. Brexit was prosecuted on the basis of bombast and ignorance and now reality is biting. Bring it on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
