The Brexit Arms. All welcome.

[surferjet]

So.....how are we all?

Surfer...i agree people are sick of brexit
Sick of the lies the leave vote was based on
Sick of self serving Tory MPs who sought to further their career by jumping on said lying bandwagon
Sick of polls showing the most ardent leavers are ok with decades of economic stagnation.
Yes.
I'm absolutely sick of it.

The EMA had lost senior executives in the wake of the Brexit vote (more than in the last 10 years) and were struggling to recruit staff as reported by the FT in January. It was reported then that 50% may leave if the EMA relocated to a less desirable city.

So that's hardly news either, nor is it surprising that people don't want to uproot their families / lives.

Of course, if the UK were to stay in the EEA then the EMA and the EBA wouldn't have to move.

Oh god

So we got as far as page one

Everyone forgets to use the word some

Some leavers and some remainers

And once again I remember why I stopped coming into the pub

Anyone looking for something a bit more uplifting should follow HM Treasury on Twitter. Gladstone has his own insider blog and InnovateUK are gearing up Unicorn production.

I think Momentum could well do a mini series like the Bisto ads Caroline

We need a NARALT/NALALT rufus
I come in here because I would love to understand the leave POV but I just can't get it. Someone close to me voted leave but they just waffle about "red tape", us being "full" and the 1975 referendum. So no clearer sadly

I accept the result, Brexit means Brexit. I hope those of you who voted for it somehow will be proved right that it will mean a better, more prosperous Britain. And have some respect, my Brexit voting friend said she totally gets our unhappiness having to put up with the uncertain mess we find ourselves facing without voting for it. I was very young at the time; it compares with how people felt in the 80s having to stand Thatcher's Britain. No offence, maybe it was always inevitable we would leave, who knows.

Good news...

Lets not let facts get in the way of a good remainer myth hey Draylon........

That yougov survey was sobering reading wasn't it draylon?
Baby boomers throwing the rest of us - inc their own kids and grandkids - under a bus.

Absolutely Mrsmartel. Lets keep the infinite supply of cheap labour coming shall we. Certainly something to celebrate in Directors offices across the country.

The key to any booming economy?
Immigration.
The key to getting the best scientists/drs/engineers/IT experts?
Immigration.
Simple really

Havent got a clue which yougiv youre spinning now, but assume this bit of predictable bile "Baby boomers throwing the rest of us - inc their own kids and grandkids - under a bus." relates to erasmus?

Have you just popped into the pub to spout bile MrsM? Try the Tapas bar down the road, theyll tell you what life in eu mainland is like for their kids and grandkids and why theyve rushed here to avoid it. Enjoy the tapas anyway.

"The key to any booming economy?

I agree with you With the addition on one word. Controlled. And thats what Brexit is. Welcome to the pub.

Spout bile????

From the NIESR report quoted in Caroline's Graunuad link:

The economy expanded by 0.3 per cent in the second quarter of 2017 according to official statistics. The outturn was in line with the Institute’s nowcast and slightly faster than the 0.2 per cent growth in the previous quarter. Our forecasts for GDP growth for this year and next remain unrevised at 1.7 per cent and 1.9 per cent, respectively. The economy has slowed each year since 2014 and according to our forecast, 2017 will mark the trough for GDP growth. Thereafter, we envisage a modest recovery that takes economic growth to a level that is close to potential.

Inflation, as measured by the consumer price index, is set to increase further, from 2.7 per cent in the second quarter of 2017 to 3 per cent in the final quarter, before easing back to the target rate of 2 per cent in the final quarter of 2019.

Developments in the labour market remain puzzling. The employment rate has risen to a record high of 74.9 per cent in the three months to May 2017, the unemployment rate has dropped to 4.5 per cent, the lowest since 1975, yet wage growth remains muted. Average weekly earnings adjusted for inflation dropped by 0.7 per cent in the three months to May compared to the same period last year.

Our forecasts are conditioned on a return to meaningful productivity growth from 2018 onwards. Failure of such growth to materialise presents a downside risk to our forecast.

And the high levels of youth unemployment in countries such as Spain, Greece, Portugal etc is way more complicated than just letting all them immigrants in to take all jobs at cut rate wages

Of course it is Random, follow the jobs trail or should I say, follow the money. And yep, that is exactly what I posted, thanks for the cut and paste.

Oh dear MrsM. Clearly the

didnt help, and poor Steve Coogan is about to do a Keith Chegwin for the impartial BBC ongoing assault. Hope theyre paying him enough for this potential career ending move.

Whilst we have visitors, how do visiting remainers feel about the European Commission rejecting the 'Stop TTIP' motion tabled last month? Are you pleased TTIP will be back on the EU table in the autumn?

Shoild have read.......Oh dear MrsM. Clearly the didnt help, .....clearly wine messed the post!

Have another

Link messed it up....

Try the Tapas bar down the road, theyll tell you what life in eu mainland is like for their kids and grandkids and why theyve rushed here to avoid it.

There are around 175,000 Spanish citizens in the UK, unless of course you're meaning Tapas Bar to denote all non-UK EU citizens rather than just picking on the Spanish?

random

I think about 300k British live in Spain

They are obviously telling people what life is like in mainland britain...and how they had to escape

Very sad
