GSK is interesting as they were big players in 'remain' and that they would have to consider the UK future seriously. They clearly have. And decided to stay
we'd got to a consensus that made sense, rather than some bizarre, distorted view of reality from the back of beyond
yip. nothing like race to the bottom. yes sir please sir how much can we pay you to stay sir. anyhoo. tune in for next weeks installment.
Bloody Nora, Hell T will not be moving his company to the Alps or the North Pole anymore now things are looking up
It was all idle threats from big buisness. Did anyone believe they would all shut up shop and move to the continent in the event of Brexit? (apart from the usual protagonists on here). I'm sure there will be the odd buisness that redistributes some labour and these stories will be well reported with the usual gleefull doom and gloom because of Brexit, but this will work both ways as the UK is a very attractive place to do buisness. Some remainians and big buisness are still at it now, no doubt hoping that article 50 will not be triggered, but their voices are waining. I'm reading stories this morning and the main narative is "predictions". **** predicts 100,000 job losses, ********** predicts the £ will hit a 40 year low, *********** predicts investment into the UK will fall by £60bn, not a fact in sight. I'm sure when article 50 is signed they'll quietly just slip into the background. It'll be interesting to hear the same voices a few years down the line when the UK is prospering outside a sclerotic EU.
Of course they weren't going to leave the uk where else would they go to that's "secure" in the world Best of all worlds in the UK
'Safer in Europe' was also a major war cry............ Actually it was Cameron, not Major.......although he did stick his nose in. Obviously something else they got wrong.........yet many of us saw it coming.
All reminds me very much of the millennium bug, bird flu and HIV. We should all be dead by now. Of and global cooling and ice age coming. No warming and floods. Off to throw myself off a tall step
Bearing in mind Liam Fox has just said it won't happen for three years (and others have said four); I still think the conniving EU and UK Govt will find a way of making sure we don't leave.
Refresh...... So Juncker has unhelpfully appointed a very unpopular (with the City financiers) Frenchman, a German would have been far preferable and would have maximised Merkel's influence: Former French Foreign Minister Michel Barnier has been appointed by the European Commission to negotiate with Britain over Brexit. Announcing the appointment, European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker said he "wanted an experienced politician for this difficult job". Mr Barnier will take up his post on 1 October. A former EU commissioner, Mr Barnier led the EU's banking reforms - a move unpopular in London's finance district. Mr Barnier is known as a tough negotiator. As European commissioner for financial services between 2010 and 2014, he spearheaded the overhaul of EU banking laws in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis. These included a swathe of measures, which included capping banker bonuses and a crackdown on short selling - some of which were objected to by the City of London. Comments on social media by British political editors have already declared the appointment an 'act of war'. David Davis is going to have a tough challenge to obtain the financial passport that London needs to keep it's Euro business. Barnier will be going flat out to noble London in the interests of promoting Paris and Frankfurt. I think we need Lord Hill on the team as he knows the enemy and is well respected in Brussels. Meanwhile, Theresa May outlines the principle that EU citizens rights are dependent upon Britons rights being guaranteed. Quite right!
