We are a tin pot nation now

Why do so many migrants chose this tin pot nation over far better destinations?


How did this tin pot nation come second at the Paralympics and Olympics?


Why does the world chose to render so much trade in English under English law facilitated by the tin pot City and insured by Lloyds?


Why do the Chinese raise Dim Sum bonds primarily in tin pot London?


How do other tin pot nations manage all by themselves - Singapore, Canada (in merely a trade pact), Japan? Life must be awful in these biscuit tins pots?


Which other tin pot is the worlds top soft power?

How exactly do you know that Clapton? You didn't address my points. Have I ever said the EU was perfect. If those countries had not joined would they be better off now.....who can say....but they still seem to want to stay in despite youth unemployment. Do you think unemployment in the UK will grow again when we brexit?

I know that we will NOT have to impose the protectionist EU import tariffs if we leave. This will provide the opportunity to reduce costs when combined with our lower currency value and lower regulations should increase our exports.
There is no reason why the employment laws should significantly change although one hopes that the strike laws will be changed.

Indeed I don't know whether all the other 27 countries would be better off, if they left (or hadn't joined) although I'm pretty sure Greece would be a lot better off and I think the high level of unemployment some to the countries would be less if they were free of the heavy bureaucratic hand of the EU.

However, I believe this is a decision for each country, just as I think our policies should be made by the people of this country.
But you have made it clear, you don't trust the people of the UK with democracy but are happy to give it to europe.

Our global spirit is alive and well.


Watching 'An Island Parish' set in Anguilla, and what did I see - that's right a load of Brits living there. See this so often, we get everywhere, a real can-do spirit - much rarer to see French or Dutch settlers


Saw a documentary about Iguana rescue and who was running the sanctuary on a far flung island - a Brit


Go clubbing to Ibiza or Cyprus, Rhodes or Crete and who dominates the club scene as customers and providers, Brits


Saw 'Thailand' on BBC2 and who did we find was running the local snake protection, and venom collection scheme in a far away jungle town - a Brit of course


A plane goes down anywhere in Egypt or Canada or Ghana and there's invariably a Brit or 2 aboard - occasionally other westerners but never the regularity of Brits on board, we get everywhere


Go to Kuwait or Saudi and who's teaching the local police or military - a retired Brit


Go to any number of Med resorts and who do we find owning and running bars and restaurants? The odd German yes, the odd Swede yes, but tons of Brits. Even in Kas and Kalkan, Turkey aside from Turks, Brits ran everything


Go trekking in Peru or Nepal and yes we see people from all over, but by far the biggest non native contingent is the British


Travel the Maldives islands, and majority of guests are Brits


Get talking to the property agents on the Black sea, and who are the dominant property buyer nation - Britain - with Russia


Go to buy plots of land in Exuma and we find halve the buyers are British, most of the rest Yanks. No Italians or Spanish, British



Go diving in Tubbataha Reefs a million miles from anywhere and who's running the dive school, yes a Brit

All i see them on the news crying if they dont get there own way.
Protesting because they lost a vote...

Snowflakes..
One example
they cant even make it in the own football premiership teams and have to get johnny foreigner to play because their so weak,
we will end u a tin pot nation if we got the youth of today to take over
Disgrace

'My fellow Germans, we can look forward to picking up much of the lost UK club contribution of £25 million per day, and if you vote for me I will make matters still worse by insisting our free trade with the UK ends'


Vot is not to like?

Maybe because Anguilla is a British overseas territory thus its citizens are British?

You do make me laugh Conrad! :rotfl:

Great. A Brit instructing Salafist State Police and Military on how to even better oppress their citizens and refine their torture techniques!
Global Britain!

This is the reality, and why the next generation is likely to suffer from this decision:

/18/hsbc-to-move-1000-staff-from-london-to-paris-after-brexit?utm_medium=Social&utm_campaign=Echobox&utm_source=Twitter&utm_term=Autofeed#link_time=1484748082

The top boss of HSBC has said it is planning to move some staff from London to Paris following Britain’s exit from the European Union.

Chief Executive Stuart Gulliver revealed that in interviews at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.

He said that Europe’s biggest bank would likely look to shift around 1,000 workers who generate around 20 percent of its trading revenue.

HSBC’s global banking and markets division that houses those trading jobs made profits of $384 million in the UK in 2015, according to a company filing.

The timing on that is in around two years’ time when the UK has fully left the EU.

“We’re not moving this year and maybe not even next year. We will move in about two years time when Brexit becomes effective,” Gulliver said.

HSBC is at an advantage to its major US rivals as it already has a large subsidiary in Paris that holds most of the licences needed by an investment bank, meaning Gulliver has been able to set out more detailed plans.

No passporting

International banks had initially hoped they would not have to move any of their employees.

They were counting on Britain retaining access to Europe’s single market which allows them to trade and sell all financial products from London. However such a deal now looks unlikely.

Other banks are expected to announce more concrete plans for how they will adapt to Brexit in the coming months.

The shift of jobs will be a blow to the City of London, which has been lobbying since the Brexit vote for financial firms in Britain to retain their EU ‘passporting rights’ which lets them sell their services across the bloc.

HSBC chief executive Stuart Gulliver said trading operations that generate about 20 per cent of revenue for the lender’s investment bank in London may move to Paris, quantifying some of the aftershocks for the UK after Brexit.

“Activities specifically covered by EU legislation will move, and looking at our own numbers, that’s about 20 per cent of revenue,” Gulliver said in a Bloomberg Television interview at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, with John Micklethwait. The bank confirmed that he was referring to the lender’s global banking and markets operations in the UK capital.

For the Brexiteers so they don't need to reply.
1) He's an expert
2) note the word "May" in the headline
3) so what.

No one has cared previously about the loss of jobs in the UK when they are moved overseas on commercial grounds. Why the concern now. People prefer cheap Chinese imports over UK produced goods. Really is so much hot air spoken. Brexit illustrates how much people don't know. Yet lap up the media coverage if it's the bible.
