There's plenty of people in Greece regret staying in the EU, I suggest there will be plenty here who will regret not leaving on a"hard" Brexit if the opportunity is there.

To quote Thomas Paine: ‘If there must be trouble, let it be in my day, that my child may have peace.’
Remainers should heed those words if we end up half way there, your kids will still be dancing to Europe's tune long after all us are gone if it lasts that long.
And when it does go to the wall we will have to help with the clear up.

Who's JOM?

If that's right mb it just goes to show how protectionist the EU really is.
How come FIFA the international governing body of football makes special rules for just the EU?
Headquarters in Switzerland may have something to do with it, wonder if Blatter had a hand in it, he likes backhanders.

"posters allegedly over here are probably propping up the bar counters at their local boozer"
Hey Oxo there's plenty here in Witherspoon's at Gatwick, and they're all leaving.

Not much sign of banks confidence here.

Equity funds investing in Europe are abandoning the region’s banks with increasing conviction in favor of sectors like technology, which promise higher growth potential.
That’s according to a study by Goldman Sachs Group Inc. which showed that funds have reduced their exposure to Europe’s banks over the past 12 months, and even more so since the start of this year. The banking sector is also the one with the largest short consensus, according to the report, based on the exposure in May of 440 mutual funds with $231 billion in assets under management.

We now know where your loyalties lie Borninusa123456 and it ain't the UK, so you are only speaking as an outsider, no real relevance to what you post is there.
ps, you might want to use a spell checker before you hit that post button, just saying.

Maybe they're seeing sense.
Chinese and U.S. officials have raised the prospect of resuming talks over trade between the two nations after President Donald Trump ratcheted up the pressure by announcing a huge new round of potential tariffs.

Just talking about Corp tax jayfax and the ability of sovereign States to set their own level.
Unlike the EU wanting more control. It's called federalism and I don't want any part of it.

I believe there's moves coming by the EU to equalise Corp tax throughout.
They didn't like Ireland's low rate (unfair). With the deal that's being proposed the UK will probably be included, a bit more protectionism.

More flack for the 'big four' let's face it they've made some boo boos of late, its a cartel they've got it sewn up between em.

The Bank of England said on Wednesday there is too little choice of auditor for big banks who must switch book-keepers under European Union rules.
Listed firms are required to "rotate" auditors at least every two decades to ensure there is a fresh and sceptical pair of eyes examining their books and challenging management.

The audit sector is dominated by the Big Four: PwC, KPMG, EY and Deloitte. Their nearest rivals, such as Grant Thornton and BDO, are much smaller, meaning that auditing a large bankwith many subsidiaries across the global is more of a challenge.

BoE Deputy Governor Sam Woods said he has "an issue with the ever more concentrated pool of large auditors" able to audit large firms that must meet the rotation requirements in Britain.

We're sinking fast, 61p here we come.

jayfax your understanding and the way you think is a complete mystery. "They were on the controversial or sticky wicket .....but of themselves not huge loss," that's alright then.
It's not about who/what they are or what job they do and if they are a loss (nobody's indispensable). Do you not understand they've resigned because they don't like the so called Chequers agreement. They represent their constituents who also don't like it. It's almost as if you are trying to make excuses.
They are making a statement and there's probably plenty more to come, especially after the white paper is published and the EU pull it apart during negotiations, be patient and just wait.
If you believe May's version of Brexit is it, then carry on.

"ZEW Economic Sentiment continues to collapse - a trend is being set."
Yeah I saw that Wids it's gone from +30 last February (that's when all the remainers were talking down the UK and saying how well Europe were doing) its now - that's minus 19.
Are all these experts wrong?

This source is even lower.
The ZEW Indicator of Economic Sentiment for Germany dropped by 8.6 points from the previous month to -24.7 in July 2018, below market expectations of -18.0. This is the lowest reading since August 2012.

For info...... all time high of 89.60 in January of 2000 and a record low of -63.90 in July of 2008

Increase of 15% would vote to leave since the referendum a major survey said.
Doesn't look good for the last grasp remainers hopes for another referendum.
Either the old gits are hanging on or the youth of today have got more sense.

Why repeat yourself we saw it the first time you posted it?
BTW some are now for Brexit, they've seen the light.

May just reminded Corbyn he's had 103 resignations since he became leader.

Andyagogo these sort of resignations are not unprecedented it's part and parcel of politics and not confined to the UK.

You know what's quite funny in all this, the remoaners are cheering every announcement and they actually believe that we will remain in the EU.

Well he had to, and so it all unwinds, the next step to Brexit.

.

So far we've got a list of bullet points, wait for the white paper and all will be revealed.
It's been stated 'this is it' no consessions from here on in.
Wait for the EU to unpick it, we ain't seen nothing yet.
