The BBC were pushing the story of Nestlé moving 300 jobs to Poland earlier. Funny – but very predictable – because the UK has been leaking jobs to Poland for many years now, but there was never any mention of that before Brexit.
Somehow, before we voted to leave the EU, it was ok if jobs were offshored to Poland, and deemed not newsworthy. But now, it’s a doom-laden prophesy of things to come in a Brexit world!
Well, can I just correct those biased MSM journalists by saying that those 300 jobs lost to Poland are a sign that Nestlé have faith that they can overcome trade barriers between the EU and Britain seeing as the Blue Riband biscuit (which will now be produced in the EU) is a British staple. Aunt Bessie wouldn’t offshore the production of frozen Yorkshire puddings to Poland if she was fearful the UK and EU would enter a tariff war after Brexit.
Which brings me to Wikipedia: The entry for Blue Riband is as pathetic as the news stories; “The bar was launched in 1936 as a real milk chocolate wafer- a crisp wafer biscuit covered in a very thin layer of milk chocolate. It was first marketed primarily in Switzerland, Europe, and in the U.S. It was re-launched in December 2004″
You get more information on the Tesco website than on Wikipedia: “BLUE RIBAND was first launched in 1936 by Gray Dunn, which was then acquired by Rowntrees and subsequently by Nestle in 1988…”
Gray Dunn “was a British physician and otologist.”
Therefore, the Wikipedia entry is as false as a nine-pound note. In this case, Tesco beats Wikipedia.
And they will taste like cr@p once they are made there, like Dairy Box have since production relocated to Poland.
The answer is: don’t buy their products; if enough people did that when these companies cut labour costs by opening factories in eastern Europe, it would discourage them from doing so and putting British people out of work.
Radio 4 leading with Labour’s promise for more money from the NHS.
My dad says that when New Labour came to power, they met with NHS chiefs is to ‘negotiate’ what their pay should be.
“We want to be paid X,” said the NHS
“Ok then we will pay you that.”
They could not run a whelk stall. How can you just instantly give them what they want? Labour threw loads of money at the NHS and it mainly meant that doctors got paid much more for less work.

Labour’s NHS pay policy won’t do a thing for patients – mind you, there’s a couple of million votes to be had from those on the payroll.
