I can admit that I'm wrong when I am wrong, but in this instance I'm right.

Just because someone disagrees with you and your opinion doesn't make them wrong.

And I'm quite sure that Somerset will continue to make plenty of money from their UK domiciled funds as well as the ones they've always had outside the UK, including their current one in Ireland and the new one they're opening there.

I saw this and I thought of you

a no deal Brexit is worse for for the Euro,

How do you work that one out when the GDP of the Euro countries is about 7 times that of the UK?
(Did it came from the same source as the one that told us leaving the EU would give us an extra £350 million a week to spend on the NHS :rotfl: )

Presumably Rees Mogg is wealthy enough to buy a visa for just about any country in the world, this is in stark contrast to 99% of the UK population who'll soon lose Freedom to settle in 27 EU countries

And as long as we leave the EU so they avoid an EU wide tax treaty, he can domicile in one of Her Majesty's Tax Havens and avoid paying tax. Like the £billionaire 'newspaper' owners telling us to vote for Brexit.

Because 99% of the population were constantly doing that before, flitting between Talinn and Toulouse, emailing the office on their laptop while sipping macchiatos and conversing with the locals in six languages. Janice who works on a production line in Sunderland and takes the bus home doesn't give a crap that you might have to spend an hour of your free time applying for a visa, bad luck.

Every single person who actually has the means to live that lifestyle will still be able to. We already needed a passport to visit any other country in the EU (unlike most Europeans), nothing significant will change.

And likewise if Janice ends up on the dole after her factory moves from Sunderland to the EU or has to put in 60 hour weeks thanks to loss of employee rights.... I won't give a crap about her plight...

You forgot your sarcastic smiley icon. even the most ardent remainers cannot claim that the EU is some bastion of democracy.

neither is the UK. Ironically the way MEPs are elected is far more democratic than the way we elect our own MPs.
I suspect the EU is as democratic as it could possibly be given its status as a multi-nation conglomerate. Personally, I would be far more concerned about any rise of nationalism across the continent than the ill-conceived perception that the EU is undemocratic.

Rees Mogg could not a give rat's *rse how his vision of Brexit would affect us all. He is an anarcho-Thatcherite who is well aware there will be "wonderful opportunities" for the likes of him to make a lot of money from distressed assets. He also reckons that what's good enough for India must be good enough for us when it comes to safety standards. I detest him as much as I detest that other self regarding dork - Bojo

Recent events in Turkey should be a salutary lesson for the UK. Turkey is an "independent" country and NATO member, nonetheless it's getting bullied by the US with their economy now in a death spiral
