Sorry to hear that mate. If I was one of your bosses then I would make the leave voters redundant first.

Haha thanks mate. Couldn't agree more
Average IQ was rising in the UK every decade after the war up to1975 then has since been dropping down in those born after 1980 when there was a further sharp drop after that again, so although university numbers might have gone up average UK Intelligence hasnt , something not quite right there .
IQ doesn't really have much credibility as a measure of intelligence though, right? I mean when you actually think about it, the notion of capturing the complexities of human intelligence by a single test is pretty absurd.
Agree Bruce , but still same measurements showing a drop, while around the world they are generally rising so something is wrong, big drop down in today's teenagers in the UK.
I blame to many kopites in the country as they have got more famous and numerous in the UK are scores have dropped .
I think that is a real fact experts should look into its got to be linked.
Its a very sad situation, and the tribalism of rabid leavers will allow little empathy for yourself and others losing their jobs, they will simply return to their checklist of accusations and excuses

No idea where those stats come from. Have you a source? Who's been tested and by whom? None of us I expect.
I think what's been lost in the millennial generation is a can-do attitude, a strive for independence. Brexit should be an opportunity to see what one can do with it, instead they're all moaning.
You too.
Watching boxing mate ,but Google UK iQ rates dropping plenty there if not will get them for you tomorrow.

Diplomacy at its finest. Don't worry we've got this covered lads if it comes to a no deal with politicians like this at the helm...

Welcome back Wayne
Indeed. Also you can actually train yourself to approach I.Q. Tests and achieve a high score.......mind you, those with a low I.Q. Fail to understand this.......
Is it really relevant though Pete?
You have told us you are a recognised expert in your field and that you have traded internationally. I presume a wide experience of culture and nuances.
You say that you can’t trust the Taoiseach because his name isn’t historically Irish enough and that his view is tainted due to British Imperialism.
So how do you actually call suitability for public office in Ireland in these troubled times?

We were taught in uni that they dated and of limited use - and this was 15 years ago. While they can highlight some aspects of certain types of abilities they're not a broad measure of intelligence, particularly modern mental ability. They don't indicate innate intelligence, social intelligence or creativity for example. In fact, certain types of high intelligence could result in lower scores due to the nature of the tests.
From googling, it looks like the survey you're referencing (thanks for making me open a Daily Mail article btw...) was conducted in Norway and not the UK, btw.

You assume reciprocal tariffs. You then went on to mention how we could have tariff-free electrical goods exporting to USA without mentioning that your reciprocal tariffs would mean US electrical goods (of which we import more than export) coming cheaply into the UK and undercutting our home markets.
And in trade, the likes of USA, Japan and China are way more important to our trade than we are to theirs. They have all the leverage.
I don't assume the worst scenario, I expect the likely scenario. That is: trade deals are hammered out over many years, involve all kinds of compromises and concessions, and generally the biggest dog gets the best bit of meat at the end of it. While the US is our biggest export market, we are way down their list of importance
