Jaguar Land Rover are opening a research facility in Shannon ROI. 150 jobs.
Would these jobs have been in Britain but for Brexit. You decide.

Unlike you I read the full article. Worth pointing out.

The company said it had selected Shannon, in western Ireland, for the new research centre because it is seen as an international hub for software engineering. Microchip giant Intel, which is also racing to make drivers obselete, has had a research facility in Shannon since 2000.

Ralf Speth, chief executive of JLR, has said that despite Brexit, the company’s R&D efforts will remain in the UK, citing the company’s “Britishness” as one of its key selling points

Software jobs are freely advertised here when they are based in Ireland. I seem to remember they speak the same language and everything !

It's not really an issue. Anyway, JLR is an Indian company, so why wouldn't an Indian success investment story not spur on other Indian investors to look for opportunities here? Brexit is just a footnote in the due diligence process.

Now now boys, break it up.

It is quite clear that we were VERY lucky to be born in this country.

You admit that Arklight, so why on earth are you so desperate to see it destroyed?

At the same time illegal immigrants are desperate to get here.

Refugees will always be welcome, but it is all the idiots that have jumped on the bandwagon that have destroyed their status. The amount of economic migrants that were interviewed on TV is ridiculous. They openly admit they are from places like Bangladesh and expect to continue their journey to the place they choose within the eu.

As far as I am concerned, anyone that gets caught trying to enter this country illegally should be put on the next boat back to France, it is their borders that are causing the problems, they let them in so they should deal with them. If they are genuine refugees then they should claim asylum or refugee status in the first safe country they enter. If they have legal reasons to come here then that can be dealt with through legal channels.

As for the people smugglers, as soon as they are caught they should be put in jail, and as soon as there are enough of them they should be loaded into an overcrowded, poorly maintained boat, towed out into the middle of the channel and left to cope alone.

As for the open borders within the eu, anyone with half a brain could have told them that this would happen, people would take full advantage of the fact people couldn't be bothered to police their borders.

I can only hope that we will never rejoin the protectionist dictatorship that is the eu. The strange thing is I voted to remain, I certainly would not now, they have shown that their hand contains only marked cards, even if we had stayed in they would now be plotting to ensure that we had to join the eu, and with the aim to get another 5 eastern European countries in the fold (and the consequent upset that causes to Russia, which is likely to bring the prospect of war closer, all down the the federalist ambitions of the eu to take over the world) they would want far more money from us.

The eu needs to stop trying to take over the world and deal with the problems that are facing it now instead of leaving the world on a knife edge,

What on earth do migrants from commonwealth countries have to do with the EU?

Yet more good news for the UK.

UK employment surges to record high, wages edge up

Curse those Brexiteers!

More jobs.
Higher wages.
Higher productivity.
Continued steady growth.
A decreasing budget deficit.
Increased manufacturing and exports.

Of course it would all have been even better if we'd voted remain instead!
Supposedly.

Because that's what self loathing virtue signallers do.

They were on the gravy train, along with the Nigerians and everyone else.

A vast amount of the so-called refugees were economic migrants who simply joined in because they thought there would be safety in numbers.

You people have a miserable view of the world. It’s no wonder you hate everything so much.

We could have the hardest of hard Brexits and ban every foreigner from the country and you'd still find fault with everything around you.

Is it so wrong to think people should obey the law?

Really? That's the sort of thing you report? I wondered who it was.

Never reported anyone on any forum ever. If I was going to, I certainly wouldn't announce it. But if people want to issue gratuitous insults, I might think about it.
