So tell us B, how much more immigration this will mean?

It wont matter if there have something to give instead of taking forever.

Unfortunately I do not have that much confidence in any points based system. IMO it will still allow businesses to import cheap labour rather than investing in training our own. It will still mean we require more houses being built on our countryside.
Horsham District have identified 25 sites where they can build another 24000 houses over the next 10 years. No I am not a nimby, just hate seeing all the open spaces being concreted over, where ever it is

I thought I just did. It will be up to the government of the day to decide as it should be.

We are about to see a huge rise in unemployment in this country I think the priority should be to find work for people already here before we start to import labour from abroad. We will see how the new system works next year.

Really think the new labour leader Clem Johnson is right we should bin these old remain/leave arguments.

They are hardly a priority now.

Another step closer to the final break with the EU given that there is (supposedly) no going back now from the December 31st deadline for an agreement.

Lets hope

The crucial thing is that the point system in Australia is designed for a country that is fussy about who it imports but needs skilled workers as it's population is relatively small.
Britain is already overcrowded, has far too many scroungers and should only be importing skills that are absolutely necessary.
No more 50 family members who come here, sign on and then moan about our empire days.

You're right. If I move to Australia (I already did but moved back) I can bring my immediate family. Why are we letting extended families move here? Who is that helping? Not the people already here, that's for sure. I hope all that is over immediately - if there is a six month/twelve month delay, expect a deluge. Not that the media or government will mention it.

Human Rights is the answer to your question, together with EU family permits

Remember they told us the major companies will leave Britain and there will be thousands of job losses? Strangely, I couldn't find this story on mainstream media...

Saw this and posted it a few days ago. Interestingly no remainer felt inclined to reply. This is the industry my daughter works in, believe me it is not going anywhere and is very much going to remain UK based

- Evidence of Russian interference in Scottish Independence referendum (in favour of SNP)
- No evidence of Russian interference in Brexit (LOL)
- Evidence of Russian interference in the 2019 General Election (playing Corbyn as their useful idiot).

Oh dear, what will the narrative be now? It was all down to the Russians, wasn't it?

That will upset the BBS. I seem to remember one former member of this board was convinced that the referendum was fixed by the Russians and their Brexit allies.

When this story first broke I predicted it was not the smoking gun that the Remainers and pro Corbyn supporters thought it would be that in fact it would be a bit of a damp squid.

We will see today who was right from what I heard so far I don't understand why this was not released at the time.

The EU has agreed a bailout deal with it's member countries I am more interest in the fallout two things to look for in the near future:

1. Rumour is that an EU wide tax will be created to help pay for this, signifiant because it will be the EU instead of member states that controls it.

2. What impact will this have on the Brexit talks it is in no one's interest not to have a trade deal so will this soften the EU's position?

The EU 750bn euros virus protection fund does not bear any comparison to the UKs world-beating offer of a cheap meal in August and mass unemployment.

I would love to know how this money is eventually spent in the EU. I bet the mafia are rubbing their hands with glee.

With regards to 1, then the Devil is in the detail. If it is an effective EU wide tax imposed on individuals accross the entire 27 and managed from Brussels then it is a huge development. And perhaps the first major decision the EU has taken that would not have happened if the UK had remained inside it. But lets see.

As to the second, then I suspect not a lot really. They will progress as they progress and there is a lot of smoke and mirrors about at the moment.
