    Money makes the world go round, e.g., remember when Spain tried to introduce huge delays between on the Gibraltar border to p1ss the UK off? How long did that last?
    indeed

    This Brexit vote might be the single most foolish, cut off your nose to spite your face decision I have ever seen,
    I'm alright Jack

      Banking? Moving to Dublin

      Lets face it, it’s taxis and takeaway delivery, that’s what we excel at, and that’s only because immigrants do it and they’ll be gone once we regain control of our borders and put the Great back into Britain..

      Just like The Children Of Men. That’s a book BTW, ever read one?
      Wow, you sound like you really hate the UK. I'm guessing you're on the bench, or otherwise feel the country has somehow done you a perceived injustice.

      FYI - Banking*, Financial Services, Service Sector, Oil & Gas, Health, High-tech Manufacturing, Insurance.

      I've seen "Children of The Corn", is that the film of the book? I don't get that much time to read, I'm busy helping turn the wheels of industry (well finance).

      *Not moving to Dublin, can you imagine the size of the crane they'd need to (as you put it) Move "Banking" to "Dublin"?

          Not been benched for years now pal.

          I’m in banking in Dublin, counting the cranes in the IFSC building the buildings to house the Brexodus.

          I don’t hate the uk, just accept it’s dying on its feet and Brexit will most likely deliver the coup de grace. That’s French.

            very good, shrinking though

            Deutsche Bank to move 4000 jobs to the EU

            It is now clear that 10's of thousands of jobs in the City will be moving out.

              Yep cos the last boom in Ireland ended very well didn't it.

              From the 2017 Credit-Suisse yearbook:

              The country is one of the smallest Yearbook markets and, sadly, it became smaller. Too much of the boom was based on real estate, financials and leverage, and Irish stocks were decimated after 2006. Many of the larger Irish corporations moved to a
              London listing. After a burgeoning deficit, austerity measures were introduced, which lasted until 2014.

                so let me understand this. The EU made a new law last year that required every airport to up their security staffing significantly , none of the Airports did so and the EU failed to act and it went live with many people waiting hours to get through security missing flights?

                Good job they aren't in charge of a whelk stall then.
                Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

                    There was a time when Greece imprisoned someone with in UK passport so the UK sent 6 warships to the Greek coast to let them know how the treat UK citizens.

                    Sadly the UK does not have 6 warships anymore. Just Admiral Bob, his rubber dingy and a rusty knife.
                    We still have Seaman Stains.

                      No that can't be true, because if the EU had made a law on it, then the UK are forced to accept that law and increase the numbers of staff, but the UK have reduced the numbers of staff, so either another Leave lie has been exposed (again) or it's not an EU law, but something that a few countries did because they have sovereignty over their laws (i.e. Another Leave lie)

                      Which is it?
                      …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore
