Reply to: Barclays shifts billions of pounds to Dublin because of Brexit

I don't know what you're talking about, don't you know Sargent Spud is an international business guru? Once he's sorted out the pharma industry, the car industry and the food industry he'll move on to Barclays and the financial sector to explain how all these industries are wrong and they need to listen to him.

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.

And still there are uneducated brexidiots who believe that transfering £166B out of the country does not impact the economy of the UK in any way, because it says in the article not many jobs are at risk

The food trade seems to be getting hit more than the financial area, bacon and booze, two of the Brexiters favourites:

It's a good job you weren't in charge of the Dunkirk evacuation.

The high point of British cowardice

Treasonous lies! Final victory is in sight!

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.

Whaddya know? Maybe Barclays ARE a charity after all? The only other explanation is that you are talking out of your arse again.




The important bit is in bold. These are new jobs.




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

Quoted for posterity.

So that means Brexit is bad for business, thanks Sarg

[shaunbhoy]

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.

few jobs in London are expected to be affected.

The bank's Dublin operation is expected to double in size to 300 people as a result of the business being channelled though the Irish capital

The important bit is in bold. These are new jobs.

Think about it for a moment. You might work it out.

Tax base is moving - asset managers would make 0.5-1% per annum, that billions in tax leaving

[Uncle Albert]

No they wouldn't.

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.

That's the spirit Who needs that capital in our economy? We'd only waste it

[Old Greg]

No they wouldn't.
