Dat positive Brexit effect

6/10 people in that poll are banana splits who are strawberry floating with my ability to go to work in peace then. Not surprising.

So much of this is just beyond comprehension anymore. I'm deeply ashamed to be from the United Kingdom.

Jeremy Hunt is getting very angry at Jeremy Hunt.

“We have to make a decision on Britain’s future relationship with the EU by the end of this year and we have to be very honest with ourselves about the choices that we face. At the moment we are heading for no deal by accident.”

I agree with Jeremy Hunt, this is a very grave situation. If only he were in a position of power to do something about it, like that Jeremy Hunt fellow.

Seriously through, this is a schizophrenic government. What exactly do they want from the EU? They already rejected the Customs Union, Single Market, EEA. The EU offered them an ordinary FTA like with Canada and apparently that's no good either. They have been given all manner of options. strawberry floating pick one.

At the moment they resemble a mad man holding a gun to his own head and screaming demands at the police.

The term 'No deal by accident' is strawberry floating hilarious though. It can hardly be classed as an accident if you've been strawberry floating around for 2 years.

The term should be 'No deal by stupidity'.

James O'Brien arguing that if Labour had a different leader who came out and said a vote for labour would mean stopping Brexit and another referendum that they'd walk the next election.

Hard to argue against that view tbh.

It would depend on who the leader is and what their policies are. But assuming a different Labour leader wasn’t a complete banana split, it is hard to imagine that they wouldn’t walk it. The Tories are in utter chaos at the moment, Labour really should be cleaning up.

If the population decreases then less people need council services. Interesting I will suggest this to Northamptonshire County Council as a solution to our current problems

Apart from that the next election is 2022

semi GOOD NEWS

The City will lose as few as 5,000 jobs because of Brexit - far lower than originally feared - according to an estimate by the City of London Corporation due to be released in September.

The internal report, shared ahead of time with politics specialist Politico, suggest the City of London Corporation has rowed back from previous estimates that put the total job losses at as much as 75,000, based on a 2016 report by consultants Oliver Wyman.

It now believes between 5,000 and 13,000 London-based jobs will have gone by the time the UK leaves the EU in March next year.

Policy chief Catherine McGuinnness had told the Brexit Select Committee she believed the initial job loss would come in between 3,500 and 12,000, although warned it could creep up in the subsequent months depending on the type of deal the UK government reaches with Brussels.

Lord mayor of London Charles Bowman told Politico the City feels increasingly confident that “barring dotting of i’s and crossing of t’s,” the transition period is a done deal, and that the sector will back the government on its new model of expanded equivalence, despite having pushed for the closer model of mutual recognition.

“We will be working with all our stakeholders in the weeks ahead to determine what that looks like,” Bowman said.

He argued the City’s future will be defined less by Brexit than new developments like the rise of fintech, which accounts for around 50,000 of the City’s 483,000 jobs.

“If we are to lose some of [the existing] jobs, they are going to be the jobs that probably in five-to-10 year’s time are not going to be around, or are not going to be in the same shape or form as today — because the sort of joining of technology with finance at this moment in time is creating a very different dynamic,” he said.

5000 job losses in the best case scenario (other than the don’t leave scenario). What a success Brexit sounds.

And we are not very close to that scenario at the moment.

[Jenuall]

Hmm, nice attempt at some positive spin in those pieces but losing between 5,000 and 13,000 jobs before we have even left the EU is not good news, especially as the City will no doubt lose a whole lot more as the reality of the shifts in the global financial market sets in post-Brexit.

London will not be anywhere near as attractive a location to run financial services from, that is the case now and it is going to get a whole lot worse over the coming years.

Dear strawberry floating god, how does the majority of a survey believe something like that? I blame the internet, it's going to be responsible for the extinction of the human race.

I'd ask for a Venn diagram correlating this with Brexit voters, but it would just be one circle on top of the other

Let’s take back control of our tides and get rid of shackles of the moon!

[KK]

Can't say I'm surprised. Every single American I've ever spoken to in the last 5 or so years has believed at least one of the following: the moon landings were fake, 9/11 was an inside job, the earth is flat, there are lizard people in the core of the earth withholding scriptures of the bible (something like that anyway), ghosts, or Sandy Hook and the Boston Bombings were false flags. Goes without saying we in the UK would eventually follow that thought process somewhere along the line. I blame the internet, and in particular YouTube.

Aliens I can at least get behind, though I don't think we've seen any yet.

FAKE EDIT: Area 51. How could I forget that one. Add that to the list.
