    Doubt it.

    After the markets were trashed yesterday we are no-longer the "5th biggest economy in the world" - The French are!

    Just watching the announcement that HSBC are moving a thousand jobs to Paris - not sure I'll ever give a !!!! about working class people again tbh. Hope they're happy when they lose their tax credits and benefits ��

    A day later and this whole thing is a complete mess and what's more it is sapping energy and time that should be spent on other things. Where is our Government? Who on earth do the tories think they are. Why should we wait three months for them to sort out their internal leadership battle and replace one !!!!!! with another !!!!!!.:mad: Get it sorted and then lets have a General Election. Its totally disfunctional at present.

    Meanwhile Sturgeon is running rings around them!
    Soon we'll have a border in Ireland and in Northumberland as well. The Union will consist of England and Wales.....is that what the Brexiteers wanted......they've taken back control........ yes.....of a shrinking state!:eek:

    We are a laughing stock. I am so ashamed to be British at present. We are so small time and deluded. Our future has been decided by people who have no idea what the consequences are of their vote and were really motivated by hatred of immigrants and old farts who were selfishly dreaming of a past they have totally romanticised........... denying the next generation their opportunities in the process.
    Something else as well.......I will personally never accept that 52% is a valid majority ....for such a momentous decision it surely should have had a higher margin. Farage is on record that if Remain won by a narrow margin UKIP wouldn’t consider it settled by a long shot.’


    Leaving a sinking vanity project is hardly a momentous decision, more a lucky escape IMO. Don`t over-rate the bag of dog poo that is the EZ.

    Tell that to the 1000 HSBC workers just about to lose their job. Hope yours is teflon coated.

    if you read the papers over the last 5 years or more, you would know that HSBC have been moving 1000s of jobs off shore for years and made 1000s redundant here
    but why let facts get in the way of prejudice

    Actually those HSBC jobs, like the Morgan Stanley ones would be transfers - as in the people currently doing the job in London relocated. I'm sure some would rejoice at losing a few bankers, but the thing is that the support staff that is currently needed in London for these people are the ones who will, well, no longer be needed - I'm taking secretaries, IT support, mailroom staff, print room...
