The whole thing is a disaster in the making, and ironically, the very section of the public who voted the Uk out, thiese are the people who will most loose out, they just don't know it, yet.
There you have it, a catastrophy in the making.
However, on the other hand, immigration will be better able to be controlled, there will be less free loaders on our welfare systems, our finances will be entirely in our control, we will only have to support our country financially, rather than the soon to be - half the western world. We will also have full control of our own armed forces. We will have our valuable fishing grounds back and we will not be paying to have an ill thought out green energy policy. The UK's transport industry will no longer have to complete on an unlevel playing field. There will be many more of the lower paid jobs available for the youngsters.

Think positive

Morgan Stanley moving 2000 jobs out of London abroad already.

Everything that 'Project Fear' predicted would happen is happening, and there are people who voted Out calling in to radio phones ins saying 'oh, I never realised that would happen'.

I think the sabre rattling (or throwing toys from the pram) will soon abate.
Quite right, the threats were just intended to frighten us to vote stay...

Far better now to be out of it instead of being one of the last hangers-on of a failed system

Which was one of the reasons I voted OUT. It was fine originally with the select few in the CM, they just got too big for their boots and now comes the fall - hopefully without us being a part of their disaster.

Interesting isn't it?

Remainers (Scotland included) said stay with those you export most to, is that why Nicola Sturgeon wants to leave the group that takes 90% of Scotland's exports, ENGLAND?

Thank you for finishing the remaining Royal Navy ships, don't expect any more orders.

I was more than happy to have helped in a small way to set things straight again

Gawd, there’s some Jeremiahs about. What mean spirited, miserable, glass-half-empty moaners there are! Some of them would find rust in a rainbow! If you can’t get invited to a party just be sick on the carpet.

Close the thread? Definitely not! Just look at the number of posts and work out the popularity. Or get a sheriff’s badge and earn the right! It’s fair to say the interest produced by this thread has resulted in some long term members posting for the first time in years! It’s done more good for dormant members than a dose of syrup of figs! Or is that too 1950’s?

Carnival Cruises (Cunard - P&O) are moving their headquarters to Hamburg, Germany as of September 2016, nothing about changing home port as yet, just office jobs to be exported to EU, how many others already have similar as yet unannounced plans.

Is that a consequence of the 'out vote' doubtful and whether or not it's related, the potential job losses will be many times less than when Ford exported the Transit van production line, with cash provided by the EU.

I suspect that a few of the oldies who voted out will be dead by the time the long term benefits are realised.
