Irish Citizens will retain UK free movement rights after Brexit

Prime Minister Theresa May will give free movement rights to Irish citizens after the UK leaves the European Union, according to the Sunday Telegraph.

The paper is calling the offer a “Schengen” style deal between Britain and Ireland, although this would go beyond a border-less travel area. However, we are still awaiting the Government’s formal proposal to the EU on sensitive issue of the Northern Irish border, straddling miles of country roads and farmland.

Although it has barely been mentioned, Britain and Ireland, along with the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands, has enjoyed an open border area since 1923, almost 50 years before they joined the Common Market - the free trade area which evolved into the European Union we know today. The Common Travel Area (CTA) allowed Irish citizens to live, work and remain in the UK as settled residents without filling in Indefinite Leave to Remain forms.

Many of my own Irish relatives came to the UK in the 1960’s with no passport and never needed one to travel back and forth between Britain and Ireland. In the 1950's and 1960's, it was the Irish who did the jobs the British workers did not want to do, such as road construction and care.  

I had many childhood holidays in Ireland long before I eventually applied for my first British passport.

There is also talk of CCTV cameras and automated number plate technology to track the movement of goods in vehicles across the Irish border, as part of a lighter customs regime.

With unelected EU officials playing a game of pre-negotiation hardball, it looks like the UK will have little option but leave the single market and customs union in a so-called hard Brexit.

The Brexit negotiations are creating uncertainty in the markets and with EU migrants, even though Theresa May announced that they are welcome to remain in the UK indefinitely.

The number of EU, as well as non-EU nurses applying to work in the UK has fallen dramatically, and thousands of British nurses are taking jobs overseas in countries like Australia, New Zealand and Canada.

EU at war as France and Italy gang up on the Germans and UK could deport half a million migrants

French and Italian leaders gang up on Merkel to force end German austerity measures

UK could deport 500,000 non-qualifying EU citizen migrants

Could this be the start of a EU meltdown?

Amid reports today that leaders of several EU nations have ‘had  enough’ of German Chancellor Angela Merkel, could this be the trigger that sets in motion the breakup of the European Union as we know it?

The Sunday Express reports that Greek, Spanish, Italian and even French leaders are planning to take more control of the budget from Germany, the most powerful European nation, in a bid to end tough austerity measures in Southern Europe.

Greece, Portugal, Spain and Italy are suffering from poor economies and mass unemployment, which is one of the reasons why the UK had over 180,000 migrants from the EU last year. However, France has been a strong German ally even though its economy has been sluggish for years.

The UK has jobs. For instance, NHS has recruited thousands of Spanish and Portuguese Doctors, Nurses and Healthcare Assistants, and London’s bars and restaurants are full of EU workers. Hospitals are now recruiting non-EU Nurses from the Philippines to fill thousands of NHS vacancies.

European nations, along with the German people, are not happy with Merkel’s open door immigration asylum policy. Merkel’s open invitation caused the mass migration of millions of refugees desperately marching across Europe and dying in rafts on the Mediterranean last year.

The revolt against Germany, coupled with the UK Brexit vote, could lead to a collapse of the current EU format where richer countries prop up ailing economies which mismanage their money and produce little of value other than tourism and agricultural produce.

A new report last week warned that half a million migrants from the EU, could be forced to leave Britain following the Brexit process, sending a shiver of fear down the spines of European and non-EU partner migrants hoping to settle in the UK or exercise free movement rights under EEA regulations.

The immigration Ponzi scheme

The Germans actually need immigrants to boost their low birth-rate population and import younger workers to pay taxes, which support millions of state funded pensioners. In effect, they are mirroring a Ponzi scheme by paying pensions with new money from workers who will also qualify for state pensions in a few years time.

Fraudster Bernie Madoff

A Ponzi scheme is an illegal, fraudulent investment operation where the operator pays returns to its investors from new capital paid to them by new investors, rather than from profit earned from the investments. The scheme, named after the 1920’s fraudster Charles Ponzi, attracts investors by offering high than average returns.

People, it seems have short memories. More recently, the stockbroker Bernie Madoff ran the same Ponzi attracting billions of pounds from the public and celebrity investors before his arrest and subsequent life sentence 2008.   

Other EU countries, including Britain, have similar ‘pension time bombs’ with a falling number of people in work directly funding a growing number of retired people who are living far longer than was expected when state pensions were conceived after the war.

By the time younger taxpayers reach retirement age there will be little left in the pot for them, and private sector employers are no longer providing the blue chip final salary pension schemes the previous generation enjoyed.

Today’s generation will be forced to make their own way in life or work until they drop, and there will be no more ‘jobs for life’. As the famous investor Warren Buffet put it, “If you do not have passive income, you will work until you die”.

People will have to change occupations and retrain several times during their careers, as well as developing a more entrepreneurial mindset. Some may turn to additional part-time work or home-based businesses, such as online marketing, MLM or network marketing to earn extra cash.

Fortunately, the internet has opened up a new world of learning, working, socialising and doing business. We no longer need to go back to school or university to learn new skills. We can work from home, start a business or find a new life partner all from the comfort of our home.

NMC consultation on English language requirements for EU Nurse registration process

The NMC  (Nursing and Midwifery Council), the body which regulates and registers nurses and midwives in the UK, has launched a consultation on introducing English language controls for EU and EEA trained Nurses wishing to work in the UK.

Last year the UK government announced plans to give the NMC authority to introduce new language controls for European Economic Area (EEA) trained nurses and midwives, as part of revised European Directive on the Recognition of Professional Qualifications.

The Department of Health has authorised the NMC to change the statutory rules setting out new processes in the way it deals with nurses from the EU and EEA.

Until now, EU/EEA nurses have been exempt from English language checks, unlike their non-EU counterparts who are required to pass an IELTS English test at level 7.00. This is why, in general, nurses from India or the Philippines have a greater command of the English language than European candidates.

New language controls should raise the standard of English language spoken by European nurses which can only help to improve the standard of care in hospitals and nursing homes recruiting overseas nurses.

The consultation seeking views on the processes that the NMC are putting in place for language controls for:

•  EEA trained nurses and midwives who apply for registration
• Nurses and midwives seeking readmission to our register following a lapse of registration, and
• investigating concerns about the language competence of nurses and midwives on our register.

For more information see the consultation document [PDF] and further documents outlining the full process.

The NMC consultation will run for 12 weeks from 1 June to midday on 21 August 2015.

The NHS (National Health Service) are recruiting thousands of overseas nurses from both EU and non-EU countries such as The Philippines, India, Australia and NZ.
