Boris Feckin Johnson as Foreign Secretary

I would expect now foreign investors will invest in the UK just for the UK market an go elsewhere for access to the EU.

That's no doubt happening already.
Why would anyone of sound mind invest in the UK now, if their goal is access to the EU market?

The usual high-level intellectual response that you'd get from someone like, say, sasguru.

I gave your statement the respect it deserved

David Davies has no interest in the single market so it will be WTO with a few reduced tariffs.

Sounds like a plan!

Bye bye passporting for UK financial services in the EU and it's now pretty clear we won't be seeing Scotland for dust..

You don't half exaggerate.

Fine English humour from May.

WHS...

According to a poll by Germany's Chambers of Commerce and Industry (DIHK), more than a third of German businesses are planning to reduce investments in Britain and one in four German businesses wants to cut jobs in the UK after Brexit.

And there's plenty more of that out there

Because the pool of knowledge is far better and therefore the returns will be better.

Why are people so transfixed with the 'Single market'? It's bollox, a figment of the imagination. In reality there is no level playing field and the fiddling while Rome burns measures of the EU only pin point that issue.

You're a bona-fide grade-A moron, arent you?
Thus putting the lie to your statement.

Actually no you are full of tulip.

Spain for example has 48% unemployment in the 18 to 25 category so you would think you could open any sweat shop and gave loads of cheap labour.

But actually the Spaniards will tell you to fook off and take your sweat shops with you.

The UK is very attractive because we have good social infrastructure and good education.

You cannot see that because you hate the UK.

Leadsom and Gove will be given some minor roles in tune with their intellectual capacity.

You're right, Gove has been given the boot.

Leadsom is bound to be safe in a cabinet position (as she probably always hoped for when thinking Bozo was a dead cert for next PM when she entered the leadership race) as recognition of her falling on her sword and being the last brexiteer standing.

it has been happening for years, many companies are moving support to Eastern Europe rather than India nowadays, Manufacturing has already gone. Brexit is just likely to accelerate it slightly for us.

Head Office in Ireland or a tax haven. Customer & sales support in Eastern Europe, Manufacturing in the East or Africa and only Service Engineers & Sales teams physically left in the expensive countries.
