McDonalds to create 5,000 new jobs because of Brexit
http://www.itv.com/news/2016-07-27/mcdonalds-to-create-5-000-new-jobs-because-of-brexit/

Recruitment specialist Reed Group said demand for new staff has flourished since the referendum, with 150,000 more jobs added to its website in the past three weeks compared with the same period last year.

The sectors in line to benefit most from the boost are education, with nearly 13,000 new jobs advertised; IT and telecoms, with 12,000 new vacancies; and sales, with nearly 11,000 new posts. There are also 10,000 new accountancy jobs advertised and 8,000 in engineering.

A recent Markit/CIPS survey suggests that the UK's manufacturing sector rebounded sharply in August. Reinforcing this picture of manufacturing growth, UK industrial output grew at its fastest rate for 17 years in April to June, according to the ONS.

That just shows how many window lickers there are in the UK

5,000 new jobs at McDonalds not exactly something to be proud of is it?
So if it were 5,000 jobs lost because of Brexit the remain campaign would not be jumping up and down with I told you so?

A job is a job, if that is 5,000 workers working for McDonalds that is 5,000 people not on unemployment benefit, that is 5,000 people with money in their pocket to spend, it might not be a lot but it will be spent somewhere.

The delivery driver who pulls his HGV up with the delivery, the company that supplies the bags and napkins, the company that supplies till roll, the company that supplies cleaning products, it all has a knock on somewhere.

If that still doesn't impress you don't forget, I also posted a link to Reed and an extra 150,000 new positions <ok>

I can see your point Forza, not many would like working at McDONALDS, but it is a first step into workforce for many school leavers and unskilled teens.......:emoticon-0148-yes:

I need help here. I'm sure I must have voted Leave last week but I'm old and my memory has gone

Can someone who did vote Leave and remembers, tell me what they thought we'd benefit from ?

Due to my Alzheimer's it seems to me we lose quite a bit just to be in the same position

Clearly I'm wrong but please put me right
Was that only 2 months ago ? good job we knew better than you ay <laugh>

Isn't that just the same as any brexiteer claiming any good news is down to the vote whilst ignoring any negative indicators. There is much more going on than the daily mail lead headlines, and the truth is nobody knows what's going to happen because nobody knows what leaving will actually look like. Whatever happens it can't and won't all be to Britains advantage, nor will it all be to our disadvantage.
So, nobody knows what's going to happen now things are looking good,?
that's not what they were telling us before the 23rd
