So why is it not happening now if there is so much money in it?

Imagine if this was where you lived. People have woken up this morning to find lorry parks being built. No planning permission required. No notice given.

Think positive,,:
They can convert that little garden shed into a pop-u cafe, and make a killing selling drinks & snacks to all the migrant stowaways after they disembark the lorries..

Mind you, the loss of that lovely view may not have as much of an impact on their property prices, as much as the stench of all the rotting "fresh produce" that'll become a permanent feature of the locality..

10 weeks to go and they start on this now?

Laughable if it wasn't so serious.

I suspect there's been a lot of prep done. It doesn't take long to remove turf with a digger.

It's all paperwork & planning permission....which can take years to process.
The actual bricks-&-mortar part, at least for a new home, is around two months, start-to-finish.
At least that's what it is over here, where everything is timber & drywall, mortar on the outside , etc.
I've no idea what it is in the civilised world though....I would imagine it's in the same ballpark.

No permission needed for these though. That's the point. They've just started work without telling the perks who live next to it.

An economist who has worked at the highest level, is not British nor European, has no political axe to grind and talks basic common sense...and says Brexit will not be good for Britain.

Who would have thought it????

No thanks, I'll get my BREXIT "facts" elsewhere. I'm sure he's a very clever chap, but he's a member of the Trilateral Commission and very much not my/your friend.

Oh well. At least soya (sic) sauce is going to be tariff free because of our trade deal with Japan.

Which it already is.

Not that we buy much.

And most of it comes from the Netherlands.

But you know, we're well on our way to becoming a new economic powerhouse.

Just seen the DoIT tweeting that.

You would think they would check their facts BEFORE posting anything but i guess they don't realise so many people are actually much more intelligent than they are. :D

When you see Government bodies not only making such crass statements and doing it with out checking ANY of the facts, it makes you wonder what we are going to see next year!

Imho many of us have a fair view of what we are going to see (the beginnings of) next year.
Being as the majority of the "vote leave" crowd appear to tend towards more blinkered & less tolerant personalities ( (wait) imho ) what will be "interesting" is how they react to the dawning realisation that there was actually no such thing as "project fear", merely concerned citizens with open minds.

They'll refuse to admit they were wrong and continue to blame the ills of the world on the EU and immigrants.
