Either I blinked and missed it, or we haven't done one of these for a while. So, rainbows and unicorns, brexit benefits, where are we this month? Anybody able to tell me yet how we're all going to be so much richer and happier? How the fishermen and farmers are jumping with joy? Come on, there's got to be something, considering it's now cost us more than the total amount that we paid in over forty years...

No it seems it just another stupid brexit thread that some remain voting people find funny i guess, it seems to be you guys that keep talking about unicorns and blue passports and crap never someone who voted for Brexit, have you noticed that??, I didn't vote for it either but these threads are just pointless and polly already told everyone that voted for Brexit that they were fuck tards or whatever it was you said about a week ago in the other thread, which achieves the square root of fuck all. Absolutely fucking pointless, no wonder the politics section gets less and less interest every day.

"Is the Brexit debate still rumbling on lol it was voted for by us all. And the majority voted OUT. "

Of course the debate is over, everyone voted, a slim majority voted out. That's historical fact.

No, what I'm asking is to have the amazing benefits listed, the things that have made it not just worthwhile but a positive leap forward for the country. You know like the brexit lobby promised in order to get the votes?

But I need to have the good stuff pointed out to me now because it seems that I'm a bit thick and am misunderstanding the news reports. So please, lets have some rainbows, I could do with some good news. Given that I can't have chicken.

The only ‘benefit’ that I have seen on here is that Brexit isn’t as shit as ‘some ‘ people had suggested it would be, I guess that is a positive

Oh that's good. Though the last time I went to tesco the entire chilled chicken section was completely empty. Six or seven chiller units and not a chicken breast, wing, thigh, or whole body to be found. The cupboard was bare.

Still it gave me an excuse to buy beef instead. Oh, sorry no it didn't, beef was empty as well. Cauliflower cheese? No cauliflower...

I ended up with fish, at least there was a choice there. Between one pack of smoked haddock, best before date the day after. And the other pack of smoked haddock, best before date the day after. I had smoked haddock for tea the day after...

No thankfully I am not being forced too, but these threads just never improve anything or bring any benefits either, they just create arguments and division, but maybe thats whats some people want as they seem to thrive on it. To answer your question, as regards benefits I have no idea, i didn't vote for it and personally I am no worse off at all, if anything things have improved for me, my company is booming so lots of hrs and plenty of money to be earned, I have had no trouble sourcing any item i have wanted to buy and don't intend on travelling during a pandemic anyway so there has been no down side for me either.

If it was not for the odd news item and of course these threads nothing much has changed for me. Certainly no collapse as some said. Still my weekly shop has not gone up and not seen a single shortage. Work is stupidly busy, wages gone up more than expected and company recruiting heavily. Those things could well be down to the pandemic recovery as much as anything

There seems to be plenty of businesses booming all over the UK actually, check out the latest unemployment figures and vacancies etc they back this up if you doubt it, so it seems that the majority of businesses are doing just fine.

Not every business was heavily invested in the EU market so therefore any brexit issues will be minor for them, the company I work for is a good example of this I guess, the EU was our smallest market by far so no loss at all to us.

"Plenty of businesses booming"?

Is this because of Brexit or because the economy having dipped after Brexit and Covid it has improved since its lowest point in recent history?

Do you also understand the difference between "more jobs" and "more vacancies"?

I'll take a stab at it. If I understand correctly then vacancies are not necessary new jobs but workers required to fill existing roles. For instance if some overseas workers have gone home then the jobs they used to do need filling. More jobs would be brand new jobs. For instance the expansion of companies that have been in the news the last few months. Or I would assume when companies move here like the Amazon film thing relocating to the UK, Wendy's moving back to the UK sort of thing.

Am I even close

Yes I do understand the difference between the two, and in the case of my employer its new jobs as we are trying to increase headcount due to our business growing in the last couple of years and although we take at least 6 new apprentices every year we still do not have enough skilled people and I know we are not the only ones trying to recruit in my area. Like I explained earlier though the EU is very very small market for us so brexit has had no effect, and covid has caused us some issues with staff but it has not really affected our business at all to be fair.

Exactly. So more vacancies just tells us that there are more jobs not being done.

Not a benefit.

So, your business = plenty of businesses?

Because your business or those in your sector are expanding, that means it's happening throughout the economy?

Is your expansion due directly to Brexit?

