The BREXIT SCAM 12 months on

[JOHNNYAITCH]

Fight fans here we go!

 

Evidence for jobs migration from the UK, yep only 1000 jobs initially but how many more in the future.

 

The European Banking Authority (EBA) and European Medicines Agency (EMA), London is the 2nd largest financial center in the world after NYC, the Germans and French have been desparate to take business from London and we hand it to them on a plate. The Uk has a track record of discovering and developing medicines 2nd only to the USA, there was a tough struggle to get the EMA located in Britain.

Whilst I expect 1000s of finance jobs to be lost to Europe (mainly amongst the modest/low paid as the highest paid/skilled will be in demand in mainland Europe and will probably relocate..we will lose their tax and spending though), the EBA in London doesn't even employ 200 staff (last time I looked) so whilst it could potentially be very damaging for them it's not a huge number in the grand scheme of things. EMA is a much bigger deal though...I believe it's one of the biggest 'EU agency' employers in the UK. Again many may relocate but even if they do we lose their tax and spending.

 

However, it may be that given our expertise and experience in these areas, a partnership deal is done allowing the UK to participate..that would certainly make any transition easier, protect the public better during any transition and help save some jobs in the UK

 

Just the start I reckon though.

They are both European bodies associated with the EU so they had to move abroad. All workers have the option to be relocated so potentially very few jobs lost.

 

The banks have been moving out of the UK for years, HSBC has been looking to relocate for well before the referendum. A friend of mines wife works at City bank in Canary Wharf and as of 15 months ago she was one of 200 left from a workforce of over 3000 3 years ago. Labour is cheaper abroad, most the banks are foreign anyway and London has not been the attraction it once was for a long time, there are far better tax havens for banks to lay their routes.

Of course they're European agencies but they were providing jobs in the UK pre-Brexit but now post-Brexit those jobs will be lost, a loss of 1000 no doubt high paying jobs to the UK plus all the add ons like the article says, 40 000 hotel stays/year, what's next.

Citi Group employed 9000 people in London in 2016 and has warned staff of a Brexit jobs risk.

Many banks are considering their situation in the UK post Brexit but hopefully the Government can keep most of the banks and associated jobs in the UK. The London Financial Services sector isn't just about banks but inclubes insurance, equities, bonds currency exchange etc etc, all activities which provide jobs and associated jobs which the UK and it's economy can ill afford to lose.

Many of the banks are foreign owned but choose to have a base in London because of histroy and London being a major financial hub, a position the UK and its economy needs it to maintain rather than a drift of institutions and jobs to Europe.

Many banks disappearing anyway,I've been forced to visit Hanley now because two of my local branches have closed.

[JOHNNYAITCH]

What will all the voles do when the banks have gone?

It's cause you put your gazillions in the stock market.

Free movement to end in March 2019.

 

Not a hope in hell. Your lovely friend Philip Hammond is one of many who will see to it that it is 2022 at least, and more likely not at all.

 

As far as Brexit is concerned, the will of the people will prevail - that is the people with money, not you or I or any of the other fools who think they actually have a say.

Not at all..just that the predicted economic armageddon hasn't happened. The economy will always have it's ups and downs. Anyone who knows the basics of economics and business knew that a vote to leave would cause uncertainty in the short to medium turn which almost inevitably has a negative economic impact...doesn't need a Chancellor to tell us that.

 

Re Virgin Atlantic..interestingly..

 

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2017/07/27/virgin-atlantic-founder-sir-richard-branson-sells-31pc-stake/

Shai Weiss, chief commercial officer for Virgin Atlantic, said the deal was not linked to the UK’s impending exit from the EU.

“I can say really definitively this has nothing to do with Brexit,” he said, adding the rationale was entirely commercial. Mr Weiss said the airline did not fly intra-Europe and so the joint venture was not a way to secure such flying rights post-Brexit.

 

Conflict within Virgin???

 

As you point out, it does look like a conflict within Virgin Airlines as the quote you have shown is directly contradictory to those reported to have been said by Richard Branson! Either way, it looks like the airline is being taken out of British hands and into foreign ownership.

Free movement to end in March 2019.

We only have free movement between Ireland and Northern Ireland now, all other UK borders require passports. All a big con, anything else will require ID cards or a computer system to track everyone coming in and out of the country, and everyone already in the country, Blair wanted it but it was rejected even when he had a large majority. Other EU countries have it and limit people looking for work to 3 months or back they go. Years away.

I think it's already largely foreign owned via foreign airlines,..RB owns a minority of the shares

I'd be interested in your take on what labour's stance is on this? So many apparently different policies being put about by the leadership and great pressure from the Trades Unions to stay in the single market and therefore free movement of people only muddies the waters.

 

Seems like your beloved leader Mr. Corbyn only likes to be high profile for policies he personally likes--funny how he disappears from view when things need to be defined more clearly--a bit like his deafening silence on what is going on in Venezuela! Wasn't it Mr. Corbyn who was lauding Chavez, Maduro and espousing the fantastic socialist values that Venezuela were showing to the world and how the Venezuelan social/economic model was the one we should be following? Funny now that the proverbial has hit the fan socially in that country and with it now also being virtually bankrupt that Corbyn seems to have gone to ground and refuses to comment on the situation there. Of course, your wonderful leader is such a man of principal, how dare I question his ethics, economic literacy and socialist credentials? I'm very interested in your take on this one.

Jon Snow and the BBC will probably ask him for his views at the next Glastonbury.

Venezuala...don't you know it's all America's fault?

 

JC has probably gone on holiday like TM..where I don't know..maybe somewhere in South America?
