I'd prefer the Basque region myself but I do fancy visiting Cadiz, I have to say.

I found the Basque region a bit meh - a bit like Wales where the locals appear to be very insular & resent foreigners
Cadiz was the one place where a photo of the stricken HMS Sheffield was predominately displayed in a locals window & all I could do to stop myself kicking in the front door
Twats!

They'll probably end up with "the rock" anyway after the negotiation. Why not extend it a bit and make it a business friendly place to lure UK business in. English speaking, same law principles, just a different location.
Wouldn't be too bad.

Let's play a "fun" game.

In addition to all the IT jobs, what other jobs can Indian immigrants take away from the brits? I say pretty much all the jobs that don't pay minimum wage; for the minimum wage ones, employers will still prefer a brit over an Indian.

xenophobic brexiters thickos didn't see this coming.

All along the Indians were quite open and saying "While you are in the EU we have to accept whatever we can but the moment you're out you're going to have to grovel for a trade deal!" The brexiteers had full access to that information but couldn't see it. That was mainly because they had their heads buried in the sand. And still have.

But not for much longer

the quality of indian takeaways will improve a lot.

80% of Indian restaurants are Bangladeshi, I believe.

[PCTNN]

Nice one! Those xenophobic brexiters thickos didn't see this coming.

uk is basically exchanging 1 european for 10 indians.

Not only that, but the new immigrant population will just do the same jobs as the brits but for half the money. And I'm not just talking about IT jobs....all of the jobs.

On a positive note, the quality of indian takeaways will improve a lot. Yum!

Brexit - the Referendum that keeps on Giving

Welcome to Bangalore-on-Thames

What if EU decides to retaliate and give companies that wish to manufacture and trade in the EU a regulation friendly zone somewhere on the continent? Maybe somewhere sunny as south of Spain? And we all get a lifestyle upgrade and get to enjoy the same prospects and liberties as here?
Would it be too much to consider?

Let's hope those who voted for it reap the benefits

If it only affected them then it would be fine, just like Brexit, unfortunately it would hit innocent people and those who voted for Brexit are too bund and dishonest to admit it was moronic idea.

“The £30,000 minimum salary threshold for tier 2 visas was unnecessarily and arbitrarily high. It would have strangled the pipeline of talented younger people at the start of their careers, especially in key economic sectors such as the NHS and the creative industries. And family visas only require a minimum salary threshold of £18,600 to be able to bring some family members to the UK,” he said.

Cue a 'trade deal' with India which allows 'It Graduates' to come to the UK on the new 'Boris 2' visa, with no minimum salary requirements to work for 'Consultancies' who have major shareholders who are cabinet ministers and Tory donors. That'll take up the slack in the private sector post April. The Torys will have solved a perceived skill shortage and the Uk economy will go from strength to strength (if you happen to be a shareholder in these 'consultancies or buy repossessed houses). Boris will save the day again ! Hooorah !!

Only a problem if you don't own the platform.

Should just change it so that certain professions are exempt. IT not being one of them - for that it should be raised to £250K. (Vote NAT)
