I wish I had a quid for every time this question was asked over the past six years.
In life we find that we cannot always have what we want as individuals. Somethings are far bigger and more important than ‘I want’.

I get the impression that you've either never used Agile in an engineering or project context, or you just consider it a buzzword for your own personal trumpeting.

Ironic that you celebrate the creation of 60 jobs purely to duplicate the work already done in the EU. All hail unnecessary bureaucracy.
Correct never been involved in engineering nor project context. I had to look up on Google for some basic info’.That you find that to be something to criticise is a shame on you. I took the time and trouble to have at least a minimum of understanding of whatever it is your sulking over.
Probably because you think you've formed a balanced and reasonable opinion based on 2 minutes of Google whacking. You've latched onto the 60 jobs created whilst ignoring the lost productivity as UK businesses wrestle with both UKCA and CE marking.

And so the people that actually understand the complexity of the issue and live through the difficulties actually understand what a **** show it really is.

:yawn: six years and stil bleating with the usual arrogance served as a side dish. Wrestle on, that’s life.

That's fine, just remember that Americans thought they'd seen the back of Trump, but look what's happened today.

You and your kind will always be responsible for the ****-show we have today, even after BoJo and brex****eers have filled their pockets and left politics.

If we rejoined tomorrow we could have an influence on the regulations surrounding aircraft design, production and maintenance which EuASA are changing in March 2023. (Changes to part 21 regulations, which in reality seem quite sensible on the face of it).

However, we will just sit back and be a rule taker rather than a rule maker. Sovereignty rules! smile

Did you and ‘your kind’ give a moments thought to people left behind by being in the EU and how the FOM suppressed wages at the lower end. No of course not! And that is the crux of this historic shift in politics, a complete disregard for half of the working electorate. Blame lies with you and ‘your sort’.

How's that wage growth at the lower end doing now FoM has been removed? It's doing great, right?

You've added 1 and 1 and yet again you've run out of thumbs but "durr EU!" Is to blame

That sort of language, the words of absolutism and intolerance, have no place in any rational debate.

If we want to avoid past errors and the error of Trumpism, we should pay heed to being less divisive and more inclusive. Politics are not binary, not black and white, but shades of grey.

Wasn't aware the Brexit vote was a 1-10 scale. Did I get the wrong ballot paper?

I don’t often post in these threads, as it brings out the worst in PH. But this I must respond to.

If we’re apportioning “blame”, for what good it does, then it must surely lie with those who orchestrated the leave campaign closely followed by those who voted to leave. The attempts to cast blame onto those who didn’t want to leave are absurd.

We’re out, like it or not. But please, if you are a Brexit supporter and find things aren’t going the way you thought they would, please don’t try to throw blame at people who didn’t want Brexit. Blame instead the people who ran the Leave campaign on multiple false promises (E.g. the amazing boost for fishing), and outright lies (e.g Turkey joining the EU and mass migration from Turkey).

Don’t blame those who didn’t want it, most of us predicted that it wasn’t going to be the plain sailing that was sold by the Leave campaign.

You need to read the exchange of posts for context.
People who insult and disrespect can expect a reply that is in the same tone.

Replying with respect to posts that carry this tone is clearly a pointless exercise. Go shout in ‘Speakers Corner’ somebody is bound to listen. there.

We have full employment and if you have a look around you will see the ‘real World’ wages for low paid are certainly increasing. The problem we have atm is labour shortage, hence employers offering higher rates in each sector in an attempt to attract labour.
Try to respond without the childish remarks maybe.

That's a blatant lie.

Labour shortage or not, pay is not rising and lower paid jobs (which typically don't see bonus payments) are falling in real terms.

Why lie? What do you gain from it?

I’m not though.

Your assertion that Brexit was binary is false. Many, on both sides, were deeply conflicted. Many too, felt it was a question that should not have been asked, a choice they were forced into making.

Only fools are dogmatically certain.

“What gets us into trouble is not what we don't know. It's what we know for sure that just ain't so.”

Only tools that can read a binary ballot paper? Perhaps you need to remember the options we were given? laugh

We do indeed have full employment, and record numbers of job vacancies, with difficulties filling them.

I think workers are right to ask for increased pay, not only because of inflation but simply market forces, their value has increased. With employers unwilling to pay, it looks like we're in for some months of chaos.

A chap in this article reckons he had 8,000 EU applicants that he had to reject, a far higher percentage than previously.