I already explained brexit has had no affect one way or the other to us, the EU is our smallest market as I said. It seems to me in general all things considered, brexit and covid etc, that our economy on is doing pretty well at the minute, so no, from that I take it a fair few are doing ok. Although I don't dispute though that not "every" business is booming. But then they never are.

I ended up with fish, at least there was a choice there. Between one pack of smoked haddock, best before date the day after. And the other pack of smoked haddock, best before date the day after. I had smoked haddock for tea the day after..."

Oh dear poor you do you only have a shit tesco,s where you live? No shortage of anything here.

So far then the benefits are:

1. Nandos has no chicken.

2. Decaf coffee is off the menu.

3. A business in Derbyshire is doing okay because none of its trading involves Europe.

4. The pound has gone up against the Euro to a point where it is still a lot less than before the vote.

5. Sometimes it's possible to get smoked haddock for tea.

6. Things are not quite as shit as some people thought they might be.

7. We have the same freedoms we always had apart from the ones that we have lost.

8. We have blue(ish) passports but they have to be made by a foreign firm because it would be uneconomic to make them in the UK.

9. At some unknown date between five years from now and infinity "it will all be worthwhile".

It's not exactly the vote winning list that was trumpeted in the run up to the referendum is it?

So the chicken shortage is due to brexit not due to covid?

The coffee shortage is due to brexit even though no eu country grows coffee beans not due to covid in S America?

The pound fluctuated before brexit but you care to ignore that point.

If you cant get smoked haddock i suggest you are really not looking nothing to do with brexit.

Yes ive got a new blue passport and its lovely,ive no problem where its made if it keeps the price down.

Yes you can only spend 6 months a year in an eu country now i will give you that how often did you do that before brexit?

Your doom and gloom predictions are on par with the doom and gloom ones when the government decided to open up.

The business i work for is not in Derbyshire that was some one else, we are a global company with 44k employees, and I also didn't say we do no trade with Europe, I said its our "smallest market". Laugh and take the piss all you want, you seem as if you dont like when things are pointed out to you they are not quite as shit as you would like everyone to believe.

why can't things be both because of brexit but not just because of brexit?

Eg chickens. The industry is pointing towards brexit not helping. Maybe it is making coping with the pingdemoc that much harder. Is probably both.

Coffee. Largely covid. No idea why idea decaff is being called out. That could be brexit I guess. Or covid again.

Yes, the pound fluctuates. But the scale and timing of the correction looks ominous. Feels more like noise than most volatility.

Glad your happy costs have been kept down. Can only assume you were not bothered about FoM?

I used to wonder how the Remain side lost the Referendum. After all, it was a nailed on certainty that they'd win. Even Nigel Farage went to bed convinced he'd lost.

Reading some of the responses on here, its now getting somewhat clearer!

No im not bothered about FOM if anyone wants to go to an eu country for more than 3 months in every six just apply for a visa like they would anywhere else if they meet the requirements im sure they will get one. I am glad we have got rid of the discrimination where if you were European you had a right to work,live etc in the uk when people from outside the uk who maybe better qualified were denied the right because of where they were born.

i meant removing FoM wasn't a reason for voting to leave given it helped reduce costs to you. Probably should allow more nationalitiesnin to avoid being prejudiced about where one was born.... I ask due to yoyr passport answer where you appeared okay with it being done outside of the UK in order to reduce the cost.

This made me think about the whole system and how protectionist it is, just because where someone came from it gave them a right that others didnt have.Why for example should a doctor,chemist,scientist etc have more of a right to work here than someone who may be even more qualified ?

I get that, although makes me think what defines borders and countries and the like. Did you miss the word European out in your last sentence ? I didn't quite follow.

"So far then the benefits are:

1. Nandos has no chicken.

2. Decaf coffee is off the menu.

3. A business in Derbyshire is doing okay because none of its trading involves Europe.

4. The pound has gone up against the Euro to a point where it is still a lot less than before the vote.

5. Sometimes it's possible to get smoked haddock for tea.

6. Things are not quite as shit as some people thought they might be.

7. We have the same freedoms we always had apart from the ones that we have lost.

8. We have blue(ish) passports but they have to be made by a foreign firm because it would be uneconomic to make them in the UK.

9. At some unknown date between five years from now and infinity "it will all be worthwhile".

It's not exactly the vote winning list that was trumpeted in the run up to the referendum is it?So the chicken shortage is due to brexit not due to covid?

