Current Affairs EU In or Out

[Bruce Wayne]

I had a call yesterday with the CEO of a very successful French fintech company. He said while philosophically he was very sad about Brexit, from a competitive standpoint it's been great for his business as it pretty much removed his London-based rival from the landscape in a swoop. I was tempted to tell him to just wait until his British rival had learned how to fill out forms correctly, but bit my tongue.

Colour me shocked that the jingoist brings up a war that he had no involvement in.

Colour me shocked that you have no sense of humour....

It was the lack of passporting. The startup works with interbank transfers so that's kinda fundamental.

What should British participation in the war grant British citizens in terms of their status in the EU Pete? And should Australian, Indian, Canadian and all the other non-EU, non-British participants in the war be granted the same rights?
