Current Affairs EU In or Out

[orchard]

Lots of people, politicians, media, campaign workers etc played a role in obtaining a specific vote outcome but have no responsibility for the detailed plan......the likes of Farage have spent years deliberately winding up EU personnel and other MEP's, it is sensible to keep him away from any future discussions......

Boris though ?

So surely he should have had no role to play in the campaigning whatsoever then? If he had absolutely no accountability for the nonsense that came out of his mouth, why should he have been given any platform at all? I suppose in some ways it fits with the 'post-truth' world we're in, that there is absolutely no accountability for anything a populist politician says.

You are not 'seeing the wood for the trees' so to speak, Bruce!

You have to understand the separation between canvassing for a particular result in an election/referendum, and the post-election/referendum work that then takes place. The two are quite separate and distinct.

Based on the outcome, the (new) Government of the day and the Civil Service act upon the way forward to achieve the new goals, outwith anything that has gone before by way of canvassing/public views by politicians/big names of whatever political shade.

Thos involved in canvassing for either side up to and including 22nd June do not necessarily have any role whatsoever post 23rd June in the implementation, whichever way that has to go.

It's as simple as that. It really is...

how come the other EU counties can talk trade with the outside world to steal are business , but we cant as we are still in it ,bit two faced that typical EU

The rules are only for us to obey. However I'm sure that if there is no deal or is a politically spiteful one then companies from Europe will be looking to set up in the UK as well. Remember they sell more to us than we do to them. We will still need cars etc etc after we leave, just maybe ones that are made in the UK.......

Boris can charm the birds from the trees when he wishes, and usually in their own language.......

The rest of the EU is already becoming our competitor rather than our co-collaborator...

Interesting article mate, no one ever said it was going to e easy. But remember these companies are not interested inthe well beingof our country only the well being of their companies and stuff us.

That item about an investment fund immediately withdrawing $17 billion worth, wonder where it went?? That is exactly the action which drove our currency down, not the economy. It is the super rich and their companies who gamble with currencies.

I had to look that up.......Gone right off biscuits....

urm like Nissan?
competitors with zero growth?

The UK isn't even in the top ten for growth in the EU.

The rest of the EU has always been a competitor...

And a collaborator. What was in our interests was often in theirs and vice versa. That's going to be less the case.

I agree, but that doesn't take away from the fact that there will be jobs on the line.

There's more than £400 billion a day traded in Sterling so whilst the investment fund withdrawing $17 billion has consequences it is not the reason for Sterling's calamitous fall since June 23rd. Sterling's fall us a reflection on the market's view of our economic prospects post Brexit.

Why? Do you believe they will be spiteful and throw their toys out of the pram ?.....

Well they've got that wrong then haven't they.....

Oh dear, better than first-hand exposure, so to speak.

But seriously, i'm sure he can be charming, but trustworthy???

I think that they will be able to attract companies that gain a lot from having a base in the EU and can essentially 'passport' their goods and services into all EU countries.

Of course this is nothing new, but may well lead to companies with bases in the UK to move for that reason.

Okay mate. At say £1 = $1.20 then £400 bill = $480 bill So £ drops to $1.18, lets sell our $ and buy £. Then $480 bill = £408 bill, not bad just made £8 bill. £ climbs back up to $1.20 so £408 bill = $489 bill. Another nice little earner. I think I am getting how it works now for these folk but not for the rest of us who have to suffer and endure their greed.
