Socttish Independence a greater threat to Scotland's financial services than Brexit.
Have we done this one? Can't see it anywhere.
Basically, Scots leave the UK and English customers leave the Scottish banks. And in the meantime, Sturgeon is shafting her own economy by threatening another referendum.
Scooter would be worried, if he hadn't already abandoned his homeland and shifted to become an EU worker.Comment

I wonder if Brexit would win again?
Lets see apart from currency being devalued,...some refugees from Calais who are well on their way to a free pensionwhere is the economic Armageddon?
Post brexit (which you may have noticed hasn't happened yet) there a few alternatives.
- The UK will remain poorer than it would have been for quite a while. Eventually the effects of Brexit will disappear in the chaotic noise of the world economy, but perhaps the long term result will be that the UK will be as economically significant to the world economy as Portugal is now.
- Brexit will in some way result in an economic boom and Britain will emerge stronger than ever.
- Same as 1, but it would have been worse if we'd stayed in
- Same as 2, but it would have better if we'd stayed in.
If 2 doesn't happen, then Brexiters will claim that we're in scenario 3.
If 1 doesn't happen, then Bremainers will claim that we're in scenario 4.
Since we don't have a parallel world to see what would have happened, it's all speculation. What we do know is that right now Britain is not as rich as it was, and that this is probably a direct consequence of the referendum result.Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!Comment

It's pretty clear the Nissan letter means the UK will end up half stuck in the EU, which is why Nige is getting all ruffled.
The most likely contents of the Nissan letter:
1) The UK will stay in the Customs Union
2) The car industry will have access to the single market.
3) There will be the free movement of labour.
Australia have already done bunk as they know where it's going.

Brexit means brexit ie leaving the EU. Bremoaners can't process that little nugget so have come up with their own definition of it meaning "rerun the referendum". No wonder they are confused!I get up...Comment
