Yes, the Netherlands are enjoying the Brexit benefits

I did suggest a year ago that these would be good areas to invest in

Tattoo Removal Parlours and Dutch Warehousing. Trust me :wink:

It's almost as if people don't want to take advantage of Brexit benefits :wink:

apparantly moving here as a tax dodge so they can pollute the planet and get away with it, not too disimilar to putting raw sewage in your rivers and avoiding scrutiny

Aw....don't spoil Naziboy's fantasy. :(
Those clips he posts and his mate Bellend are the only things he has left to cling to.

The terms 'racist' and 'fascist' are bandied about too much.... but can these categories be applied to right wing propagandist Lord haw haw Heaver?... Umm... a few observations on his political stance might help us decide....

Michael Heaver
The co-owner of the right-wing Westmonster website terms his ethnicity “milk bottle white” and claims there are “tons of burkas” on the streets of East London. Naturally a fan of Marine Le Pen and Donald Trump and of the belief that England is the land of “soft justice”, Michael Heaver loathes what he describes as the “pathetic” Hope Not Hate campaign and claims Nigel Farage is responsible for the rise in the usage of the usage of “political elite” and “establishment” as descriptions. He previously worked as UKIP’s head of online engagement and was once mocked as “another useful idiot” and a “remarkably unpleasant child”

When is a cheap food going to arrive? (Bojo's freebies for Dalesford Organics doesn't count)

When you say tax dodge, you are referring to the local tax rate on dividends, for which the Dutch shareholders pay more than their UK equivalents? Hardly Panama papers stuff is it?

Personally I wouldn’t make much of it, this is standard corporate procedure, it is a no brainier to consolidate its governance model, Anglo Dutch Unilever did similar recently too.

The symbology of this is far greater though, particularly in Holland and the EU, who will see this development and wonder why the UK (outside the EU) is a more attractive place to base itself.

This eats away at the credibility of the pro EU doom mongers running around and pointing to any negative developments as being de facto consequences of leaving the EU.

Het is zoals het is, as ex Shell exec and current Dutch PM Mark Rutte would say……

Great news!

Is this a de facto positive consequence of leaving the EU do you know?

You need to stop damping your pantaloons otherwise you will get sore downstairs and need a good talcing.

We are out……get over it.

Why the unnecessarily rude response followed by a worn out slogan?

If you don't know the answer, just say... there's no shame in that....

Why not address the question instead of trying to take out the questioner?

This is more good news thanks to the Germans !

Lidl to become UK's highest-paying supermarket

We were promised cheaper food post Brexit, thank goodness the Germans have raced to our rescue !

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-59306232

One day I hope people will ask " How come Lidl prices are so cheap even though they pay the highest wages of all the High Street supermarkets ? "
