    I mean. it's simply pathetic how every industry and sector in the UK, except Dyson and 'Spoonies, can get it so wrong. They're all just not trying hard enough!

    Anyone heard of a single sector, not an individual company like 'Spoonies with a vested interest, but a whole sector, that has said anything positive about the impact of brexit on their sector? Even the mighty fishing industry, which brexit is supposed to help, doesn't seem to like what brexit will deliver
    Coincidentally, I've received the WetherspoonNews through the mailbox today, delivered with all the other junk mail. A 46-page magazine of which around half of it is page after page of Brexit.

    Between 150 and 200 jobs will be created in Dublin as a result of the move which the bank said would be a combination of new jobs and those moving from the UK.
    Some banking news outlet:

    Kevin Wall, the CEO of Barclays’ Irish unit has told members of the U.K. Treasury Select Committee that these new roles are going to be over and above the 150 current U.K. jobs, which are likely to shift to Dublin, post Brexit.

    I've thought about it. Barclays are NOT in fact a charity. You really ARE as stupid as your comments suggest.

    Barclays are not a charity and won't carry on employing people in jobs that no longer exist.
    few jobs in London are expected to be affected.

    Well, as those jobs are only being created in Ireland to cope with the extra work that has been shifted to Ireland from the UK, it's fairly safe to assume that a similar number of people were doing that work here. Barclays are not a charity and won't carry on employing people in jobs that no longer exist.
