Three-Day Week - Wikipedia
They’ve failed for the last 9 years, but still managed to blame every one of their failures on someone else.
I suspect they spent too long watching ambulance chaser adverts “Where there’s blame there’s a claim”. Find someone to blame. Keep repeating they are guilty. Get others to repeat it (whether it’s 100% true, 50% true, or complete Boris). Repeat until it is believed.
...and no, as I have said several times before, I am not a Corbyn supporter and I do not think he would make a good PM.…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment

The U.K. government from 1970 to 1974 was Conservative.
It was Conservatives fooking it up (trying a hard line to tackle inflation) and then compounding their fookup by misreading the situation with the miners.

In that period the planes to Europe were full of UK IT specialists going to consult in Europe. There never was a generation in Europe like my generation, the lot who PEEKed and POKEd their Commodore 64s, Spectrums and BBC Bs in the 80s.
But now Europe has another source of good IT specialists: Eastern Europe, who kept the mathematical rigour in their educational systems just as the UK dumbed down.
So a hard Brexit, where the UK becomes a 3rd country, will finish for good UK specialists going to Europe - why would companies go through the red tape required to take on someone from the UK? And vice versa.
And that's where the Brexit benefit comes for dual-nationals: we can simply work in either the UK or EU, with some of our competition removed either way.
Uk specialists who won't or can't become dual nationals will be confined to the UK: in my opinion this glut of oversupply will drive down wages and rates, if IR35 and ICTS haven't already.Last edited by sasguru; 27 November 2019, 11:05.Hard Brexit now!

When we play football, after one team gets to 23 -1 down, there is an adjustment and the superior team swaps a player or two to even things up. If the EU had an ounce of decency they would give us someone vaguely competent and take eg Raab. Just so it's not such an embarrassing bloodbath."Don't part with your illusions; when they are gone you may still exist, but you have ceased to live" Mark TwainComment
