Westministers: Operation Over The Cliff

[RedToothBrush]

Bit late and didn't realise the last thread was so close to the end... so this is a very quick OP

What do you think the secret continency plan name the government have in place for the No Deal?

Suggestions Please

I am over 65, pay UK tax on my occupational pension and would willingly pay more even though I don't live there.
I would like to be allowed to keep my vote though.

I am happy to report that none of the over 60's in my family, not even my unthinkingly Tory MIL voted leave.
I would fall into the okay paying more tax for services category but one of the things that made me determined to leave UK while Brexit was undertaken was a refusal to pay for the thing out of our taxes. Oddly I never expected a Brexit bonus!

Not all over 60s please. Not those who voted Remain. By all means round up under 60 year old Leavers for fruit picking, and car washing etc. This is what they voted for.

Every single day there's more news like this. Despite what Leavers say there aren't corresponding stories of incoming businesses and investment...

Bank of America Merrill Lynch (BAML) is relocating senior executives to Paris as it shifts some investment banking operations out of the UK ahead of Brexit.

BAML is also expected to start moving staff to Dublin – which will serve as its post-Brexit EU hub – next month.

Around 125 UK staff working in control and support function roles including finance, risk, compliance, tech and operations as well as wholesale credit will be moved “predominantly” to Ireland from July 2018.

Meanwhile ... Germany goes down to its worst World Cup defeat since 1938.

Petty? Sure. Satisfying? Hell yes!

Childish ? Yes

Relevance to Brexit? Zero...

Plenty of relevance if her supporters decide that fucking up their country is one thing, but allowing their national team to be Mannschafted by South Korea is the final straw...

Only Scotland cheers when England crash
Other teams don't care

I'd take England crashing out of a football tournament in lieu of the whole of the UK crashing out Europe. But as a Scot that isn't saying much!

At least the guys kicking the balls around can have another go next year.

Not all the Germans I know agree with their current leadership but all agree we have totally lost the plot, I will be happier when fellow Europeans don't feel the need to give me sympathetic looks when discussing my country.

Goodness, the last thread filled up suddenly!

Well if we're stupid enough to believe the national football teams are any indication of how a country is doing then we'd best send Harry Kane over to do the negotiating. He's probably got more of a clue about brexit that half the government anyway.

Ok, ok, I get it - don't mention the VAR.

I mentioned it once, but I think I got away with it.

Interesting choice of headline by the BBC

Bank’s red light warning for EU on lack of Brexit progress
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-44629271

Reading the article but admittedly not the BoE report itself it would appear that the UK, through the Withdrawal Bill, has put in place temporary arrangements for financial service but the nasty EU has not

I think to be fair on the BoE, it is simply highlighting this as a risk - but the BBC's reporting implies that it is the EU's "fault" and down to a lack of urgency on its part

Given that the UK still hasn't worked out WTF it wants to do and which sort of Brexit it wants and when it wants it, I'm not surprised that the EU hasn't put in place explicitly plans

We want Brexit don't you know and we want it NOW. Get over it.

54321go You're not wrong, that is about the level of debate in some quarters!

No, we want to cherry pick the bits of the EU we want and not pay. But we have to call it Brexit to fool the plebs i.e. most of us, but not old Etonians like Johnson.

Why should the EU put in place temporary arrangements for financial services? We want out, we want to do business elsewhere!

Female support for the 'brexit' is collapsing (thanks @mumsnet)

Since the port of Rotterdam and many other European companies are preparing I suspect the EU banking sector will have a plan up their sleeve but keeping it secret. IIRC it was Mr Junker who said recently there was over a Trillion Euros 'earmarked' to help EU companies with Brexit.

I'm not surprised woman

How many male posters so you see worrying about how to feed their kids after brexit?

Or how to carry on getting access get lifesaving prescription meds?

Not bloody many!!

I would imagine there are a lot of women like me who think "ok. Whatever. Don't care what you do to me, but you don't mess with my kids"

And some more statistics on the Fuckbusiness exit....

35 per cent of companies plan to reduce UK investment post-Brexit.

41 per cent plan to move a large amount of capacity out of the UK

42 per cent plan to shift capacity to the euro zone.

safeguarded jobs in the UK have fallen 54 per cent in the past year

number of UK projects funded by Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) dropped nine per cent.