The coffee shortage is due to brexit even though no eu country grows coffee beans not due to covid in S America?

The pound fluctuated before brexit but you care to ignore that point.

If you cant get smoked haddock i suggest you are really not looking nothing to do with brexit.

Yes ive got a new blue passport and its lovely,ive no problem where its made if it keeps the price down.

Yes you can only spend 6 months a year in an eu country now i will give you that how often did you do that before brexit?

Your doom and gloom predictions are on par with the doom and gloom ones when the government decided to open up. why can't things be both because of brexit but not just because of brexit?

Eg chickens. The industry is pointing towards brexit not helping. Maybe it is making coping with the pingdemoc that much harder. Is probably both.

Coffee. Largely covid. No idea why idea decaff is being called out. That could be brexit I guess. Or covid again.

Yes, the pound fluctuates. But the scale and timing of the correction looks ominous. Feels more like noise than most volatility.

Glad your happy costs have been kept down. Can only assume you were not bothered about FoM?No im not bothered about FOM if anyone wants to go to an eu country for more than 3 months in every six just apply for a visa like they would anywhere else if they meet the requirements im sure they will get one. I am glad we have got rid of the discrimination where if you were European you had a right to work,live etc in the uk when people from outside the uk who maybe better qualified were denied the right because of where they were born. i meant removing FoM wasn't a reason for voting to leave given it helped reduce costs to you. Probably should allow more nationalitiesnin to avoid being prejudiced about where one was born.... I ask due to yoyr passport answer where you appeared okay with it being done outside of the UK in order to reduce the cost. Why not we buy loads of stuff from other countries are you saying that you thought brexit was all about cutting ourselves off from the rest of the world and only use stuff that we produce?nope. But I thought removal of FoM was because it depressed UK wages. Appreciate this may not have been your position so not seeking to put words in your mouth here...I know all leavers don't speak as one. That's why there is debate all round !! The eu made it very clear that FOM would go if we left the eu and to me personally it was a small price to pay to be rid of the eu freeloaders such as the commissioners ,presidents, and meps along with the whole little club they had made themselves. This made me think about the whole system and how protectionist it is, just because where someone came from it gave them a right that others didnt have.Why for example should a doctor,chemist,scientist etc have more of a right to work here than someone who may be even more qualified ? I get that, although makes me think what defines borders and countries and the like. Did you miss the word European out in your last sentence ? I didn't quite follow. "

yes i did sorry i thought it was pretty obvious as we were talking about the eu.

"what happened to the british stiff upper lip lol so many cry babies....

more jobs than applicants and not a fence in sight! Wow, well done priti boris and co lol

wait, can i hear something, theres a tidal wave coming my way lol i might move to afghanistan, theyve got the balance right? america then? iceland? lol

No tidal wave, but I will repeat:

Do you also understand the difference between "more jobs" and "more vacancies"?

I'll take a stab at it. If I understand correctly then vacancies are not necessary new jobs but workers required to fill existing roles. For instance if some overseas workers have gone home then the jobs they used to do need filling. More jobs would be brand new jobs. For instance the expansion of companies that have been in the news the last few months. Or I would assume when companies move here like the Amazon film thing relocating to the UK, Wendy's moving back to the UK sort of thing.

Am I even close

Exactly. So more vacancies just tells us that there are more jobs not being done.

Not a benefit."

Vacancies for existing jobs means that but new jobs also produce vacancies so it's not as clear cut to imply its just existing jobs. My post mentions companies expanding in the UK and moving to the uk. These are creating new jobs, New positions and new vacancies

"french police bothering people in cafes ref vaccine

australians fighting in the streets

new zealand back in lock down

but brits who totally went against eu.... doing much better...

greece and hungary building fences, like donald trump but uk isnt (yet)

id like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony.....

The UK didn't need a fence. It has built a sea wall to cut itself off from itself!

Yes but, we will see the benefit in ???? Days, business is booming for one random couple in Derbyshire and we can still buy food, so much winning

There seems to be plenty of businesses booming all over the UK actually, check out the latest unemployment figures and vacancies etc they back this up if you doubt it, so it seems that the majority of businesses are doing just fine.

Not every business was heavily invested in the EU market so therefore any brexit issues will be minor for them, the company I work for is a good example of this I guess, the EU was our smallest market by far so no loss at all to us.

