Hi remain and leave folks,

Pull up a coffee and sit yourself down. I need your help.

Actually, @JHayestetra needs your help. So, first, please follow him.

As we all know, Brexit has had an infinite number of unforeseen consequences. Jonathan told me one.

1/n
Let me tell you about Jonathan.

Jonathan is paralysed and for 31 years he has recruited the live-in carers he depends on from Denmark.

The Danes get easier access to University if they do this work in their GAP year. Which is a great idea!

2/n
Except, of course, Brexit has stopped it because the government was keen to stop foreign workers going to the UK.

Which is fine.

If there are enough local workers to do the job. Which there aren't.

Meanwhile, every day, people needing care are suffering.

3/n

RULES APPLYING TO BRITS VISITING FRANCE

There are rules for third-country nationals visiting France. These are not new rules. They are standard rules. You will need to comply with them if you are planning to come on holiday to France. I set them out here to help.

1/n
At the border, you may be asked for three pieces of information:

1. Motive for your stay in France
This can be satisfied by:
- for tourism: a hotel or other accommodation reservation

2/n
- in the absence of a hotel reservation, the traveller has to prove that he possesses means of living of at least 120€ per day – see point 2, documents from a travel agency;
- for a professional visit: letter from the employer, invitation from a French firm or org;

Dear Scotland

You might not want to listen to me. I used to be a Tory. Like, I used to work for them. I like to think that it was at a time when they were moderate but we can argue about that some other time.

Last time around, I was vehemently pro-No.

But they lied.

1/7
They lied when they told you that Scotland's place was as an equal partner in a UK at the heart of Europe. I can see that now. And looking back, I am sorry to say that I did not see it before. But it has been a lie for a long, long time.

Scotland is a trophy, not a partner.

2/7
Scotland has been the English magic money tree for a long old time. They took the oil revenue and 'spaffed it up the wall'. The idiots didn't even invest it for the future. They literally wasted it.

Today is significant for Britain but not for the reasons you're thinking

In the late 69s and early 70s, Britain lost the final bits of its empire. They were faced with two questions "Who are we and what is our place in the world?"
Concerned at the potential economic strength of the fledgling European community coming together on its doorstep, rather than coming to terms with the answers to those questions, it sensibly decided to join them.
Today is the moment of reckoning. Britain must come to terms with its new position in the world.

Small.

Alone.

Entirely under the control of whichever large trading bloc it ends up submitting to.

No vetos. No special treatment. No rebates.

As Brexiters are keen to point out, the EU Budget will be massively hit once the huge financial contribution made by the UK has been removed.

To help you understand the extent of the problem, I have created an explainer.

THREAD
Here is the daily extra contribution that EU citizens will need to make as a result of the UK leaving.

5 cents.
However, EU budget contributions are proportionate to economic activity/size. So this presupposes that the EU does not find a way of replacing the trade it does with the UK...

Which it already has.

JAPANESE SOY SAUCE - A PRIMER

Here I will set out all you need to know about Japanese Soy Sauce imports and Brexit.

Let's start with a doozy.

1) It's "soy sauce", not "soya sauce".
2) Your main imported Jananese soy sauce is the excellent Kikkoman brand.

3) Soy sauce from Japan under EU import rules carries a 0% tariff. So it would not be cheaper under the UK trade deal.
4) You Kikkoman Soy Sauce comes from... the Netherlands. For those not paying attention, that's in the EU.

5) This is the factory.
