Obviously Brexit will bring some changes but is there really any need for you to over-egg the pudding? 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.

Appears we are incorporating all EU Law into The Great Repeal Bill. Oh, and non-EU migration (them pesky muslims) that won't be stopping anytime soon either. Vive la dampest of damp squibs Revolution. But it's great though, isn't it? That sense of..er...um....je ne sais quoi. Just bloody fantastic.
NHS - that was it. Marvellous. All that dosh. Edited by Kermit8 (30 Mar 2017 10.52am)

LLoyds of London just announced they are opening up another shop in Brussels because of Brexit and 'only' around 90-95 it sound's like jobs affected.

Whether you like it or not, Brexit is happening... So you either want the country you live in to be prosperous – or want it to fail just so you can give yourself a nice pat on the back for voting remain. That's a bit sad! Edited by Penge Eagle (30 Mar 2017 11.38am)

When I saw how the European Union was developing, it was very obvious that what they had in mind was not democratic. I mean, in Britain you vote for the government and therefore the government has to listen to you, and if you don’t like it you can change it. But in Europe all the key positions are appointed, not elected – the Commission, for example. All appointed, not one of them elected. [..] And my view about the European Union has always been not that I am hostile to foreigners, but that I am in favour of democracy. And I think out of this story we have to find an answer, because I certainly don’t want to live in hostility to the European Union but I think they are building an empire there and they want us to be a part of that empire, and I don’t want that. Who said all this, Nigel Farage? In fact it was Tony Benn at the Oxford Union in 2013.
We have now sunk to a depth at which the restatement of the obvious is the first duty of intelligent men. [Orwell] |

Edited by Kermit8 (30 Mar 2017 11.01am) They covered this "non story" on Radio 4's Today programme this morning.... The spokesman for Lloyds said it would be a small satellite office in Brussels staffed by 15 people. The main office in London will largely be unaffected but it makes sense to have a presence on the continent post Brexit.

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?

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.

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.

Has the World ended yet? It's just that Alaistair Campbell and Nick Clegg and other such intellectual titans said it would after a leave vote in the referendum and then again after the triggering of Article 50.
