So ........... are you saying those investments would still have been made had we said we would retain EU membership?

Ask Conrad. It's his list. I think he's too busy though at present trying to google his way out another big hole he's dug for himself!

Sorry I meant every 10 weeks

No worries mate.
Okay, 3bn every 10 weeks.
Should be a good boost for our NHS once we get to 2019-2020.
Really looking forward to it.

One swallow does not make a summer. You know as well as anyone businesses as a whole are not happy about the UK leaving the EU. Thery are hardly saying 'we are straining at the leash to move to the UK' once single market access goes. So stop the Josef Goebbels propaganda nonsense!

There is a whole flock of swallows though, as shown above and as consistently shown in this thread.
Or do you need sunburn for proof that the sun is shining?

BTW, could the copycat references to propaganda not at least be original?

Around 40% of the UK’s trade surplus in financial services is with Europe.
However, over the next 10 – 15 years, 90% of global economic growth is expected to be generated outside Europe and these markets – developed and emerging – must be a priority focus for the country post-Brexit."

Is this the happy clappy Conrad crystal ball forecasting our wonderful entrepreneurial future. The brexiteers of Sunderland will scarcely have time to boil the water for their pot noodle before they have to attend another video conference on the exciting prospects of the Asian futures market!

I know that James Dyson is investing in the UK for research and development and that is definitely a very good thing. He's investing in highly skilled jobs and people, in Britain and I think we sorely need that. I hope Dyson remains in the UK as a British business and doesn't just end up being sold off to an American or Japanese multinational, like Cadburys or ARM, asset stripped and forgotten about.

You can't ignore the fact however that when it came to ordinary manufacturing jobs done by ordinary non PhD holding people making his vacuums, he decided to axe his entire British workforce in favour of Malaysians.

You might suspect therefore, that brilliant entrepreneur he might be, he may also not be entirely excited about Brexit because he thinks it will be great for the average Joe.

It is indeed good for the UK and from reports, Dyson is unlikely to sell out.

Regarding the move - at that time (2002/3 btw when 1GB£ = US$2) Dyson was indeed maintaining profitability, hence my personal dislike as said earlier.
This however is absolutely no different to the majority of business - or are you suggesting that most business actually cares for "the average Joe"?
That may be described as delusional; business cares about profits, not the workers.
Although it may be rash to generalise, this applies pretty much everywhere.
Relating it to Brexit is disingenuous.

The sun will always shine and we'll always do trade and we'll all be able to produce lists....granted.....but that's not the point.....do we make doing trade easier or harder by leaving the EU? I say harder!

The EU talk and attempts of enticing London's financial services post-Brexit is not increasing EU financial service standing globally:

The Z/Yen global financial centres index (GFCI), which ranks 88 financial centres, still puts London in first place, followed by New York and three cities in economically powerful Asia - Singapore, Hong Kong and Tokyo.

"London slipping is not to the benefit of continental Europe," said Michael Mainelli of Z/Yen Group.
"That is largely due to perceptions of Europe. The notion that we are a tired old continent is raised quite a bit," he said, referring to the survey.

Stop wriggling like a worm on a pin. It's demeaning Conrad. I'm asking you for a list of laws that the overbearing EU has imposed on us in good ol blighty against the will of our Parliament?

I'm not going to play along with this old chestnut, James O'Brien's fave tactic on LBC, which he thinks is a 'gotcha question' as he cannot debate properly.


If you guys wish to think we have not endured a raft of law from Brussels, hey ho, enjoy the moonshine matey.


Why are you so afraid of autonomy and independence, does change scare you, cant we cope with responsibility? Never mind, get Momma to make you a nice warm dwink to calm your poor nerves.

Your voice is worth something because?
Personally I prefer to balance the huge variety of reports from people directly-connected and with vested interests, on both sides of the debate.
These suggest on balance both that trade will increase and that doing trade will be easier.

Ha, so apart from us, the top 5 are all independent nations and not in the marvellous EU.


Fancy that, independent nations prospering without the men of Brussels holding their hands.
