    I'm just making the point is that the barriers to moving aren't as high for either employer/employee as some people may assume. Frankfurt isn't that far away.

    I'm referring to moving entire operations. Easy to talk about oneself as an individual. As you are looking at the micro rather macro level.

    Arguably Paris or Brussels would be a better location given the direct train link to London. The City of London's influence isn't going to diminish.

    Makes UK produce more price competitive. The old chestnut of buying British.
    Cool. I'll be looking out for British Syrah, British oranges and British almonds next time I pop into Tescos.
    Don't blame me, I voted Remain.

    I was wrong about that - I thought it died a death but I'll stick with what I said - the first parliament vote will be on the terms of the deal. And, if it's not parliament will vote to leave anyway. It's happening.

    We could really do with a shift on so the Brexiteers can get to the acceptance phase.

    A vote on the terms will be exactly the same as a vote on article 50. It'll sail through simply because there won't be any alternative.

    If prefer to buy cheap imported produce over the ability of exporters to compete and win overseas markets for UK produced goods. That's your entirely choice. Sign of the culture today.

    As exit is time constrained. The UK will leave. Deal or no deal.

    So all Brexiteers can relax then.

    There are alternatives if voted down and that's to re-negotiate (with the clock ticking) or leave without a deal. However the government will be wishing to submit a deal which parliament will approve and will have to consider this when negotiating.

    Less chance of being able to get away with a deal which is biased towards being in the best interests of the Conservative party.

    Well this made me laugh.
    Belgium cannot sign a key EU trade deal with Canada, Prime Minister Charles Michel says, because of regional objections

    On Monday, it emerged that two other Socialist-led, French-speaking parliaments also opposed Ceta.
    "The federal government, the German community and Flanders said 'yes.' Wallonia, the Brussels city government and the French community said 'no'," Mr Michel said.
    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-37749236
    Donald Tusk is now expected to tell Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau that the Ceta signing - long planned to take place on Thursday in Brussels - cannot go ahead.
