According to David Davis the fall in sterling is the fault of Labour for talking the currency down.

John Pilger the excellent journalist gives his take on why the majority in Britain decided to leave the E.U.

[Ootohere]

To correct that & be pedantic.

The Majority of those that bothered to vote, and they were not all 'In Britain' it was those that had the vote in the British referendum, there were many that were not In Britain 

with a vote that made a vote.

He has a very clear viewpoint.

Press are using airport rates for effect. I read the lowest was €0.88 to £1.

High street is more like €1.08 to £1

 

Which is still shoite if you are holidaying or buying imported goods (wait on the price of your shiny shiny to skyrocket) but it's been there before.

Prof Patrick Minford schools the people in Parliament about the EU and trade.

That's the if you buy at the airport and have not pre-booked the currency rate.

Also know as the B.O.H.I.C.A. rate.

He has some fun ideas!

Eliminating manufacturing for starters. But job losses would be acceptable apparently.

Fujitsu now consulting staff on shipping the bulk of operations to mainland Europe according to the news today.

As much as everyone wants business as usual, the rumblings from the PM that immigration will come above free market access will lead to many businesses to decide to make the decision to go sooner rather than later.

As long as many come to Britain as well because they know it suits them like those that are planning on investing more now and expanding what is already here.

 

What is really going to happen, because oddly the media and politicians seem to just spin the negatives.

Is there to be lots of more migrants and the UK population loosing jobs,

or is it lots more likely to be coming here and working and UK unemployed also needing to work to survive and with more people moving to the UK more people will be required in Health & Care, Educating and Child Minding, Policing and Security. Transport & Building, Growing and Producing.

Nope, not a clue.

Nobody has, so thats all to be found out.

If the financial services leave the UK / London then that will be that, and maybe others will come, paying wages & bonuses that get taxed in the UK and have that money going to the UK Economy.

 

Lets see just how many Chinese & other Countries business's with so much invested already in the UK take it away or sell up,

the various Countries in the Middle East that own so much of the UK's biggest business already that will continue to make profits and benefits from a good lax tax regime 

country that also gives them a country that they chose to live in quite a lot.

 

Britain seemingly is the place to leave as more tourists and also migrants want to come to.

Must be the weather, the history and the welcome you get as long as you bring money with you.

Or are prepared to pay over the odds for accommodation while getting paid out of the grey or black economy.

 

Lets see all these London Business's employing only those that should legally be in the UK and working and paying at least the living wage.
