Anyway, just reporting the news today in case you missed it. Iain Duncan Smith is frothing at the mouth with rage.It all seems so stupid it makes me want to give up.
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid ?0 -

I recall posting after the Brexit vote that Ireland could be next to quit the EU. I can't see it being the French unless Le Pen becomes the next PM which is unlikely given that the opposition will unite against her.
There's a much more obvious reason why the Irish could leave - money. Having been net recipients of EU funding for many years, they are now contributors and that will increase to around €3bn a year even before the UK's contributions end. That's a lot of money for a small country.0 -

Doesn't matter. The Supreme Court ultimately determines civil law for the whole of the UK.

The Google announcement confirming a massive HQ in the UK and thousands more jobs pretty much kills the Remoaner notion we are going darn the pan. Why aren't they choosing the EU instead, I mean it's so much more viable....
Because that will have been planned a year ago at least and Google have said the UK must keep free movement. We are fortunate that Google,like Nissan, haven't cancelled their pre Brexit plans after assurances from the UK government that brexitwits won't get free reign.0 -

http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/newreply.php?do=newreply&p=71618468But Mr Pichai made it clear the strength of the UK economy went far beyond the Brexit vote.
"The innovation we see here, the talent we have available here and how on the cutting edge of technology we are able to be here makes it an incredible place for us to invest," he said.
"We do value how open and connected it is and we can bring in talent from anywhere in the world and we value those attributes and we are optimistic that those will stay true over time.
"So we did [make the investment decision] taking into consideration [the referendum], but we are very optimistic."
Sounds like the final decision was taken after the result, and they're still 'very optimistic'.
I don't think he has said that we have to keep free movement, just not prevent skilled migration. Which is fair enough.“I could see that, if not actually disgruntled, he was far from being gruntled.” - P.G. Wodehouse0 -

If the Brexitwazzocks have their way Google won't even be able to bring in talent from France, and the Scots will need a visa, so don't get too excited...0
