So, let me get this right: they will put in a clause that if Boris (or whoever) causes trouble, then the EU can throw us out with no deal....... because they are worried that Boris (or whoever) will cause trouble to get a no deal exit early...... got it! You aren't realistic, nobody in the UK or EU can trust a British PM. Even if they did, that PM could not deliver, as we have seen they just cannot deliver the UK parliament. Negotiating with a British PM is not the same as negotiating with the UK itself. Given that reality they have been remarkably civilised and understanding.

On the one I commented that financial services could be run from places other than their registered business address the other I commented that public sector workers have contributions made to their pension funds by their employers, who are funded by the ratepayers/taxpayers etc. Put your teeth back in and stop reading facts that aren't there please.

They are only trying to protect their downside which is absolutely horrendous because if we leave with no deal, the UK is going to boom. And increase the pressure as others try to break away. All of my ire is aimed at our political class for being so weak willed.

As already discussed on these hallowed pages the British economy has already lost 66 billion quid just due to the uncertainty over Brexit. Companies have already closed down operations here citing Brexit as a factor. Major car manufacturers have announced reduced investment in the UK with Brexit cited as a factor. Many major financial insitutions have made their employees sign relocation papers to Frankfurt/wherever in the event of a hard brexit. The government's own forecasts and the opinion of the chancellor of the exchequer is that a no deal brexit would be an economic disaster. The disaster is well under way already. Nothing to do with him being a staunch remainer is it?

There was always going to be a dip caused by uncertainty and Remainers have been doing their best to make it worse by delaying Brexit. I expected short term issues, but they are well worth it to rid ourselves of Brussels. You don't seem to be able to think past next week. Edited by Hrolf The Ganger (09 Apr 2019 7.49pm)

As a retired public sector worker I can assure you that not ALL public sector pensions are/were gold-plated, despite what the media would have you believe. I worked for 42 years and my pension was only increased by having to work weekends, public holidays (including Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Years Day) and overtime. What is not taken into account is that, in the private sector many have "extras" ie private medical insurance, company cars, cheap insurance, corporate hospitality etc (not all I admit but some) whereas public sector workers have no such benefits. Private health is taxed
