[Politics] Brexit

[SK1NT]

So yesterday Mark Carney address the journalists yesterday who ridculed him and said he was a liar (Don't trust the experts)

When stoop up infront of all the journalist and said "Has everything i predicted come true?" The tens and tens of journalists response............

SILENCE just a tumbleweed.


Still amazed me the Brexiters have their current stance... Off the top of my head can list 20 reasons to stay and maybe 0-1 to leave the EU.

At some point you'd hope the Millions of Tory voters who have seen rowback after rowback might question what they voted for at the last election.

Nice excuse, George! He was never going to succeed with that anyway.

Not only EasyJet but also Vodafone and many other companies are moving their HQs to mainland Europe.

The fight for the best parts of the English economic "corpse" has already started. Frankfurt? Paris? Dublin? Where to go for the big money now? Hollande is throwing all his weight behind Paris, Frankfurt is the natural successor, Dublin would be more practical but even Luxembourg has some hopes.

It's not only about the money, it's about 350.000 jobs... for a start.

Surely, and I mean SURELY, the "Leave" voters were aware of the inevitable outcome of their vote, and fully consciously accepted it?

City sources say some of the countries it has spoken to would also want it to move its operational headquarters, not just the legal headquarters, which easyJet is said to be unwilling to do.

An insider told Sky that moving the legal headquarters could entail relocating just a handful of staff.

EasyJet employs about 1,000 people at its Luton base, in departments such as finance, IT and marketing – separate to the staff who work on its operations at the airport in Bedfordshire.

Remember it was stated pre Brexit that on June 30th the EU would be discussing Turkey again. Seems so.

These gents are certainly for turning. And turning. And turning.

2mins of audio... a great explanation of the brexit manipulation

http://www.lbc.co.uk/james-obriens-blistering-take-on-crisis-in-british-politics--133148

and if you want to hear a heart breaking call about a German lady and how things have changed for her since brexit... listen to the audio directly after

(The audio after is Video Sobbing German Woman's Call Stops James O'Brien In His Tracks )

Both Audios well worth a listen.

Yes this is depressing and she clearly lives in an ignorant neighbourhood. I can understand the concern of Islamic immigration influencing the Brexit vote but I never thought that there would be any objections to our European cousins as well because we share the same principles.

Osborne's been banging on about the necessity of austerity for the past eight years. Now we learn it isn't so necessary.
It's almost as if we're pawns in a game.

Still we can jack up alcohol duties once we've left the EU. Good bye £4 a bottle, hello the return of homemade beer and wine

 

[nicko31]

Another example where I trust the EU 100 times more than our own government who only ever look 5 years ahead

or drinking anti-freeze if you have a drink problem.

They used to put it in Austrian wine in the 80's

Well of course they were aware of what they were doing. They voted for a Vision. All of them. Including the council estate tenants who had never voted before*. I heard it on the radio yesterday. A triumphant Leave MP said it so it must be true.

ALTERNATIVELY they may just have been voting to stick two fingers up at the establishment, spurred on by the prospect of having the entertainer-politician to entertain them, by the instruction to ignore experts (plenty of people on here taken in by that one) and by the subtly xenophobic rants of unpleasant politicians who know exactly how to tap into the fears people have of foreigners (the oldest angle in the book - every snake oil salesman from Goebbels upwards has been using it to effect).

•Not my words. You’ve got to be a Tory grandee like IDS to use descriptions like that. Welcome to your new world Brexiters.

Which of course they weren't. The establishment are still there laughing at us thinking we have got them. We cut our nose to spite our face.

And in the meantime, FTSE 250 down about 5.2% and falling.
Dear oh dear, this is really going to take some sorting out and uncertainty will abound for God knows how long, whatever the gung-ho Brexit camp say.
Plenty of pension pot holders will not be happy bunnies and before a Brexiter says to me, all will recover and our economy will be stronger than ever.............how the f--k do you know and how long is it going to f-----g take?
Will we look back and say, was it all worth it?

Well, that didn't seem to take very long at all, did it? (obviously the value of shares can still, as always, go down as well as up!)

FTSE250 rising for the fourth day in a row... from Monday's close just below 15,000 to present position of 16,420.

This is higher than in the weeks running up to the referendum, and only a little way short of its average position since March this year (since the recovery from last dip in February).

The markets don't appear to be too unhappy at present.
