Edited by Kermit8 (30 Mar 2017 11.01am) Thanks for relaying all this news to us. You are obviously doing it because you think that global news networks are not available to the rest of the world and all information flows through the hub that is your grubby laptop.

Edited by Penge Eagle (30 Mar 2017 11.38am) Just like my Geography 'O' failure it was not an attractive proposition and rather it hadn't happened but then I didn't think ahead and do enough homework and research and those that were in charge of the topic perhaps weren't the very best to lead. I got the result deserved.

Eh? That link confirms Goldmans and JPM will be moving staff to Europe? They won't be leaving the UK entirely - but they will be moving staff and operations out there. They're all making fairly sensible plans to move some staff definitely, set up licenses if needed in European countries (mostly Germany or Ireland), and then provisional plans which will depend upon the outcome of the negotiations. Brexit will have an impact. At the moment no one knows how serious it will be. No one knows whether it will mean all the non-UK banks move everything to Dublin or Frankfurt. Or spread themselves out over the EU. Or move very little. But there are going to be job losses in the Financial Services industry in the UK and they will be significant. Whether they number in the low thousands or the tens of thousands. That's the reality based just on what has already been announced. Yes, but that isn't how your ''Well just this week Goldmans, JPM, and two other global banks admitted they were going to moving operations to Europe'' came across.

Edited by Penge Eagle (30 Mar 2017 11.38am) I take your general point about it happening anyway and trying to get the best outcome...but that doesn't mean it becomes a completely invalid point of view to regard Brexit as dumb triple plus and the way our politicians seem to be going about it since the referendum as equally dumb... If the referendum had gone the other way,which it nearly did,no doubt plenty of Brexiters would still be going on about how Brexit would be a good thing rather than focusing on making the most of EU membership...

post again in 2-4 years Legal, we are nine months into this. Twice, your sort, have told us by certain specific dates that Brexit would result in us living in a post apocalyptic hell. Those dates have passed. So the Remain camp is moving to another deadline for all to go a bit JG Ballard? It's a bit inconsistent. No? Edited by matt_himself (30 Mar 2017 8.29pm)

I hope it works out since, unlike the owners of the Daily Mail, Daily Telegraph and the Sun, I live here. But I am not confident. I just hope the Brexiters are right and the people who voted remain like me are wrong. Otherwise its another press supported error of judgement - like the Iraq war but one that actually hurts us instead of the civilians of Iraq...and Syria and Libya. Maybe we have it coming.

The last nine months have not been 'chest puffing and a falling pound'. Government has been assessing its move. EU has been assessing its move. Business has been assessing its move. If you think the three haven't been talking, you are wrong.

It is in the interest of both sides to do a deal and I believe they will. It will be less than membership of the EU but crucially give us back an element of control lost for 14 years to unelected commissioners in Brussels and allow us to embrace the World.

And not only that....Corbyn has been campaigning against the EU bureaucracy, greed and criminal waste for the past 40 years when he was a backbencher.... it's difficult to believe that he has had an epiphany when made Labour Leader and now supports the EU failed experiment? Corbyn's 'stance' brings to mind the Hockey-Cokey song: Put your left leg in In Do the Hokey-Cokey and you turn around ...
We have now sunk to a depth at which the restatement of the obvious is the first duty of intelligent men. [Orwell] |

Edited by legaleagle (31 Mar 2017 9.13am) To be fair, your posts are generally supercilious mirror-w***s, seemingly designed to prove how superior you think you are to us mortals. I kind of get bored and turn off.

We are holding all the trump cards Kermy.... Just wait till the EU start to play hardball with us and impose tariffs on our goods imported into the EU. We will have to reciprocate and impose tariffs on all goods imported into the UK from the EU nations. The German Car Manufacturers, French Farmers, Spanish/Italian/French Wine and Cheese Producers, Greek Olive Oil Producers Etc Etc.... How long before that lot, and plenty more, kick up a fuss about losing market share of the UK's imported goods because the price is uncompetitive due to the imposed tariffs Merkel, Hollande (or his replacement) will have to back down or face the sack. Weeks.... not months, before all of them have an embarrassing climbdown because put quite simply they rely on UK trade and we import much more than we export to the EU.
