Their gain our loss.

More room for tourists. Who'll travel further than simply in and out of London.

I need to remember this line when the next major organisation moves jobs to the continent.

Genius. :rotfl:

Unless you think the 30,000 hotel nights booked by EMA visitors are preventing tourists from visiting then there's a net loss of 30,000 hotel nights. I wonder who spends more. The average tourist or average person with an expense account.

The reality is that there will be positives and negatives associated with Brexit. This is a negative so better to retain credibility and acknowledge it as such.

If the UK isn't doing so well then who do you think it's down to to improve that? Aren't you all part of the UK, perhaps it's time to pull all of our fingers out and produce something for ourselves.

Average tourist. Average people don't normally access expense accounts. Travel expenses are on the whole highly regulated. Corporate hotel rates as well being available.

Well if those 30,000 hotel nights are allocated to tourists who were previously being blocked from London by those pesky visitors to the EMA we'll be quids in. Fantasy economics of course.

I don't know about anyone else but I stay in much nicer places on business than I can afford to on holiday.

Given the older you are the more likely you were to vote leave the burden will fall on remain voters to get on with it. Leave voters are more likely to be spectators.

Generalisation of course but seems a fair assumption.

Im under 40 and voted leave and am more than happy to do my bit to generate income, as an employer I already do.

We have become a very lazy group of nations due to buying in help, it's time that stopped and we were forced to do something ourselves. I voted leave in the hope that would happen but let's see, so far I've just seen moaning and people being very defeated by the thought of trying.

Like I said it was a generalisation. It would've been less provocative to say the burden will fall on the young however they voted.

You might have noticed a lot of moaning but people are getting on with their lives at the same time. I've done plenty of moaning but it hasn't got in the way of making the best of it.

As an employer you'll realise that no matter how enthusiastic you are about Brexit it has and will increase uncertainty for years ahead.

Why bother, nobody will care? All you've done since Remain lost the vote is talk down the country & rejoice in everything that looks like it might mean a worse deal for the UK. Do you actually WANT the UK to get a terrible deal? Everything you post suggests you do. A bit weird if I'm honest, presuming you live here.
