I thought the issue was the US making noises about having less involvement with NATO, and Europe having to fend for itself. Just posturing at this stage I am sure, but Trump does like to ramp up a debate!

Sir, you are most welcome to post about any company announcing or executing a Brexit-caused UK expansion.

In fact, for every company that announces that because of Brexit it's increasing its UK operation, I will donate £1 to Save the Children, up to an initial limit of £100.

How about despite Brexit?

Considering that we were actually told what was likely to happen, from the economic point of view, in the short term, and still voted to leave, all this ranting, mutual schadenfreude and general wank is pretty daft.

Considering how to get the best post-Brexit would be far more productive.

Doesn't count, as it's Brexit and its splendours that we're discussing.

Cool. You can start with Google, Facebook and Snap (the owners of Snapchat) then.

These companies have actually physically moved HQ's to the UK, unlike all your companies, who are only threatening to leave the UK, cos Bexit innit.

Can you name any companies who have actually carried out their attention seeking Pro EU spitting of the dummy yet? Are they not leaving things a bit late? Idea


Has Google, Facebook, or Snap admitted that they made such move because of Brexit? No? Next, please.
Also: not sure about Snap, but while Google and Facebook have UK locations, they are registered in Ireland.

Finally, recently I posted about 4 companies (Barclays, Barden, Steris, and Chubb). 3 of them are already moving at least partially out of UK, and Barden just announced it will join them, all citing Brexit as the reason. It's not just talk. Paperwork is being filed with regulators, offices are being leased, money is being transferred. It is happening now.

Stay tuned, more will come.

We cannot negotiate (seek terms of surrender) until we leave next March.

Again.. I say it is not the leaving that worries me its the tons/tonnes of Pony being laid by many shouty folk who DO NOT KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN.
They can only spout what they, think, feel, or more likely want to happen.

Indecision is the worst thing for any economy.

Who would be happy if the Dr. said you may have C, you may not, It may be curable or again it may not.
How would you make plans?

I agree that indecision is the worst thing. Trouble is, nobody even knows if TM's grand plan will survive the week, let alone the foreseeable future... Indecision therefore is all we can offer. Not good.

We've been negotiating for quite a while already. We have, apparently, reached some sort of milestone in the form of an "interim agreement", which contains non-binding indications of a future trading arrangement.

Your point about "many shouty folk who DO NOT KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN" is well made.

All sorts of pundits are spouting about it right now. Gina Miller, for instance, says that: "Labour's six tests will be met by this". Faiza Shaheen says: "this agreement demonstrates how little power we have when negotiating with the EU".

Other people (lots of them) say other things (and lots of them, too).

None of them however know what's in the text!

That makes no sense Confused If companies are still investing in the UK (which there have been loads), it shows they don't see Brexit as a big deal.

And if they decide to move out, they can also do it for a variety of reasons. That's why in a Brexit-related thread I'm considering the ones that explicitly move because of Brexit. Simples.

Chubb...

That's a $60 billion company going bye, bye. Clapping


There is somewhere on the interweb a list of 50 big companies that lately decided to move out of the UK because of the Brexit dividents.

Columbia Threadneedle switched £6.2 billion worth of assets from UK domiciled funds to Luxembourg domiciled funds
https://www.ftadviser.com/investments/2018/05/09/columbia-threadneedle-moves-uk-funds-over-brexit-fears/

Liberty Specialty Markets is redomiciling its insurance company from the UK to Luxembourg

Admiral Group is planning to move some of its UK business from Admiral Insurance Company Limited to an entity in Spain, Admiral Europe Compañía de Seguros, S.A, that was set on 20 December 2017. 9/50 https://admiralgroup.co.uk/our-business/corporate-governance/european-business-transfer-2018

A ferry company has brought in 2 new ships, including the "Brexit Buster" ship Celine (600 truck capacity, world's largest short sea roll-on roll-off ferry). Idea is to bypass the UK and send freight directly from Ireland to Belgium and Spain.

SwissQuote cancelled its expansion plans in London after Brexit, and instead bought a bank in Luxembourg

STM Life moving part of its business from Gibraltar to Malta to guard against the effects of Brexit.

etc...etc...Despite the UK still in the EU.

Considering the EU ref. is based on fraud and from economic point of view Leave campaign said everything will be great, German car manufacturers will let UK to have the cake and eat it, it will be the easiest deal ever, obviosly you must start owning this bulshit.

Short term? You mean 50 years? Pretty sure literally no-one voted to be poorer for the next 50 years and to lose £400bln until 2030. In the best case scenario.

I agree that how to deal with Brexit is much more productive - means there is no better deal for the UK then stopping Brexit.

Uncertainty is the smallest UK problem here. UK has lost £40bln in the last 2 years. Say it will lose £60bln more in the next 3 years because of Brexit uncertainty.

The long term lost of trust in EU and in the world is much worst.

Don't get me started if the hard left swivel-eyed loonies get in power.

Have you ever been in Greece? Shocked

Brexit Deal - if you think you need to read all 400 pages deal to know it's much worst then our current EU membership you need help.

- Cabinet backs deal
- Parliament rejects deal
- Lab calls vote of no conf., loses
- Markets tank
- Theresa "the broken promise" offers Peoples Vote
- UK retracts A50 stays in EU and recovers the £60 billions Brexit losses until 2022.
- Justine Greening wins the next GE against Corbyn on pro-business pro-EU platform.
- 2021 EU budget UK loses its rebate.
- 2025 UK's GDP and all else is as it was 2015.
- UK finally recovers EU/world trust/influence 2050 and is great again, part of even greater EU federation.

That is all folks Laughing

In the best case scenario. In the worst case UK becomes a realy large Greece...

Oh, no, they've got it wrong. That sounds better. It will take longer for them to talk about it. Nothing more but wibble 'till mañana.
