This argument is no different to accusing senior judges and civil servants of being unelected, or indeed the think tanks that supply MPs with their policies.
The ideas people are rarely elected, but the ideas only happen if those elected agree with it.


It's not the same at all.
 
Yet more great news from the wonderful world of Brexit ( or how to completely **** your own economy DIY ).

Ummm.....but.....we don't need the banks.....ummm....it's good news.....ummm.....we hate the bankers......ummm......it's actually what was planned all along.

EDIT: just seen Ballymore Brexit Barry's post! <laugh>

Comically, he works for a development group who have kit and land in Canary Wharf! Good luck developing and selling Cuba Street (if you ever get over your planning issues) after the banks have started to exit the UK!

Bloom is well know to spin stories, just like mostl news outlets seem to do.

They are a business reporting service, amongst many other things, such as a globally used trading platform.

If opinion is published , it is quite clearly stated as such. If you read carefully, many times you will see at the end of an article. ' this does not necessarily represent the views of Bloomberg' , or something similar.

He's another Kustard. He doesn't read beyond the headlines so there's no chance of him getting to the end of an article.

in my view, access to the single market and passporting for banks are essential. Without those the UK economy will take a very large hit! The quid pro quo is free movement.

Europe appears to be now taking a harder 'take it or leave it' stance

They are pro business, but that does not make them right. Just like when Bloom said the UK would drop dead if we voted out and look we are still doing well (for now)
 
Why, they are doing what the people voted for. The same people who voted for them, they have listened and acted on it.

Why cant you just accept it, Things will change, adapt and embrace it. The world is much bigger than a failing EU

Do you not realise how long it will take to agree each one of these 'shiny new trade deals'? Assuming they can. Be negotiated? Every single product, with every single trade partner?? Years and years!

Meanwhile the UK economy will disappear up it's own fundament!

Bloomberg didn't say that!! They merely reported what was being said by economists, etc.

The lag effects are far longer than expected, for sure. That's because we haven't triggered article 50 ' the best day' as Cameron claimed we would before the vote.

The slowdown is coming though, count on it!
