Genuine question.
I know some people are desperately worried about their jobs and some will be lost due to being funded directly by the EU.
But won't more businesses want to move to the UK now? We are geographically ideally placed to do business across Europe, obviously we all speak English which is a crucial business language. We have the infastructre in place. We have London which is one of the main business capitals of the world and was even before the EU.
We have plenty of industrial land stood empty. We have ports and airports and a decent motorway network. We have the technology and science being researched at some of the world's best universities.
And because we are a small island it's easy to get around.
Add to that the fact we have just left the EU and can now set our own (slightly less barmy) rules and regulations and don't have to negotiate trade agreements to suit all eu countries surely worldwide and European business will be looking at the Uk and seriously considering all the positives.
Also with regards to trade deals worldwide how does the work at present with stuff like textiles and technology we import from outside the UK? So does primark for instance negotiate what it wants to buy from Bangladesh directly or is there a trade agreement already in place with Bangladesh and the EU?