"Plenty of businesses booming"?

Is this because of Brexit or because the economy having dipped after Brexit and Covid it has improved since its lowest point in recent history?

Do you also understand the difference between "more jobs" and "more vacancies"?

Yes I do understand the difference between the two, and in the case of my employer its new jobs as we are trying to increase headcount due to our business growing in the last couple of years and although we take at least 6 new apprentices every year we still do not have enough skilled people and I know we are not the only ones trying to recruit in my area. Like I explained earlier though the EU is very very small market for us so brexit has had no effect, and covid has caused us some issues with staff but it has not really affected our business at all to be fair."

Where I work is slightly different. Although we are also increasing head count as fast as possible we also deal a lot with EU countries. There was some confusion in the first week or so after brexit and fully expected to see laptops being thrown but it settled down thankfully

900,000 vacancies, 1.5m unemployed. A lot of the latter could do the former

There is zero indication that Brexit has led to any increase in jobs.

Jobs have come to the UK and left the UK.

There are fewer jobs in total than two years ago, but more vacancies.

What does that tell you?

That tells me that covid decimated the service industry and that the furlough scheme all though good for the workers it has stopped the usual movement of jobs.When it is finally stopped the end of september it will then paint a different picture in the months after.

Then there will not be any more jobs as the end of furlough seems likely to close some businesses and positions.

So,vacancies filled but no growth in employment.

Why is any of this Brexit related?

so we can summarize by saying there are less unemployed and still vacancies to be filled, even though covid has made life harder along with world weather problems.. suez has also added to a difficult situation.

I'm not sure if you are getting me mixed up with someone else but I don't recall saying anything was due to brexit. You asked about vacancies and jobs which I replied to. As said there are vacancies for existing jobs and vacancies for new jobs. Given what the world has gone through and still is, I think its better than having no vacancies and no new jobs

Jobs are good. Vacancies not so much if we cannot fill them. They aren't being filled, but perhaps they will once the end of furlough and the holidays unwinds?

Yawn.

The tread is about Brexit. That's all that I pointed out.

Unfilled vacancies mean jobs not done, which is bad for those who want something done.

If service has improved then that's great. Not seen any indication of that.

Sadly, service industry staff have been suffering from abuse by impatient customers because they have to wait to be served.

Wages in some induatries are rising and in others not. Good for individuals. If these costs are passed on by companies then we pay more for things. Personally, I don't mind that. Not so popular with others.

Inflation will be good for Governments trying to reduce the real cost of their debts. Not so great for those with savings or those in the state sector who will not see their wages rise in line if the situation with our NHS staff, whom our leaders apparently see as heroes, is an indicator.

Think it through. Alternatively don't. Just cheer for "your side".

Vacancies for existing jobs means that but new jobs also produce vacancies so it's not as clear cut to imply its just existing jobs. My post mentions companies expanding in the UK and moving to the uk. These are creating new jobs, New positions and new vacancies

So, again, after a deep recession in a lot of industries you would expect an expansion again.

There is zero indication that Brexit has led to any increase in jobs.

Jobs have come to the UK and left the UK.

There are fewer jobs in total than two years ago, but more vacancies.

What does that tell you?

I'm not sure if you are getting me mixed up with someone else but I don't recall saying anything was due to brexit. You asked about vacancies and jobs which I replied to. As said there are vacancies for existing jobs and vacancies for new jobs. Given what the world has gone through and still is, I think its better than having no vacancies and no new jobs

The thread is about Brexit.

Jobs are good. Vacancies not so much if we cannot fill them. They aren't being filled, but perhaps they will once the end of furlough and the holidays unwinds?

Again I repeat I did not mention brexit. Even if the thread is about it I did not mention it. I responded to the question of vacancies and jobs. As said new jobs also produce vacancies its not just existing jobs. Personally I prefer the situation of more vacancies and more new jobs than no vacancies and no new jobs. In the news just eat is opening a new centre in the north east creating new jobs that need filling (vacancies). They are being filled and according to the report customer satisfaction has improved significantly. Before these jobs were done abroad but now moved to the ukyou won’t get a positive response because some on here only want to talk about the negatives it’s great news 1500 jobs I think at just eat

Yawn.

The tread is about Brexit. That's all that I pointed out.

Unfilled vacancies mean jobs not done, which is bad for those who want something done.

If service has improved then that's great. Not seen any indication of that.

