These are peoples livelihoods we are talking about. Their sole means to support their families. A lot of people are one paycheck away from poverty.
Have a bit of respect yeah?
Dead right, , you will notice that all the politicians, and some business leaders, like that idiot who runs Weatherspoons, who like ‘no deal’, are very well off,
And the disaster of Brexit, will not effect them.
It's more than that though.........Much more than just rich, xenophobic idiots.......... It is a hardline right wing dream to turn the UK into the Singapore of Europe. A low tax, low wage, totally deregulated economy that isn't burdened with things like workers rights, human rights, animal rights, any 'rights', minimum wage, contracts of employment, environmental laws etc. etc....
Here .....this describes EXACTLY what the right wingers of the ERG want:-
https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/br ... 35226.htmlThe EU fear this. They fear the impact of such a place on their doorstep would have on them - under-cutting them, sucking in investment from the mega-multi nationals because that's the only way we could attract them......... creating a race to the bottom. That's why they are so determined to protect their single market and stop us cherry-picking their many benefits while we simultaneously undercut them by having none of the responsibilities of a civilised, liberal, democratic society.
