Off Topic EU deabte. Which way are you voting ?

So on week 1, we have a knee-jerk reaction from USA banks. And no way of them knowing what the value of X has to be.

 

You think the UK gave all their money to the EU?

Has to be said Custard, throughout this thread you've demonstrated a very limited grasp and understanding of the various issues relating to Brexit apart from your consistent view that you dislike foreigners being in Britain. Are you in fact Nigel Farage?

 

It isn't wishful thinking, all the evidence points towards it being quicker to do trade deals outside of the EU.

 

@Hull City AFC (DMD) Can you please elaborate on what 'control' you think the UK will have if it wants access to the EU single market, given that we will have to pay into the EU and accept terms on movement of EU citizens ?

 

Uncertainty, mate. They hate it! At the moment it's little more than contingency planning. But if it looks like being a messy divorce, they could start moving larger operations out of the U.K.

It depends on the EU agreeing to allow them to carry on marketing as before. Frankfurt may try to stick a spoke in that as they really would love to be the main European financial Centre.

 

If you say so, you spin is not very good, try harder will you, maybe go buy a few houses while you at it

 

Did you read the FT article ? The banks are taking action NOW ahead of article 50

 

Might as well be. He has no grasp of any of the real issues!...

 

Petition for second EU referendum may have been manipulated

Oh dear

 

I haven't read the article I'm just explaining how article 50 works, nothing actually changes when it is invoked.

 

Quicker doesn't mean better. Also the evidence from the US is that it will take longer as they want to deal with the EU first.

 

We shall see

 

I know how artilce 50 works, the point is that the banks are taking action NOW to move some operations out of the UK ahead of Brexit.

 

The supreme oxymoron, as :

1. NOTHING is certain.

2. By their own knee-jerk reactions and self-aggrandising moronics, they cause the very
uncertainty you claim they hate.

<go figure>

 

Afaik it's just contingency planning, though I'll have to have a look at that article.

 

I think some here way overestimate the UK's importance as a trading partner.

Deals are done in order of importance. The U.K. Is liable to be some way down that list.

 

We shall. Personally I think it's blind optimism to conclude that we will be better off, when all of the evidence points to us being treated as the also rans.

 

They had certainty before, to market within the EU. Now maybe they don't = uncertainty.

Ok?....

 

I'm waiting until I can get your house from the bank Custard.

 

That contingency planning could cost the city thousands of jobs and with it potentially billions in investment. Whichever way you look at it, it is a negative effect of Brexit.
