Pat, I would have been happy to leave 3 years ago on WTO, take the hit/ upheaval and get on with it.
We would have been an independent trading nation today, when everything goes tits up it's better to be smaller and therefore quicker to turn things around. Just look how long the EU have effectively been in recovery since 2008.
Regarding financial services and passporting rights I would like to remind you about Carney's latest statement on this, he said, and I have posted this before......
Mark Carney, the outgoing Governor of the Bank, not only acknowledged in an interview that the UK should not agree to align its financial regulations with those of the EU, he went further. He called for the Government not to compromise on this to try to get preferential trade terms.

This is an extraordinary volte-face for he was part of the Project Fear camp before the 2016 referendum, but it makes a lot of sense.

It varies from market to market, but as a rule of thumb Europe accounts for about 20 per cent of London's financial services business. So much better to focus on the 80 per cent, which would be at risk if the City had European rules imposed on it.

In any case, London can serve the European market by setting up local subsidiaries, or by its European customers setting up UK offices to access the City.
I rest my case, the city has nothing to fear from the EU's bluster.
They're more interested in negotiating fishing rights before passporting rights and any trade deal.

You see what I mean, look at the last post, there's a person with pride in his country.

Pat, after we leave everything will be blamed on Brexit, just like you and others on here are already doing right now.
When the jobs disappear (which they will at sometime, nothing is forever) it won't just be in the UK, but leaving the EU will be the cause.
Peeps are quick to denigrate the UK, they listen and read all the negativity and believe it.
You might want to try some positivity, you'll be surprised how benefiting it can be.

Here's a few lies eccles-
European Council President Donald Tusk, said western political civilisation would be destroyed if the UK voted 'Leave'.
George Osborne predicted tax rises and spending cuts would be implemented.
3 million people in the UK will lose their jobs was the fictitious figure banded about.
David Cameron implied in a speech about the "serried rows of white headstones" that World War 3 would be upon us if Brexit occurred.
"A dangerous fantasy" is how Nick Clegg described Nigel Farage's claim of EU plans to create an army.
David Cameron said he wouldn't resign as Prime Minister if he lost the Referendum vote. Enough said.
Universities wanted the UK to remain in the EU because leaving would result in Horizon 2020 funding disappearing.
350m (I suppose you answer all your scam phone calls) expenditure will have exceeded that figure
Immigration, we're still subjected to free movement as we haven't left yet, didn't you know.
The economic advantage will become apparent to all, stay tuned.
Oh, BTW trade deals will be done in a year, wrong again, they'll be done within 11 months.
Who has personally suffered at the hands of the EU, well you could start asking the youth of any southern EU country.

Come on eccles04, it's all been said before on here, just accept it move on and enjoy the ride.

Best you contact Jess Phillips about Birmingham General, you'll see it's all about the Carillion failure not to mention the local hospital trust dragging their feet finding a replacement contractor (that's where Jess Phillips comes in)
BTW this has affected 14 other hospitals.
What's this got to do with EU alignment?
Meanwhile blame Boris, but just remember he's your hope for the future JR. He's yer man, the only one, not like those other misfits trying for leadership of a now defunct labour party.
Have a great weekend and cheer up, the sun is shinning and all's right with the UK, 14 days and we will have left that rabble they call the European parliament.
You can't be embittered all yer life.........on second thoughts I guess your not going to change now, are you!

If they hadn't known that already they shouldn't be in business.
That's the whole point of leaving.

Blimey, that's a few bob, 313 would've done me for an exit, at the time I bought em.

Just looked back.
I sold some of these last May leaving the 6500, taking a 12% loss and actually made up the loss but got caught again at 249 so it is not as bad as it could be for me.
Glen's getting harder to make money from of late.

Now, what's all this about AHO's business plan, who said he was bereft of ideas.
You see, we're diversifying right under your nose, if this carries on I see a joint venture on the cards.
Drink up, its the weekend, cheers.

50p will get me there......... nearly.
I have some (6500) locked in here @ 302p.
Come to think about it I've quite a few more waiting @ 2.49p.
Third Friday in the month, options expiration today, let's see what next week brings.

There's no denying that CNA is in an upturn, Conn on his way and final results coming up. IMO this has further to go before ex-divi.
Looking for 100+ exit.
Have they further to run......who knows? The only peep's who know are the ones saying after the event.

For my sins, just added a few (10,812) more this morning.
Just saying.

77 million SEK = c£6.25 million.
That would put another 1.4 pence on the SP, taking us to a grand total on today's closing price of about 6.5p. Blimey, happy days, we could all sell up and retire.
The Swedish government would give us that to disappear.

Congratulations to all Oxo, you've got a busy family. :-))

Although TBF he did vote for a reduction last time.
Bank of England interest-rate setter Michael Saunders said on Wednesday he was sticking to his view that borrowing costs should be cut because of weakness in Britain's labour market and its broader economy.

"It probably will be appropriate to maintain an expansionary monetary policy stance and possibly to cut rates further, in order to reduce risks of a sustained undershoot of the 2% inflation target," Saunders said in a speech.

"We left the EU so we could be more democratic yet the EU never blocked us from having a referendum."
Correct Snige but they, (well Spain), sure blocked Catalonia, and how.
What's the difference?

We've given em a proper one already, trouble is they can't take no for an answer.

You see we do everything legit over here, not like those barbarians down by the Med.

We told you.

So far there has been only a trickle of UK jobs being relocated to Europe, despite fears thousands would go. In some services such as foreign exchange, London has actually been increasing its share of the global market.
London has the largest single global cluster of successful fintech companies, with 17 of the top 50 located here.

The GDP figures out this morning could dictate the bottom...... for this month so far at least.

The difference here is, we paid the EU to leave but Scotland wants us to pay them to leave.
That's the Scottish for yer, they didn't get that reputation for nothing. :~)

Well Snige, they (the EU) certainly tried their best to keep us, they have only just realised that we meant it. BTW they didn't let us go, we left them.
On the other hand the Scottish have had their once in a lifetime referendum and sadly we must respect the result.
'Thems' the rules.

As the landlord said, if you love someone enough then you must be prepared to let them go.........
So F*** OFF.
