These morons gurned all the way to the ballot box and voted without having a fooking clue about anything.

Terrible, it should be made illegal.

[DaveB]

nope that's lumpy as well.

So is Portugal. The northern half of the country is predominantly mountains.

FTFY - you don't want an employee. Nasty, dirty things that want holidays and benefits. Yuck.

Quite right. Thanks for correcting me.

No he's not, he really is as thick as mince.

Not really I do seem to have the ability not to resort to being a keyboard warrior though.

So I got that going for me, which is nice.

You're probably kidding ...

I am hoping that the GBP/USD rate stays low, I don't want it to plunge but it's really helping my business. Fingers crossed I'll be able to create my first full-time UK job take on my first contractor this year.

Still when we finally trigger article 50 at least none of the taxes from anywhere in the Uk will be going to prop up the EU - so we got that going for us which is nice.

You're probably kidding and I just didn't get that.

When we trigger Art 50:

• nothing happens for 2+ years until Britain actually leaves
• Britain will continue to pay into the EU pot as usual until then
• Single Market access requires to pay into the EU's pot (and a number of other obligations which Brexit assumed to be able to circumvent somehow). Ask the Norwegians or the Swiss.
• EU subsidies are not part of the Single Market deal. So your taxes will have to go to all those areas which benefited most from EU support: Wales, Cornwall, The North; Research; etc

Bottom line: We pay a little less into the EU, but more into currently subsidised areas.

So that means 4 pounds out of every 5 are not earned in the capital.

No it doesn't. For your homework try to figure out where you've gone wrong.

[original PM]

I said it should be compared with other areas to make any conclusions. I was just correcting facts

oh that's ok then cleared it all up.

I make my living selling a software product that I wrote.

As a matter of interest I checked my sales for last year and I sold to 47 different countries. 70% of whom are not in the EU.

I have always priced my software in dollars. So right now, I'm having the best sales month in pure GBP terms.

I am hoping that the GBP/USD rate stays low, I don't want it to plunge but it's really helping my business. Fingers crossed I'll be able to create my first full-time UK job this year.

is it anything to do with Tom Tom GPS ?

So 80% stays in London.

I am really not sure of the point you are trying to make?

Are you trying to say that all the tax generated in London should stay in London?

Or that more should come out of London?

Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

Sorry I am obviously to stupid to understand so would appreciate it if you could maybe clarify?

[original PM]

Don't mix the facts, 1 pound out of 5 funds the rest of the country. So 20% of tax revenue leaves london.
that should be compared with other areas though
