Off Topic EU deabte. Which way are you voting ?

Very poor analogy.
The bottom line is the EU states MADE the letter of the law that is Article 50, all 20 odd of them.
And now the politniks are bawling like babies because they can be killed by their own sword.

 

As I've said many times, but I'll repeat once more here, my primary reason for voting to remain at this time, was the economy. I felt, and still strongly do feel that it's going to suffer. The U.K. had just about dragged itself out of lengthy recession, and now we're going back into it.

This uncertainty will last until our future relationship,with the EU is determined. That isn't going to happen for some time as Cameron has resigned and nobody seem to be too keen to pick up the poison chalice of article 50.

Too many here seem to actually believe that the financial markets are taking this personally. I can very much assure you they are not! Markets don't work that way. The reasons both our currency and our equity markets have nosedived is twofold. One, they believe as I do, that UK will be worse off out of the EU. Second, uncertainty. Markets hate uncertainty.

In short, none of what we're seeing now is good for the UK economy, and that situation is liable to prevail for the foreseeable future.

 

but was rejected by UKIP, so ......

 

No it doesn't, it doesn't give them a choice for anything, the employer chooses, not them, it's closer to being at the beck and call of a temping agency, or a 19th century mill owner

Indeed, he's a proper ****.

 

but was voted down so......

 

I'm afraid you're inaccurate about the passporting issue in regard to the banks. They currently are based in London and market their products to EU investors from London. Once the UK is no longer part of the EU they will then need permission to continue to market in Europe.

As the FT has already shown, some banks have started moving certain operations out of London already.

 

Some have approached employers and asked to be on a zero hour contract for the reasons I mentioned. A friend had to turn down some good applicants for that reason, as company policy didn't include zero hour contracts.

 

Do not put it past their politniks.
Of course, if they did it would once again show their true colours, and be more vindication for the
referendum result.

 

I didn't though.

 

Never have much time for Politicians from my default settings.

However I've got a lot of time for Cameron for shafting the Brexiters. ****ing cowards don't know what to do now that you've been told 'your mess, you deal with it'

+1 to Cameron.

 

What loaded opinion? I asked a question based on facts not "what ifs".
The people I've mentioned work for small businesses in manufacturing who are directly linked to the EU. You choose not to believe it, that's up to you, I know them so I do. There's nothing loaded about that. And I'm only reiterating what the discussions they've had at work about likely redundancies.

Your second paragraph sums up your attitude. Pretty heartless to say the least. I'm sorry you don't se it as a 'we' situation but rather as a 'them and us'.

Btw this has nothing to do with being Remain. That vote is done. Anyone who's seen me posting over the last 3 days knows I've only ever spoken about where we go from here. Together. I appreciate your attitude is different but that's your loaded opinion, not mine.

 

so.....he later reiterated it.....as per the article you just posted!

 

Is that the same Moody's that rated all the mortgage backed bonds AAA and AA+ ??

He knows no more than anybody else. It's his opinion. Mine is that there's a reasonable chance of renewed recession if this drags on.

 

Exactly, all politicians spout ****, this case he had to back track, just like Cameron and no doubt Boris/May will do the same in the future

 

I think Boris's head must be spinning.

He was never a genuine Leaver. It was a good platform for him to boost his support outside of London and he would be the valiant, patriotic loser in the referendum which would set him up nicely to take over from Cameron at the next election.

If he really thought they were going to win then he would have had some kind of a post-Brexit plan sketched up.

Cameron has understandably decided to chuck the hand grenade over to Boris, obviously having pulled the pin out first!

His popularity in London is now at an all time low and the rest of the country will always consider him to be a bumbling, pompous, private school twerp.

Still, he can always lean on Michael Gove who was such a ****ing terrible Education Secretary that the Head Teachers passed a vote of no confidence against him!

What a mess!

 

Could you be so kind as to aid us in knowing whose opinions in the financial sector should
rank highest (a 'moron map' if you will) so we can believe them more ??

 

Indeed.
But these folk don't like anything that will negatively impact their wallets (hence the push to remain in the first place).
Its something they are just going to have to grin and bear I am afraid.
If the EU holds off on trade with the UK and ****s themselves out of billions, expect many more countries to be holding referendums in the near future.

 

none, they are akin to tipsters at a racecourse, I would've thought the global crash of 2008 would've made everyone else realise that.
