Enormously. The sad fact that you had to respond to it- did that make you feel better?

The bureaucratic costs are in the short term, the £350 million/week is for life!!! So screw that up your mile high, non-reality, arse.
The £350 million per week was lie.

But you still haven't conceded its truth even though your beloved Nigel admitted it the next day.

Negotiations are going well. We seem to have accidentally put an albino baboon in charge of foreign policy.

Have you got autocorrect on? Does your version change "buffoon" like my one does?

*******
The Brexit black hole is starting to take shape.

The U.K. will be forced to borrow an extra £58.7 billion ($72.6 billion) over the next five years because of an economic slowdown triggered by its vote to leave the European Union, according to the Office of Budget Responsibility.

The independent government agency said that growth will slump to just 1.4% next year, down from 2.2% predicted in March. That would be the weakest growth since 2009, according to IMF data.

Yes, it's looking pretty grim, but the Brexiters will never admit that they screwed us over.

So we are going to pay to have access to something in the future that we pay to have access to now.

And down the rabbit hole we go.

Presumably, it means that the government has focused on no foreigners as the bottom line for their Brexit deal.   They might accept the single market, and presumably they are being pressured to do this by business and the City, but definitely no nasty Poles and French people.   Well, I don't know, but neither does anybody else.

Also, there may be exemptions for some areas such as agriculture, so that E. Europeans can still be employed for those nasty 6am shifts.

More information from a journalist friend: you can be in the single market, but leave the customs union, and therefore do trade deals with anybody.   Also, you are out of CAP and Fisheries.   I think there is a problem with the court (ECJ), but this seems confused.   Any advance on this?   Rather similar to Flexcit (Richard North), that is, a gradual Brexit, which is flexible.

I doubt that very much. Remember the government are tories and the tories are in thrall to business and the markets. And those people willing be telling them that loss of the ability to recruit in a flexible labour market, effectively to access low skilled workers when brits won't do the job, and high skilled workers where there is a shortage of brits with appropriate skills is essential.

We tend to forget the half of immigration is from non EU countries, often half way around the world. That migration has been completely under the control of the UK government for ever - yet they haven't clamped down on nurses from the Philipeans or Nigerian doctors or cleaners from Ghana. Why, because the labour force market requires them. And so it will continue after brexit, no doubt with some sop to try to make it look like they are tougher.

Well, I agree really.  My original post did mention exemptions and so on.   It will be a nominal control of immigration, because in fact, nobody does control it, since labour shortages can develop very quickly.   Also, probably without immigration, the economy would sink.
