    Much of the "cheap labour" that was here came from the poorer parts of the EU.

    Guess who they will be employing if they move elsewhere? The same "cheap labour" that has left here to return home, and who are not going to accept any real drop in wages.
    Factor in all the costs of moving and it makes no sense.

    Elementary.

    FFS you hit all the branches of the stupid tree when you fell out of it didn't you?

    When all the factors are weighed up post Brexit (high costs here, high taxes, access to markets) it will be a no-brainer to move.
    And as those of us in the know try to get into your thick noggins on the other thread, it's already begining to happen.
    Call it Remainers Revenge
    Yep no one offshored to India, Malaysia, Mexico, Thailand etc. 20 years ago.

    No one moved to Eastern Europe & Africa 10 years ago.

    Watch out for the stupid trunk AssSnob

    Exactly. Now best to quit while you are ahead. Don't go making yourself look foolish again.

    Following which companies think fook this and move abroad to cheaper locations - especially after Brexit when Britain is a small tuliphole of a market.
    Which reverses the situation, there is now more labour than jobs, wages fall and remain low.

    Elementary.

    Its simple all she needs to do is to state she will guarantee the status of the EU citizens of each country that reciprocates. So if Poland says any Brits in Poland will be treated as before then the Polish can stay here under similar rules.

    Ignore the EU completely. Screw em!

    May has promised to build on EU protections for working people, which include paid holidays, health and safety at work and maternity leave. “Let me be absolutely clear: existing workers’ legal rights will continue to be guaranteed in law -- and they will be guaranteed as long as I am prime minister,” May said in October. Her phrasing was seen as significant, as it wouldn’t bind her successor to follow her pledge.
    I guess another benefit. More control over laws

    End to Freedom of Movement.

    End to subsidising the rejuvenation of Eastern Europe.

    Autonomy over our fishing grounds.
    Free trade cuts both ways, tariffs are used to protect local manufacturing. GL kickstarting UK manufacturing after signing free trade with India/China and getting flooded with products at rpcies the local Manufacturing can't compete with. Not to mention free GMO foods from the US YAY!

    I guess a lot of state aid will be needed to subsidize the manufacturing "boom" after free trade with Asia is signed, so this makes sense. Just remember who is paying for it...

    HoL is unelected, it's only fair for it to be the highest parliament. I'm sure they have the wellbeing of the average Brit in their mind.

    No freedom of movement is a good thing and a protection against the inevitable Exodus from the UK. Freedom is dirty word anyway.

    The rejuvenation of Eastern Europe is a major factor reducing migration from EE and only fair, after throwing them to the wolves at the end of WWII

    I'm sure that the extra 10'000 fishermen will more than compensate the loss of 10'000 suits from the City/Canary Wharf in terms of GDP and tax.

    And the most talented person I've ever seen left shool at 16.

    Basically the way to check if you're talented is, are you on the big bucks?:
    No that's to check whether you are lucky. A point you have made about sending your offspring to private school to get contacts.

    I have met some incredible talents who are not on big bucks. You will find many teaching.