Sadly, service industry staff have been suffering from abuse by impatient customers because they have to wait to be served.

Wages in some induatries are rising and in others not. Good for individuals. If these costs are passed on by companies then we pay more for things. Personally, I don't mind that. Not so popular with others.

Inflation will be good for Governments trying to reduce the real cost of their debts. Not so great for those with savings or those in the state sector who will not see their wages rise in line if the situation with our NHS staff, whom our leaders apparently see as heroes, is an indicator.

Think it through. Alternatively don't. Just cheer for "your side". "

lol like I said negatives so you don’t think jobs created and wage rises are good then well fuck me there’s a shock

"what happened to the british stiff upper lip lol so many cry babies....

more jobs than applicants and not a fence in sight! Wow, well done priti boris and co lol

wait, can i hear something, theres a tidal wave coming my way lol i might move to afghanistan, theyve got the balance right? america then? iceland? lol

No tidal wave, but I will repeat:

Do you also understand the difference between "more jobs" and "more vacancies"?

I'll take a stab at it. If I understand correctly then vacancies are not necessary new jobs but workers required to fill existing roles. For instance if some overseas workers have gone home then the jobs they used to do need filling. More jobs would be brand new jobs. For instance the expansion of companies that have been in the news the last few months. Or I would assume when companies move here like the Amazon film thing relocating to the UK, Wendy's moving back to the UK sort of thing.

Am I even close

There are, however, consequences for which you need a thought out solution, otherwise it becomes a big negative.

You are loudly cheering a short term benefit that could bring a long term problem unless it is thought about carefully.

Do you get that?

Vacancies for existing jobs means that but new jobs also produce vacancies so it's not as clear cut to imply its just existing jobs. My post mentions companies expanding in the UK and moving to the uk. These are creating new jobs, New positions and new vacancies

So, again, after a deep recession in a lot of industries you would expect an expansion again.

There is zero indication that Brexit has led to any increase in jobs.

Jobs have come to the UK and left the UK.

There are fewer jobs in total than two years ago, but more vacancies.

What does that tell you?

I'm not sure if you are getting me mixed up with someone else but I don't recall saying anything was due to brexit. You asked about vacancies and jobs which I replied to. As said there are vacancies for existing jobs and vacancies for new jobs. Given what the world has gone through and still is, I think its better than having no vacancies and no new jobs

The thread is about Brexit.

Jobs are good. Vacancies not so much if we cannot fill them. They aren't being filled, but perhaps they will once the end of furlough and the holidays unwinds?

Again I repeat I did not mention brexit. Even if the thread is about it I did not mention it. I responded to the question of vacancies and jobs. As said new jobs also produce vacancies its not just existing jobs. Personally I prefer the situation of more vacancies and more new jobs than no vacancies and no new jobs. In the news just eat is opening a new centre in the north east creating new jobs that need filling (vacancies). They are being filled and according to the report customer satisfaction has improved significantly. Before these jobs were done abroad but now moved to the ukyou won’t get a positive response because some on here only want to talk about the negatives it’s great news 1500 jobs I think at just eat

Yawn.

The tread is about Brexit. That's all that I pointed out.

Unfilled vacancies mean jobs not done, which is bad for those who want something done.

If service has improved then that's great. Not seen any indication of that.

Sadly, service industry staff have been suffering from abuse by impatient customers because they have to wait to be served.

Wages in some induatries are rising and in others not. Good for individuals. If these costs are passed on by companies then we pay more for things. Personally, I don't mind that. Not so popular with others.

Inflation will be good for Governments trying to reduce the real cost of their debts. Not so great for those with savings or those in the state sector who will not see their wages rise in line if the situation with our NHS staff, whom our leaders apparently see as heroes, is an indicator.

Think it through. Alternatively don't. Just cheer for "your side". lol like I said negatives so you don’t think jobs created and wage rises are good then well fuck me there’s a shock

...and you read what you wanted to.

Wage rises and more jobs are great.

Wage rises and more jobs are great.

Wage rises and more jobs are great.

Can I be any more clear?

There are, however, consequences for which you need a thought out solution, otherwise it becomes a big negative.

You are loudly cheering a short term benefit that could bring a long term problem unless it is thought about carefully.

Do you get that? so come on then genius what is your solution?????"

I haven't claimed to be a genius and have the solution have I?

It is HARD. It has happened again and again in history. It happens less with freeer trade and movement of labour.

