Can we still build boats ?
Not sure we have the skilled workers
We will probably have to import foreign workers
We will probably need to offshore this project plus does Brexit have to do with it ?

Bad news for employment

A pathetic response from Downing Street to Philip Hammond today, accusing him of wanting to block Brexit when he was Chancellor. The fact is, he voted three times to leave with a deal. As he says, leaving without a deal would be every bit as much of a travesty of the referendum result as not leaving at all.
No one voted for No Deal.

Just balancing the books on here
There is enough blind nationalism from the old Churchill’s and their sleepwalking into oblivion
I get to experience England and France every 10 days so feel qualified to comment on some issues especially when other countries are mocked on here
Wake up Staines the UK currently lags behind most European countries from Transport to social care
You should look into paramedics in France you could do well ... Ambulances are just medical taxis

EU announces plan to scrap member state veto on tax policy
Commission says EU should move to qualified majority voting for tax issues

The European Commission has proposed scrapping member states’ veto on tax policy, in a move that could see levies imposed on EU countries against their will.
Brussels says the requirement of unanimity for tax policy is out-dated and that moving to a system of qualified majority voting would help speed up the legislative process.
The bloc has struggled to agree ambitious policies such as a tax on US tech giants because of opposition from low-tax countries such as Luxembourg and Ireland.

Launching the policy in Strasbourg on Tuesday, European Commission president Jean-Claude Juncker said he was “strongly in favour of moving to qualified majority voting and a stronger voice for the European Parliament on the common future of taxation in our Union”.
EU budget commissioner Pierre Moscovici said: “The EU has had a role in taxation policy since the origins of the Community six decades ago. Yet if unanimity in this area made sense in the 1950s, with six Member States, it no longer makes sense today.
“The unanimity rule in taxation increasingly appears as politically anachronistic, legally problematic and economically counterproductive. I am fully aware of how sensitive an issue this is, but that cannot mean that the discussion is off limits. So let’s begin this debate today.”
As well as broader tax policies, the Commission wants to be able to react more quickly to scandals such as Luxleaks, and also end the practice of member states giving sweetheart deals to multinationals.
The proposal would need to get past the European Parliament and European Council, where it is expected to face opposition.
To make the move more palatable the Commission has suggested a gradual move, with policies on tax fraud and evasion moving to qualified majority first. The veto would the be ended on tax policies linked to other goals such as fighting climate change or improving public health.
Other policy areas, such rules governing corporation tax and VAT, would follow - with final implementation expected to be around 2025.
All the EU top brass are rampant Federalists, this is simply a step to putting that goal into being. The Mediterranean countries have been bullied on their budgets for years since the financial crash, it's a sort of FFP for nations which like in football favours the bigger players, blending 28 budgets into something workable really isn't on so giving the EU total control is the aim...

Couple Film Hard Brexit Porno Next to Parliament
Guido has often said that the EU screws the UK, recently a couple decided to hammer the point home by taking to a spot favoured by anti-Brexit protesters outside Parliament. By making a porn film…
The indecent display – happening outside Parliament rather than in the Commons for once – was uploaded to an adult website specialising in public sex around London landmarks. Big Ben even bongs along to add to the mood…
The film begins with scenic shots of Parliament and anti-Brexit protesters, accompanied by the national anthem as the male stands to attention, naturally. The two adult performers then take to a tent with the male actor draped in an EU flag engaging in some in-depth negotiations with his female companion, clad in the Union Jack. A familiar feeling for Brexiteers who’ve watched Theresa May’s negotiators happily let the country get shafted over the last few years…
While the couple don’t make it explicit whether they back a hard Brexit, the man does choose the EU flag to clean up afterwards. Brings a whole new meaning to ‘Bollocks to Brexit’…

More people in jobs than ever while wages continue to grow

The employment rate is at 76.1 per cent, with 32.81 million people now in workJOE GIDDENS/PA
Wages are rising at their fastest rate in more than a decade and the number of people in work has hit an official high.
Average weekly earnings growth, excluding bonuses, went from 3.6 per cent to 3.9 per cent in the three months to June, compared with the same period last year, the Office for National Statistics said yesterday.
This was the fastest growth rate since June 2008 and higher than the 3.8 per cent figure forecast. The number of people in employment rose by 115,000 to 32.81 million, helped by the fact that the proportion of women aged 16 to 64 who are in work rose to 72.1 per cent, the highest rate recorded.
The figures offer some hope that the country could avoid…

Shouldn’t effect you tosspots this is Europe get back to your island of doom
Well a lot of support for this in France actually as people trust the EU far more than their own countries local finances. The French have a very poor record when it comes to local paperwork ... it needs taking away from them imo
