Originally posted by Wisbech Eagle Maybe you missed this critical paragraph:- "The organizational streamlining won’t affect staffing levels or business activities in either country, it said. The headquarters of Unilever’s foods and refreshment division, which represents around 40% of the company’s sales, will continue to be based in Rotterdam. The home care and beauty & personal care divisions will continue to be headquartered in the U.K." So this has nothing to do with jobs. Much more likely to be ready to take advantage of the expected lower tax regime that a desperate UK is prepared to offer in an effort to shore up its economy. Don't though let that stop anyone claiming it as Brexit victory. At least they will pay some tax. Many dont and recently it has proved fruitless not to.

The "EU Commission" and "voters" - two concepts I don't tend to see in the same sentence. The EU political government layer is utterly uninterested in the economics of it - they just want to dispense with the annoying "nation state" thing, and move to fullly federalised US-E. It is a political project, with political aims. I'm just grateful we rejected it.

Oh dear all is not well in La La Land. No wonder the EU want to extend negotiations with us for another 2 years its our money they are after. The issue is not just about how much bailout money and who gets it but how it is to be financed. Some countries want EU wide taxes which would be controlled by the commission and not by national governments. Still I don't believe that because Remainers told me it will never happen.

Had something pointed out to me this morning. Boris's bus said; "We send send the EU £350 million pounds a week" "Let's fund our NHS instead" We do send £350m a week to the EU. At no point does it say we were intending on spending £350m a week extra on the NHS. The liberal elite that went nuts over it really need to learn to read properly.

What they forget to mention is that Boris was not in the government at the time and the official government position was to remain. So after losing the referendum the government was expected to keep a promise that it never made and had been wilfully misunderstood in he first place. One more point

Originally posted by steeleye20 So tell us B, how much more immigration this will mean? My mistake I thought I was replying to the previous Tweet about the EU. That was what I was celebrating. That said I am glad that we will now have control over who comes in. As for how many and who they are that is a matter for the government of the day and should always have been. If future voters don't like the policy no doubt they will express that at the next GE. Edited by Badger11 (01 Jul 2020 7.19am) One more point
