Brexit: Unions are for Pussies

[optimisation]

Also restricting immigration is a terrific way to slow economic growth.

Which immigration are you talking about? Brexit pertains to Eastern European migration from EU states like Poland, not migration from commonwealth countries (former British colonies).

I'm sure all those commonwealth constituents are eager to immigrate to the European country suffering the most during a no deal brexit/beginning of a global recession.

Not like they have any choice given the fact that most of the immigrants from commonwealth countries know English but not French, German or Spanish.

Freedom of Movement to end immediately after a no deal brexit occurs.

Those plans have been dropped by Prime Minister Boris Johnson, in favour of a new approach to be set out at a later stage.

Speaking on Monday, Mr Johnson said the UK would not "become hostile to immigration," but it would be "democratically controlled" after Brexit.

The Home Office said EU citizens currently living in the UK would still have until December 2020 to apply for the right to remain under its settled status scheme.

"Freedom of movement as it currently stands will end on 31 October when the UK leaves the EU, a spokesperson said.

"After Brexit the government will introduce a new, fairer immigration system that prioritises skills and what people can contribute to the UK, rather than where they come from."

A Downing Street spokeswoman added that "tougher criminality rules" for those coming to the UK will be introduced.

Pretty great that what is one of the bigger problems of a hard Brexit is being used as a positive by Boris. I find "After Brexit the government will introduce a new, fairer immigration system that prioritises skills and what people can contribute to the UK, rather than where they come from." to be rather hilariously short sighted and simplistic. Also not divulging what the alternative will be until who knows when helps keep uncertainty high...which is exactly what no one needs more of at this point.

It's a great plan, the best plan. We'll only have good people coming in. No rapists or murders or brown/black people.

Yes never underestimate the butthurt of entitled children.

Never underestimate Human Stupidity, it's the cancer of this existence and a universal constant these days.

I guess Boris found a way for everyone to hate him, even the guy in Fiye's gif.

[TsingTao]

That's a bold strategy, let's see if it pays off for him.

[Zealot]

Parliament is suspended, what happens now? Is the Queen in charge? She should rescind recognition of the colonies as free states.

Fucking go for broke, I love it.

[6souls]

It's an early recess. Just means parliament has less time to figure out a deal.

[6souls]

The queen approved of the measure about an hour ago. Purely ceremonial.

[Fiye]

Rubber fucking stamp gotta love it.

Maybe brits will realize the monarchy is useless and save money by kicking them the fuck out.
