Brexit is destroying Britain

Funnily enough, I feel I have more reason than most, ie I actually would like to return to the uk (probably not England) but thanks to June 16 my wife can’t/won’t 🤦.
However, we are where we are so best just to make the best of it …
Herself here won't go near the UK now. She's delegated me for relatives funerals etc.
I'm hoping my son or daughter does them.
Too much to get on with here.

I speak to real people too, was in England last weekend, people getting on with their lives, never heard brexit mentioned. Of course if you have a bee in your bonnet about something you will always find someone to agree with you.
It never gets mentioned by anyone I talk to in person. only really see much about it on this thread where it seems to be an obsession of dredgers in France

Serious question.
If you made your home over there for so long and it's a nice place. Why do you want to return to the UK? It's going down the pan..
 
Pssst…..
The thing is baby, that the worst elements of the Irish economy, most notably housing, are OUR problems. OUR’s to solve. Inventing a Brexit style boogey man, and blaming others such as the EU, is not a trap we are falling into.
You, on the other hand, were led a merry dance by an eclectic mix of economic bandits, aided by Putin, to shoot yourselves in both feet.

Thats a trap Paddy is a little too smart to get caught in. Know what I’m sayin….
You actually believe all that don’t you. 😂 Bless your simple soul

Bloody hell, won't get better.
They said their "most immediate concern" was the new minimum salary threshold of £48,100 for overseas veterinary surgeons coming to the UK on a Skilled Worker visa, which came into force last month.

Feeling of belonging- ie personal history/link
Wasn't it established on another thread that your wife can move here so what has June 16 got to do with it ? you were already living in France before that weren't you ?
