Freedom of movement was one of the issues put forward by many in the Leave campaign, but, sorry to re-iterate this point yet again, the referendum question was not that specific. We are therefore faced with what surely we expected to face - Leave voters feeling betrayed, a number of EU officials...

I'm trying to ignore all the bands I'm looking forward to seeing at Latitude - the two above, M83 and New Order.

Agreed - Adele's music does nothing for me, but I loved her between-song spiels. As a spectator, so much more fun than trying to make it uncomfortable and alienating people (eg like Kanye did).

6 weeks summer 2 x 2 weeks for Xmas and Easter 3 x half-term weeks but you need to be able to start teaching pupils when you get back, so you need to spend most of those holidays planning lessons plus other stuff if you have other responsibilities (eg clubs, curriculum changes, etc etc). You...

Shame - you could have told him that I rate his Puttanesca, although I only buy it if it's on offer. Power, Corruption and Lies is the best album.

Blimey, has this "teachers get it easy" thread come around again already? Happy to add my standard comment to this: my wife is a teacher, works 8am to 10:30pm every weekday, probably 5 hours each on Saturday and Sunday. In the "holidays", probably works a 40 hour week, also takes some work with...

I voted Remain, and, obviously, I don't like the result. However, I am genuinely interested in understanding some of the reasons why people voted to leave: this idea of not being in control of our own country - I've never felt like anyone's in charge of our country - clearly, governments are...

Brother in law in Horsham reporting that someone has sprayed "Go home" on the front of a Polish colleague's house yesterday. Not sure there's a very welcoming atmosphere at the moment....

Behave :rolleyes:

I met his wife once and thought she was very nice. Didn't know who her husband was. Hopefully he'll disappear from our television screens - I've had enough of his Mr Toad style buffoonery. He can stay in the saloon bar of his local pub and hold court there, as far as I'm concerned.

The first, but will certainly not be the last. There are people worse off than Morgan Stanley employees, but, like them or loathe them, financial services companies employ lots and lots of people and pay a hefty amount of tax. London is going to come under real pressure as a financial centre and...

My guess is that Boris will be PM, there will be a lurch to Euroscepticism and the right in the Conservative Party, and there will be no early General Election. Article 50 will be submitted around the end of this year. Hope I'm wrong on every single one of these.

I agree that we have the skill sets here in London, but there are many non-UK EU nationals working in financial services here and, unlike the likes of me who will stay in London without question, they may consider a move. I certainly think we will have more competition than before for the...

This is a bit different - we won't actually be in the EU, potentially outside the EU free-trading area. Surely this news is not a surprise though?

Inflation will be up, interest rates to zero by the end of the summer, UK GDP growth prediction down from 1.5%-2.0% to 0.5%. EU growth also down by 0.5%. EU will be very keen to move the regional financial centre from London to somewhere within the EU, probably Frankfurt?

Right, better go into work now, see if we need to lay people off or whether they were just idle threats. Do not feel good this morning.

Hmmmm. Interesting. Thought I was definitely going to go for a Rega, but may reconsider. Easy assembly? I hate non-easy assembly....

What are you getting?

You've reminded me that I missed the last two episodes of The Durrells on ITV. Shame, because I was enjoying it as good Sunday evening telly. Have to see if it's still on catch-up somewhere....
