  3. 7500 jobs is lot of tax and a lot of money removed from the economy, but hey ho. Blue passports.
    There soon won't be enough money for the triple lock, and the brexiteers will go even purpler.
     
  4. Lol. Some of that went over my head! Which and what was being referred to.

    Im very much a beginner with French, but recognised the spelling and meaning on the passport.

    Vice versa, missed the point there but that can happen when reading comments without giving “thought” about the meaning.


    Not to be rude, I had a rubbish education but find this interesting:

    Seems the UK, much like the USA, owes a lot to foriegners.

  6. Most of those jobs won’t pay huge tax and I’d suggest the loss of 15k retail jobs due to this lockdown, with another million due, is far more concerning in the short and medium term. Do these financial institutions also have places in the Far East by any chance :thinkingface:
     
  7. If nothing else we lost all of the European financial clearing business. London had the largest clearing house in the EU but that business is exclusive to EU countries so Dublin, Frankfurt and Paris said thank you very much. London was also the home of the EMA, in the same building than the MHRA. Those 800 jobs are now in Amsterdam. Also worth noting that at this point the UK lost all its financial passporting rights with the EU. As annoying as the Vat, duty, not so free, free trade deal is, for a country that has a huge export surplus in services to the EU and whose economy is 80 percent services to make a deal that doesn't include services seems beyond stupid. Now even Boris and his mates aren't that stupid so the agenda is clearly personal. Stay in power or make money from the fallout. Probably both.

  8. "The largest market..."

    That would be the largest market whilst we were in it - not so large a market now that we have left is it.

    I heard a comment in the German Parliament that the EU has effectively shrunk from 28 nations to 9 as we have taken with us the equivalent in GDP of 19 of the EU countries.

  9. At 450 Million people it's still the largest market in the world.
    We have that up in the hope to make deals with other markets?
    As yet we haven't got a single deal that is better than the one we had. Some deals of equivalence have been struck and, to my knowledge l, 1 new one with Japan, which is less good than the deal the EU have with them.
    I'm still looking for the positives. Anyone?

  10. You know China and India have over a billion people, right?
     
  11. Worth a listen.....unless you are scared it might be ........fake news :eek:

     
  12. Unfortunately both India and China are not a single market even amongst themselves. Both countries have their own internal trade barriers between individual states. Also India don't allow foreign investment in many of their industries. You would be hard pushed to sell our surplus fish to them too.

  13. Many pay significant tax. The city jobs pay huge tax. It's pretty much unavoidable these days.
     
  14. Yes and as a consequence many EU retailers are said to be not bothering with the hassle and not taking orders from the UK

  15. To be fair if you voted for Brexit on the basis that it would be the easiest deal in history then it is you that should feel let down, not me and the other remainers. We are just saying “ told you” and we have not been sold a pup. You on the other hand are responsible for this and so should be furious your sunlit uplands have not been delivered.

  16. A market ripe for Jaguars and Land Rovers
     
  17. Do you know what the Afd is?
     
  18. Thats what the letters stand for but that is not what it is.

    what it is



    Presently, the AfD is often described as a German nationalist,[2][3][4] national-conservative,[22][23] and Eurosceptic[6] party. Since 2017, the AfD has been increasingly open to working with far-right extremist groups such as Pegida.[24]Factions of the AfD have racist,[25] Islamophobic,[26]anti-Semitic,[27][28] and xenophobic[14][29][30][9][31]tendencies with links to neo-Nazism[32][28] and the Identitarian movement.[33][34] Party leaders have denied accusations of racism.[21]