As we have chosen the opposite route, whatever the claims.

Pleased that you can now accept that it is possible to be pleased about better pay and increased employment but also have concerns about the negative consequences that arise from inflation.

more jobs than applicants and not a fence in sight! Wow, well done priti boris and co lol

wait, can i hear something, theres a tidal wave coming my way lol i might move to afghanistan, theyve got the balance right? america then? iceland? lol

No tidal wave, but I will repeat:

Do you also understand the difference between "more jobs" and "more vacancies"?

I'll take a stab at it. If I understand correctly then vacancies are not necessary new jobs but workers required to fill existing roles. For instance if some overseas workers have gone home then the jobs they used to do need filling. More jobs would be brand new jobs. For instance the expansion of companies that have been in the news the last few months. Or I would assume when companies move here like the Amazon film thing relocating to the UK, Wendy's moving back to the UK sort of thing.

Am I even close

As said vacancies occurs for several reasons and does not necessary mean the job is not getting done. As well as the brand new job vacancies you have people who give their notice due to going to a new job or retiring. The job is still being done but the vacancy is created as the company needs to recruit replacements. The customer satisfaction rise was reported as part of their investigation into their investment. Inflation should always be kept an eye on though often see threads on here calling for rise in wages . Now it's happening all of a sudden its not good news. Inflation fell back in the last report. Apparently it's expected to rise a bit then fall back again.

I will right this again:

"Wage rises and more jobs are great.

Wage rises and more jobs are great.

Wage rises and more jobs are great."

We can only base any of this on the outcomes.

The wage rise is compared to last year when more people were on furlough at 80% of normal salary.

The service industry is understaffed. Their are insufficient numbers of HGV drivers.

There are more vacancies and reduced unemployment so the conversation about retirements and moving jobs is moot.

Who's investigation?

The Institute of Customer Satisfaction says this, which looks ambivalent:

"The July 2021 UK Customer Satisfaction Index (UKCSI) is 77.4 (out of 100), 0.4 points higher than in July 2020

14.9% of customers experienced a problem with an organisation, the highest rate since 2009. But satisfaction with complaint handling is at its highest ever level

For the first time, 50% of the customer experiences recorded in the UKCSI were digital"

Fair enough, but talking about one company is unrepresentative by definition and in this case the other reasons ha e not changed due to Brexit or Covid or anything else.

As well as the brand new job vacancies you have people who give their notice due to going to a new job or retiring. The job is still being done but the vacancy is created as the company needs to recruit replacements. The customer satisfaction rise was reported as part of their investigation into their investment. Inflation should always be kept an eye on though often see threads on here calling for rise in wages . Now it's happening all of a sudden its not good news. Inflation fell back in the last report. Apparently it's expected to rise a bit then fall back again.

I will right this again:

"Wage rises and more jobs are great.

Wage rises and more jobs are great.

Wage rises and more jobs are great."

We can only base any of this on the outcomes.

The wage rise is compared to last year when more people were on furlough at 80% of normal salary.

The service industry is understaffed. Their are insufficient numbers of HGV drivers.

There are more vacancies and reduced unemployment so the conversation about retirements and moving jobs is moot.

Who's investigation?

The Institute of Customer Satisfaction says this, which looks ambivalent:

"The July 2021 UK Customer Satisfaction Index (UKCSI) is 77.4 (out of 100), 0.4 points higher than in July 2020

14.9% of customers experienced a problem with an organisation, the highest rate since 2009. But satisfaction with complaint handling is at its highest ever level

For the first time, 50% of the customer experiences recorded in the UKCSI were digital"

If you read back to my comments on customer satisfaction you will see I was talking about just eat reporting that customer satisfaction has increased since they moved the jobs from abroad to the UK. My comments on vacancies created by retirement and people moving jobs is to try to show that vacancies are created for more than just one reason. I understand about vacancies due to shortages and even mentioned this earlier but feel other reasons for vacancies need to have a mention for a more balanced explanation

Fair enough, but talking about one company is unrepresentative by definition and in this case the other reasons ha e not changed due to Brexit or Covid or anything else."

As you will be able to see I made no claim it was representative of the whole service sector. It was just was a side story to the new jobs / vacancies created by just eat when they moved jobs from abroad to the UK. A rather positive side story too which is always good. I used this as an example of what I was talking about as it was very recent
