Sheesh!

You could start with the first two people I mentioned. Brexit removes us from the EU. Their firm needs their department to stay within. Hence they have to move. Don't know what people having to move who had no intention a few years ago fits into if not this.

As for the rest of your rather desperate attempt, one can never make linear predictions but I know from simply knowing them and speaking with them recently that Brexit played a big part in their decisions. The worsening economic outlook, the unleashing of overt racism and rise of far-right politics etc...it's always hard to pinpoint one point in time or one event that tips you over the edge but as they accumulate they just have a way of making the alternative much more attractive. And as one of the group escapes then it makes it easier for the rest to pluck up the courage to jump.



You are still not addressing the point.

The couple you mention had no intention or will to leave the UK because of Brexit. Companies have been relocating people for years. Randomly picking a couple who you said could not be bothered to look for other jobs in the UK just indicates they fancy a stint abroad. If you said they searched high and low for new jobs in the UK before deciding to move abroad you may have some small point in this particular example.

As for all the others I simply repeated the information you gave me. You now try and justify these examples further by now adding other possible reasons for their move. Claiming "overt racism and rise of far right" in the UK as a reason to move to the EU seems very feeble since most countries in the EU have much bigger factions holding these views than the UK.

My take from the above is that whatever answer you get you will never accept. Brexit will always be blameless in your eyes. Companies relocating because of brexit will be lumped in with every other country who has ever left, therefore nothing to do with brexit. People having to move to keep their jobs is nothing to do with brexit because they could choose to go on the dole and try to look for another job. Me not giving you their entire life story, not saying how much they looked round, spoke to family and friends first and basically turned their lives upside down is nothing to do with brexit; they simply fancied a change.

I'm wondering what kind of example you would accept to be honest.

It is accepted by EVERYONE, he says. Well how do you explain the following:

Migrants from the EU contribute £2,300 more to the exchequer each year in net terms than the average adult, the analysis for the government has found.

And, over their lifetimes, they pay in £78,000 more than they take out in public services and benefits - while the average UK citizen’s net lifetime contribution is zero.

Total and utter nonsense.

Don't leave!

If we do get a proper Brexit, we're going to need skilled and talented people, who are prepared to work hard and play by the rules. That certainly seems to cover the many and various postings from Polish people I've seen who have lived here all their lives, paid into the system but now feel unwelcome. Your talents are going to be needed but more importantly, you are going to enjoy living in a free country, where racists are going to get such a major wake up call when they realise they didn't read the bit about us being able to compete for talent on a global basis.

Britain hasn't changed because of Brexit - and spare me statistics on the rise of 'hate crimes due to Brexit'. Because something happens subsequantly it doesn't happen consequently and now, for the first time in British jurisprudence, you can be criminalised not only for what you think but for wahat someone else thinks you might think!

Brexit in itself is nothing. What we as a country make of Brexit - that's the future. That's the opportunity. That's what we need good people to stick around and fight for.
