    Anyone know the rules on standard services firms dealing with continental firms when no deal happens?

    I have a bevvy of pitches in Jan with Dutch firms.

    If you stay in the UK, then you are working in the UK. In financial services you can't solicit business in the EU, but you can take it if it comes your way.
    No I mean for my line of work - recruitment - is there a barrier for a Dutch firm using a British firm for their hiring?
    A Dutch firm can hire a UK firm. Employees can work in the Uk and may even be able to attend meetings in Holland depending on how precious the Dutch are.

    Would you need a work visa?
  • If our resident Brexiteers are representative then any downside of Brexit will be seen as punishment rather than losing the benefits of membership.

    If you are Boris this means you are better off with no deal as the shortcomings of a sh1t deal might be seen as your fault.
  • This is click bait and obviously has worked for the stupid :smiley:

    Dover TAP gets implemented so regularly it is not news worthy apart from on the local travel report as it changes speed limits. Something as simple as fog in the Channel can trigger it. It gets triggered regularly over the summer holidays because of the additional holiday traffic.

    There is obviously additional lorry traffic at the moment due to the knock on effects of container port issues.

    As I have said before , if you are exporting in January it is sensible to divert to a port away from Dover, until the noise settles down.
  • Ugh just found out a super bright pole (neuroscientist) who was great fun in my old cycling club left the U.K. in October to return to the EU. ☹️

    Really sorry to see her go.

    It's happening... lost two colleagues in 2020, both went back to their countries as they found positions there (one EU one not EU). Another friend from other Uni just left the UK to retire early in the Canary islands and take residency there...

    It's happening, and we are not losing the benefit seekers and the pesky goodfornothing, we are losing people who earn > 50k and their jobs are not going to be advertised because there is too much uncertainty around

    You are so f@cking stupid you can’t even see that the tweet and article say it’s “not Brexit”


    Honestly your reading comprehension is embarrassingly poor. What do you do for a living?
  • Jesus, you really don't read anything, do you?

    That said, where the tweet says "not brexit", what exactly is prompting the stockpiling mentioned in the article as one of the three causes?

    Yes if working in Holland. The question is around what is work. Most countries allow business meetings and conferences, so it shouldn't be any different than having a US client for example. That said the EU is not most countries.

    I'm waiting for the red EU carpet before moving. Unfortunately my first experience of toe dipping has put me off for sometime.

    It's the same four RN patrol boats that have been there all along. They're not gunboats. They're not going to be 'protecting our fish' in any meaningful sense.

    I imagine they're hoping that the EU will respect international law...

    I would also think that they wouldn't need to arrest many people or impound many boats for compliance to be pretty good.

    SC has already answered: surprised you don't know this, given it is directly related to your job. Seems there are some advantages to not being a professional ;)

    I don't really understand how vaccine transportation is a big deal for vehicles leaving the UK yet. Have I missed something?

    Stockpiling should be over in less than 3 weeks, so a temporary issue.

    Yes, it seems sensible to try to complete what you can before that much uncertainty, both logistical and financial.

    THEN we get brexit.

    Who knows? I doubt it would be that difficult to avoid 4 boats if some wanted to take a chance. Point was that it was just a headline.

  • I certainly can't see any situation where more than 4 french boats would do something illegal.

    Why did you post it in the Brexit thread then?

    It's your usual tactic of snide commentary and you get all pissy when you again get called out on it

    Another Project Fear lie from remoaners gets exposed

    Any remoaners going to admit to have been gullible to be sucked in by this one or are you all going to lie and say you never believed it?

    What sort of country would let others break the law with no consequence. Try sailing round the world and disobeying various countries rules and see how long it takes before you get your boat impounded or heavily fined. The BVI were fining US yachts 10k the other week for passing through their waters. We should be impounding fishing boats caught in our waters as let's face it this is what France will be doing.
  • So I understand that fisheries is a devolved thing, and Scotland has 3 boats and 2 planes to police its waters.

    So Boris has an added incentive to not back down on fishing as it skewers the Parish counsellor with either option that she decides to implement. This gets better and better :smiley:

    I look forward to the krankie explaining her light touch approach to Scottish fishermen. AIS gives you a pretty good idea what commercial vessels are in your waters and making non compliance a 25k fine sorts out non compliance pretty quickly.

    Hang on - you post lots of things in here that you say aren't due to brexit. Are you planning to stop?

    Yep. It was the "4 ships", and I remember that number was going to help farages crusade too.
