The Polish and Others are leaving.
Hi
Brexit is already having having an impact.
The high earners, the ones we need due to skill shortages are leaving in droves.
Zac and Derek are leaving, my Polish friends who lived with me part time.
No longer feel welcome and the fall in the £ means they cannot afford to stay.
Net result, a loss of over £20k in UK tax paid and three UK redundancies and a £15k a year loss in rent for their Industrial Unit.
The Polish Paediatrician who stayed with me for a while is also going, to Germany, so are three Spanish Nurses.
Piotyr, the head Cheesemaker at a big local concern, is leaving next month for the Netherlands.
Manek and Damian are leaving, Hydraulics Engineers, going to work for Liebherr, leaving a big local exporter in the lurch.
All of them on the list of skills shortages we have.
Closer to home. My Son has disappeared off to Taiwan.
My daughter is disappearing off to Germany.
Not bragging, but they both payed Higher Rate Tax.
My daughters Company, who she works for, paid around £240 million in tax here in the UK, we will lose around £150 million because of Brexit.
We must accept that times will not be good for a few years.
Time to accept that life cannot continue as it was.
It is a price that I am willing to pay.
Get real Folks, Brexit is going to hurt, it will hurt Pensioners most, but it is a price worth paying, for our kids future and our Grandkids future.
