[Politics] Brexit

[daveinprague]

So remainers complained that the government made a poor offer before, after negociation the government improve the offer but now you complain they have made a u turn ? Are you sure you understand what negociation means ? I guess you'd rather they kept to the hard exit you've moaned about so vocally ?

It's the usual story .. only regurgitate stories from remain supporting papers hostile to Brexit then add another couple of layers of negativity/bias.

I'm only repeating what government ministers have said....

If you regard those as reputable or reliable sources..........

Banks, worse than the devil before the referendum, now Remainers loves them. Banks creating jobs in Frankfurt, so they can still get a piece of the action once we leave, nothing unusual in that. The prediction we got, London's financial sector becoming a ghost town. I don't know if that was before or after the French had sent all the Asylum seekers over.

The thing about the financial services sector is that it's one of the few things we (in the UK) do well. But perhaps more importantly it contributes about 12% of our tax revenue - its taxes pay for the majority of the NHS. Unfortunately, Brexit will send a good part of this sector to Frankfurt/Paris/Dublin, so not only will we lose loads of jobs in London, we will also have far less tax income. Brexit will also decimate one of our other success stories - aerospace, but that's another story.

As a leaver I find things are panning out pretty much as I expected when I made the decision of which way to vote although I will say I did anticipate a bit more immediate downside to the economy etc. It must be awful to be a remainer watching this but having no concept of the end game that us leavers have a vision of. Granted the government seem to be making hard work of it but I am still convinced that when the youngsters look back in a decades time they will thank those of us that stepped up when needed.

Not sure that youngsters will be thanking you that much over the next couple of decades tbh

So, which bit is untrue?

Well Downing street say it isn't true .. which bit is true?

Which is why we both chose to vote differently

The big banks are already global and can operate from pretty much anywhere. Relatively minor reorganisation is required to switch activities to a different country. I am looking at a few options that affect my team if we bite the bullet.

France, though, is a ****ing basket case of a place to try to operate. Very strong employment legislation and unions, generally poor quality of staff etc. Personally don't see vast swathes of people leaving London.

As did the vast majority of youngsters

Which is why I said they would end up thanking us leavers

Like The Daily Mail? - http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4717724/Gove-admits-EU-migrants-coming-UK.html

As we know the Daily Mail is a proscribed source on NSC as decreed by the great and the good I'm surprised your 'media access platform' didn't explode when you accessed it . (Nice story about Miss Diane's latest gaffe though)

Deficit up 50% on this time last year, yet more evidence we're on the slids

https://www.theguardian.com/business/2017/jul/21/uk-budget-deficit-inflation-government-borrowing

Farage sulking on LBC

Government finally facing up to reality, even Gove is talking sense.

There's hope...

 

[JC Footy Genius]

I'm only repeating what government ministers have said....

Really? ... care to source quotes from two or three government ministers that are supporting a transition period of at least three years who previously said no transition periods were acceptable? Actually one would be a start.

The point is - a few weeks ago Hammond wasn't allowed to say anything, and there was complete denial of the need for a transition period. Now Hammond is allowed to talk about a three year transition period. That is a seismic change. Plus, Gove - the arch-est of arch Brexiteers - is happily talking about the continuation of Free Movement well beyond 2019. Things are changing!
