I have read the posts regarding Reform and illegal immigration etc, to my mind the whole issue of immigration needs to be reviwed take my case, 10 years ago i moved to germany and wed a german lady, then brexit which made me in german law a 3rd world citizen fine i got my residence card etc, we are both now retired ( 73 and 67 ) and would like to live in uk with our family and see our grandchildren also my wife wants out of Germany regarding the spread of AFD. During the 10 years in germany all my income has been taxed at source in uk, now i have to get a visa for my wife to live with me in uk, so we apply to get permanent residence takes 5 years for her at a cost of 11000 pounds and we have to have a joint income of 29000 just reduced from 34000, the ability for her to speak english (she was an interpreter for German police ) , so where in the justification for this , or do i just rock up at dover in a rubber dinghy, that is said tongue in cheek i just dont understand the immigration system. |  |

There is no justification. I don’t think people give any consideration to how any of this affects people. Before I left the university sector we lost shed loads of money through this madness, which meant saying goodbye to lots of people (we had 300+ people funded through EU projects and lost most of them, many who were just locals after a job).
Then we had foreign colleagues who’d lived here years leaving and taking up positions outside the UK because either the rules were causing problems for their families or (sadly) in some cases they’d faced personal abuse and had enough.
You can’t start to rationalise any of it, because we’re facing an ideology that’s not based in fact or logic. And there’s certainly no compassion, so they don’t care if it causes you problems. Some of us still do though. |  |

There is no justification whatsoever. Theresa May signed Article 50 in March 2017 for all intents and purposes removing us from the EU, that vacuous sack of brown stuff Johnson hammered the final nail in early 2019 after signing an agreement that was of little more worth than my 11+ exam effort of writing my name on the paper and taking a nap (I did too).
Mrs May didn’t have to invoke Article 50. She decided to on the basis that the people had decided and it had to be.
At that time the government had no idea whatsoever how it might impact on the likes of you and your colleagues. Not the faintest on the economy, Ireland, trade, collaborations, how literally anything worked. There was only one gov group in place at the time (DExEU), which was set up in July 2016 to deal with political negotiations. That was it.
When the potential impact started becoming known later in 2017 and beyond the default ministerial position was ‘the people have spoken’, whose to blame then employ as many people as they can from inside/outside the CS at any cost and pray. It was if you like current baseless Trumpesque madness a decade earlier.
So besides a now irrelevant country that leaves the likes of Starmer grovelling to Trump, a £billions every year cost/drag on the economy, it’s the likes of you, your colleagues, the people that will continue to bear the cost of an illogical, insane set of actions all based on a bogus ideology dressed up in rhetoric and lies.
But let’s not forget Farages and Trumps of this world are clever with it in the same way the Dictators were 85 years ago. Simple messages, lies and blame.
Scary times.
Edit: the risk to programmes you describe and countless more on so many different things were well known by the end of 2017. [Post edited 2 May 23:23]
