    Back to your public sector non-job. It's paid from my taxes you know. There is no magic money tree.

    You're the pole choking expert by your own admission. Is that how you started your pole choking career?
    Thanks for playing though.

    I think it's because deep down you realise you're not really in my league, at the age I was wrestling with Shannon's seminal paper, you were reading the Beano.

    You are a "guest worker". It will take your family at least a generation to get back to the social status you have left behind in the UK. Only someone who was struggling would do that to his kids.

    From that I conclude you were a loser in the UK. Therefore, your opinion is not relevant.

    yes, agreed, and if it was a 1st world country we wouldn't have been attracted abroad by opportunities

    Regarding,

    "It will take your family at least a generation to get back to the social status you have left behind in the UK",

    well that one never crossed my mind, and not sure what to say to it - does not compute.

    Milan.

    And you "unretired" to so something dull like code maintenance? Really? Why?
    You come across as not very bright to be honest. Your "solution" to post-Brexit is to do roughly the same as what we were doing pre-Brexit?
    TBH, the stench of loser that emanates from you is overwhelming. You're one of these support staff you're talking about, are you not?

    Ah, someone who can argue logically. This ain't sassy, my apologies.

    Roughly it's a pyramid. The few at the top make the most money. Those on the level below contributed to that work but get paid a bit less. However, their contribution is more fungeable. Keep going down the pyramid until you find sassy selling cakes to interns. Everybody makes money inversely in proportion to his fungeability. As more money comes in, people decrease their capacity.

    And sometimes traders rely on the team around them. The hedge fund I worked at got a trader from GS. £800m profit in previous year. Sacked after 11 months....

    If conflicts of interest had been properly disclosed "too much borrowing" would never have taken place.
