Brexit continuing review 1/X1001


Yesterday I attended the Netherlands British Chamber of Commerce Brexit update and this re-inforced the frustration expressed by speakers on two separate fronts:

[1] UK Public opinion is not shifting
[2] Private opinion by EU 27 representatives suggests DExEU is barking up the wrong tree and Westminster's Body Politic are cautious and slow to react to the GIG Economy reality ... until The Westminster Parliament takes firm and impartial control, the short/medium term effect on UK PLC is likely to be detrimental...!

The AIRBUS Brexit warning is indicative of the underlying problem and the British Government's flawed thinking...!

As a member of several business support and other membership organisations I share that sense of frustration. We are all adjusting to the growing GIG Economy ... I eagerly await the time when the EU and national parliaments became more sensitive and raise awareness of the "New Dawn" of the GIG Economy... to be continued

GIG Econony means a labour market characterized by the prevalence of short-term contracts or freelance work as opposed to permanent jobs.
