The big Brexit thread - news, updates and discussion

[Pickman's model]

Tesco put their hand in their pocket to recruit lorry drivers. Excellent news and I hope it becomes a sector norm.

Tesco offers lorry drivers £1,000 signing-on fee due to shortage

The effects of Brexit, Covid and tax changes have led to competition for workers between UK supermarkets

They're not putting their hands very far in their pockets.

A thousand quid is not insubstantial.

A thousand quid is not insubstantial.

About 5/8 of a month's (gross) wages. Be better if they said ~£10.50 an hour isn't enough and we'll start our drivers pay at £15 from now on. Yeh a grand is nice but Tesco's are filthy rich and could easily afford rather more.

Fantastic, Penguin Cafe are playing in Lisbon and Porto in November . I could double that up with a tour of the artisan beer micro breweries.

Turn up with a South Georgia new homes for the rich poster and confuse the fuck out of them

Nice to see a British band touring Europe. They said it couldn't be done...

The border issues continue with the EU yet again being generous with the time they allow the UK to renegotiate the protocol already negotiated and agreed. That was news yesterday over five years since Brexit voters deliberately voted to leave, but voted with no regard to the situation in Ireland.
The issue is really about two different systems side by side with a land border in Ireland a special feature. When will exit voters especially tell us the solution they had in mind for that border?
Any variation on ‘I voted strategically in order to bring about a United Ireland, and that was in the forefront of my mind when in the polling booth’ is disingenuous lying bollocks in my mind.
Lexiters got firmly and deeply into bed with the likes of Rees Mogg and Patel and others and no amount of backsliding revisionist equivocation changes that.
Go on Lexit voters, there is a 300 ish mile land border between the two different systems you created, with over 200 crossing points, and people who inhabit property spanning the border…sort that one out.
Cue a personal attack on me for mentioning it…again.
Good way of wriggling out of responsibility for the mess Lexiters created.

Both memes have the same font. Did you make them yourself philosophical ?

Who said that no British bands could tour Europe play two dates in Portugal, any more?


It's never been a problem for the more well established bands.

Yes they’ve got a cult profile mainly aided by the Penguin Cafe Orchestra legacy . They are good in their own but benefit from the lineage .

Question time is it?
Did you vote leave?
If you did, what solution did you have in mind for the land border on the island of Ireland with two different systems on either side?

I was looking at them thinking "you're never in your 60s "

I think the originals still play now and again but they might not make the flight here

Actually I spent a good morning looking for a Penguin Cafe artwork poster last week. Really interesting if bizarre art work on their original albums designed by the woman who was the subject of ‘See Emily play’ by Pink Floyd .

People will sneer that this isn't a real tour.

Two dates in one single country isn't a 'European tour.' Not even for a stylist or a celebrity.

In fact they'll be right snobby cunts about it and mock the creative's work in arranging anything in these Covid times. The same kind of cunts that think a few dates in Germany equates to a European tour.

I’m not bothered if it’s a tour or not , I like them , I’m pleased that they are over here .

I'm delighted for you, honestly. And I'm happy the band have managed to make it work as it's really not easy.

Sorry, who are you going on about here? And why?

I'd just like to say that in fact they don't use the same font or even typeface.
