How about Europeans don't want to do the jobs either, because they can earn the same or money doing less strenuous work.

But if there's such 'grim European job news' I'd have thought they'd be swarming over here on their bikes looking for any work they could find like Norman Tebbit's Dad in the 1930s?
2007 though - That'd be when we had transitional arrangements on Romanians and Bulgarians and the quota for SAW visas had been reduced post A8 succession and was in a period of transition itself. Once those transitional arrangements were ended, along with SAW visas in 2014, there weren't too many problems. I'm sure the fall in Sterling, confusion over working rights in The UK and elements of the European media painting The UK as xenophobic #wouldhaveheppenedanyway over the last 2 years.

Except we have agreed that there will be no hard border in Northern Ireland if nothing else is agreed, and the DUP won't have the idea of customs checks between N.I. and mainland UK. So in the absence of anything being agreed, it sounds very much to me like we are in the customs union and single market.

Except that there is no hard date in it, it just says it is temporary and is expected to end by December 2021. This is like any other Government target, likely to fail to be met.

Correct. The speculation this morning before it was announced was there would be a hard date, hence David Davis agreeing with it. I see his opposite number has Tweeted a response to it all with rhetorical questions:

We've also agreed to pay the complete 'divorce' bill before we even find out whether we have a trading agreement
Britain will be legally bound to pay its £39bn Brexit divorce bill before the details of a future EU trade deal are agreed, a minister has admitted.

Brexit kicked even further down the road. It’s never going to happen is it?

If you don't think the struggles of German car manufacturers to have any sort of future sales because of their lies and arrogance has nothing to do with Brexit,then you are even dafter than I thought.If vehicle manufacturing and sales is so irrelevant,why do you keep harping on about British auto-manufacture?
Should be a giggle.

As an aside, I was at the Philharmonie Berlin on Monday night; I thought of you
Well good for you,you culture-vulture.I'm afraid the thought wasn't reciprocated from my Irish themed bar,as the Fleetwood Mac tribute was far too good for distractions!

You seem to be gloating about any negative news to do with German car manufacturers. I guess our weak consumer demand will have some influence
I'm just really concerned about the close to a million British people who are employed in a industrial of manufacturing cars on these shores. Its one of the great British manufacturing success stories of the modern era and I don't want to see it go belly up. If the Brexiteers got their way it would all been gone in a couple of years

Unless I have missed it, has anybody seen Farage on TV lately, after today he may pop his mug up above the parapet but he seems to have gone into hiding, a sure sign that after cracking open the English Sparkling Wine, things are not going well.
Oh how I would love to see Farage and Cameron in a question and answer session.
Camerons disappearance since quitting as PM is a national disgrace a total w****** of a man and a hopeless PM.

Difficult to see how UK proposal on customs aspects of IE/NI backstop will deliver a workable solution to avoid a hard border & respect integrity of the SM/CU. A backstop that is temporary is not a backstop, unless the definitive arrangement is the same as the backstop. #Brexit
