I hope you´re right but very much doubt it. But for my own purse´s sake, I´ll hope for the best. Fingers crossed....

'So what if it hurts you in the pocket?'  That just has to be the Brexiteer contribution of the week! Well done!

If the UK enters truly free trade deals its economy will be decimated as it will not be able to compete on such terms, the likes of china ,india and emerging markets will be to competitive. The number of call centres based oversees is an example

Did you watch Amber Ruud's speech during the Tory conference? It was a Brexiters dream and as racist as it gets asking companies to choose British before foreign when employing!! As a business owner I would never employ anyone based on where they come from but whether they can do the job or not.

I have bills to pay now - I don't want to wait for some imaginary, undefined and intangible end result that may or may not make me any better off at some unknown point in the future. The complete and utter lack of preparedness by the Brexiteers is reason enough to call them for what they are: incompetents.

[Intensified]

^^^ yep the exit strategy of once we leave new markets will open up to us is just sheer folly they are'nt there already? and now the train of thoughr is, ' well lets screw ie exploit these emerging/ new markets for a few more quid,!! totally nasty and frankly imo nonsense and sonething tbh i'm not very comfortable with

When the votes were cast to exit the EU I feel sure the reason was not to pigg you off RR, whilst we have sympathy for your loss, others think that the country is more important. What price freedom?

Don't worry - I don't take it personally; I am just incredibly frustrated at the vacuum that was left behind, and how the supposedly bright new future is so vague and unclear, when all along we were told that Brexit was the panacea we needed.

It was below that in March 2013- no brexit required.

 

Too true.

 

It went down to 43 at the kiosks where the rate is always higher than in the banks.

 

I remember when it was 32B to the Pound in 1984. Now THAT was low.

Well said.

 

And we never wanted to be in the EU anyway. Others will be following us out.

It was either hypocritical or pandering to the populist UKIP propaganda ,british jobs for british people. Outrageous when you consider the government has seconded trade negotiators from Oz and Nz.

My thoughts exactly. What kind of madness is going into this without a rock solid plan?

an utmost ridiculous question! 13,266,996 Brits voted to remain.

 

Which, like it or not, were in the minority in a democracy. 

 

The only ridicule I'm aware of is the lack of seats for the 4M that voted for UKIP in the general election and the 56 that fell so easily into the hands of an odious organisation with a thinly veilled  agenda 12 o' clock of Hadrian's wall.

What did you parents make of ours in 1939-40 and again with allies in 1944-5?

Thinly veiled? Who are you, Mr Magoo? The SNP even has it in their name - nothing underhand about their objectives. And certainly nothing odious - they don't persecute the poor to enrich their big business friends, like our current UK government.

 

As for MP numbers, the SNP were fully in favour of PR - blame the Tories for that one too.

Hopefully we will finally pull together as a nation and realise that we hitched our wagon to a falling star - and unhitch it quickly!

Bad decision. Pretty par for the course with England, I suppose this one will also change the course of human history in a fundamental way.

The British isles are better off in one piece, even if we (Ireland too, all of it) become the 51st state of the union.

 

Trumps wall could then expand upon the one built by Rommel :)

   Britain is a muilti racial Country .

A British person can be of any and every race .

So suggesting that Companys should emply British people, cannot be clasified as a racist statement .

   For it to be a racist statement, it would have to specify a person based on their race, which they didnt do .

Yeah, a lot of us are in this boat. Mostly,  the solution is to go for a mixed bank account plus income solution, like 400, 000 in the bank account and 400, 000 income. If you''re married I hear 400 thousand is enough, but you have to.be pretty sure of your woman.

your question was "who would vote to remain...". the answer is 13,266,996 Brits voted to remain. trying to divert from facts with bla-bla is futile.

But the SNP did 'call in' Aberdeen Council's rejection of Donald Trumps golf course plans, rode roughshod over the will of local people and allowed it to be built. To this day, nobody is really sure who sucked who on that.

Yes, I guess some people still confuse nationalism with racism.

 

Having said that, the UK government has advised LSE that any employee working on government Brexit advisory teams can only be British citizens. No EU types at all regardless of any superior specialist knowledge of EU market or international trade deals.

Sure - a possibly ill-educated guess, but the Tories are not averse at picking on the weak and/or defenceless to further their agenda.
