The Brexit Arms. A friendly place for anyone wanting to chat about Brexit.

Pull up a chair and relax.....

On my teabreak Surfer then I promise to get on with the ironing .

Interesting warning from Sadiq Khan only slightly more subtle that BJ.

"What's crucial is that we have privileged access to a single market. What's crucial is that we continue to attract talent.

"Hard Brexit does London damage, does our country damage but the point I'm making to our European friends, businesses and political leaders is if businesses decide to leave London, they aren't going to Paris, Madrid or Frankfurt.

"They'll be going to Hong Kong, Singapore or New York."

that's why I don't go on the other thread, all the posts are a mile long. I could do a weeks shopping by the time I've read one & thought of a half decent reply.
Too time consuming.

Thanks for the 'chin chin' howabout - I have been suitably rallied and will throw off my despondent cloak

I should be doing an essay, but am not interested enough in it - hence my constant search for distractions.
I'm back at uni at end of Jan so will be suitably occupied again then, I really can't be fucking arsed though in honesty - I've got too attached to lounging around doing a great deal of cock-all....!!

how some interesting stuff there thanks. A while go a bank said it would need to move people and of course a simple dept realignment to be in the EU with main operations till in the UK was turned into mass bank exodus.

Its very clear who has faith in the UK isn't it - and those who think we only survive because of Brussels. For those who have the time and stamina to keep going round in circles, perhaps energy better spent looking into that difference. Why are some of us so much more optimistic and happy about Brexit?

actually don't answer that, we know the response from some

Interesting Merkel not there at Davos - too busy - not the zeitgeist anymore? Out of touch, embarrassed?

of course its more likely Merkel is in back to back crisis meetings desperately trying to come up with ways to force business to back her at Brexit negotiations.

Has any one seen MangoMoon recently?

A triple whisky please. Someone please take remote control of my laptop (preferably not microsoft scammers) and block me from posting on other EU ref threads or I'm in danger of saying something which will get me banned. And breathe. 'Can we start calling it what it is' thread has just reached a new low.

Pleased to read news from Barclays.

No I haven't seen MangoMoon for a while, I just did a search, seems last post was 7 Jan. I hope she is ok.

A new low indeed!

You've had a reply on the thread Rorty!

I shall let them unruffle all their feathers

Piers Morgan & Lionel Shriver are making me lol on question time tonight

I missed Lionel Shriver

PH (does neutral work as a nickname?) speaking in Davos:
"Our first duty as an elected government is to protect the living standards of our people and that means the competitiveness of our economy."

Never did think he was talking about a race to the bottom myself

Howabout - neither did I . Oooh also Happy Birthday

Howabout's b'day?!

Happy B'day!!!!
🎁🎈🎉

Morning everyone - Happy Birthday How about!

Some good bday news for you - Hiroto Saikawa CEO of Nissan on TM speech " It is quite clear they intend to keep the same competitive environment for us " Sir Mike Rake - chairman of BT said speech was positive and Sir Christopher Pissarides - Nobel Laureate at LSE - Remainer said PM right to push case for open free trade.

I also find this idea of cherry picking interesting.

The EU wants to punish us - and yet - are we not being punished by stopping this wonderful FOM they love? Isn't that punishment enough?

HA!!!

So Pleased PH has now directly laid the blame for Brexit at Blairs feet in Davos- Blairs natural habitat. ( accrd to sky).

I honestly feel he needs to be hauled in front of court - to explain his actions.

Crossed wires not my b'day but always happy to stop for tea and cake .

I think we need someone with the poster posting knowhow to look out a fetching pic of PH for the wall.

PH Neutral in "untidy goth & great kisser" shocker!

Howabout - whoops that was my mistake. Thank goodness it's Friday is all I can say. Enjoy your

Its MY birthday. Bloody 50

Ahhh it's you Bored!! Howabout is going to have to give the birthday cake back now.

Happy Birthday (and I am not far behind you!!)

Happy b'day Bored!!!
