Does Brexit cause Pub Closures?

 

An article has just been published in The Independent... ironic name... that reveals the terrible blow taken to the hospitality industry in the last few years. About 4,600 outlets have shut down since March last year, a twelve percent contraction in the industry. Apparently no other major economy is suffering this much during the Covid lockdown recovery period. I have often seen pubs, nightclubs and restaurants boarded up as I walk through the streets, some of them very old and long-lasting. The blame, the article says, is primarily Brexit. Owners cannot recruit enough staff to keep their establishments open and this is because workers from the continent can no longer cross the border into Britain for jobs.

However, is it fair to put this disaster at the feet of Brexit and, of course, all those stupid people who voted Leave? The UK's current immigration policy is a confused and ineffectual joke. If anybody wants to enter the country and stay, all they have to do is land at Dover in a rubber dinghy; yet at the same time others cannot legally enter the country when they have all the necessary qualifications and licenses. However, this doesn't only affect the UK. Many EU countries... sorry, member states... are in exactly the same predicament and sometimes even more so. Italy also has a major migration crisis and it is a fully conquered province of the empire. Travel between Britain and continental Europe has been a widespread and consistent phenomenon since prehistoric times. Archaeologists have discovered money, jewellery and tools brought onto Great Britain from all over the known world in those days. There are four bodies buried at Sutton Hoo, an early Anglo-Saxon village, whose DNA has identified them as foreign born, source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RLpgVEfy4mQ. Why has international labour exchange suddenly become so difficult? Can we not solve this conundrum ourselves, creatively, with a bi-lateral deal? How about creating high quality professional jobs paying more than the minimum wage that will appeal to the native workforce? This is a common contradiction when it comes to the EU and all other kinds of NWO reforms like cashlessness etc. Something that people have always done and always found very easy suddenly becomes impossible to do without a supranational bureaucratic coordinator. It's as if that coordinator has always existed since Stonehenge was built and now, shock horror!, it's been stripped away from us leaving us naked and vulnerable for the first time in history. I think this is a Remoaner psyop. The crisis in the pubs and clubs industry is an artificial obstacle intended to tarnish Brexit, just like the Northern Ireland border non-problem. I just hope enough of The Dependent's readers can see through it. Other abominations have done far more damage to the hospitality industry, long before Brexit, like the smoking ban.
