If we vote for Brexit what happens

Thrugelmir

Late in the day to be concerned with the sale of UK business to foreign owners. Been going on for a very long time. The UK prefers property to owning companies.

That's obviously not what is meant. It means business being moved from the UK to Europe, not UK businesses being acquired by foreign owners.

did any business get moved to Europe before we voted out?
Yes.
I don't get what point your trying to make.

Very simple point - the expectation is that as a result of the Leave vote, significantly more business will move out of the UK than otherwise would have and less business will move into the UK.

Must have read a different article then to the one you linked to.

Brexit uncertainty has put floats and takeovers on hold, KPMG says.
Accountancy firm also warns British companies could become prey for foreign predators in wake of referendum result

I've yet to read of any major business vacating these shores entirely. Outsourcing of IT support services to Poland has been a trend for some time. I can go back 8 years for one German company that I contracted for that undertook this action.

oh an expectation.
Like the expectation the remain voter had that we would vote stay.

more scaremongering.

I voted leave as I thought it had changed far too much from the Common Market we joined. If things were equal it would be different but I think the bits of Europe that are actually joined together get a far better deal between themselves.
The things that get EU money in Spain we can't get here. Why should we have to keep foreigners here who have committed crimes in their own country then again here when they leave jail. Look how much it cost to keep Hamanza here, I believe his family is still here living on benefits although I may be mistaken....

It should be noted that not only have the rules changed since we joined the common market but the number of countries and disparit of incomes has increased hugely. If the EU were still the original common market members I don't suppose freedom of movement would have been an issue. This is not a question of differences in race/culture, simply maths/economics, the original commonwealth countries had very many fewer people for whom UK miniumum wage/benefits would be a huge draw.

That is the Guardian's synopsis - but the quote from the KPMG partner did not say that.

Any examples?

While we were there for March we were told the new promenade was being built with EU money, as was the motorway from the airport to Vera.
It may not be true but several different Spanish people told us.....
