Re: Brexit Talks New Agenda.
Hi
I must admit that I am now completely confused following May's speech in the House of Commons today.
We are leaving on 31st March 2019.
We will not be controlling EU Immigration from that date, all we will be doing is Registering EU Migrants.
So what?
Most EU Countries do that already, we are one of the few who do not.
We are saying we want to stay in both the Single Market and the Customs Union for two years after leaving and during that period we will continue to pay in.
During that period we still accept that the ECJ will be in charge.
Just what was the point of triggering Article 50 if we are not ready to leave?
This is not what I voted for.
It is well over a year since we, as voters, decided to leave.
From my perspective, naff all has happened to progress that.
Those who work for the Government and have to put Brexit into practice are totally disillusioned.
Those who work in Immigration have been waiting for over a year for instructions and the Go Ahead to get a new system in place.
Amber Rudd has only just announced a review of the system, much less given the money to do what we need to do.
We have failed to recruit Trade Negotiators simply because we did not offer enough pay.
On the Customs side of things, it is even worse.
Contractors working on it have been laid off because the proposed system cannot be accommodated on the servers originally ordered.
They are awaiting instructions from the Government and additional funding.
None of this is Rocket Science, Brexit was always going to expensive initially.
I simply cannot understand why we have not just got on with it.
We are perceived as weak due to Government infighting.
It needs to stop.
