"Another interesting article is from Civitas on the BBC website which says that the benefits of the single market are 'largely imaginary'. Then there are the words coming from Michel Barnier, EU negotiator, yesterday, who said he is determined to seal a 'unique' trade deal with an independant UK as soon as possible to benefit both sides" The EU have already said there's gona be nothing unique about the trade deal for the UK it will be treated like any other outside country | |||

No, no, no!! You're not uunderstanding what's being said about the EU's standpoint, which is that what they said in the immediate aftermath of the referendum is cast in stone...is not posturing, is not the opening salvo in any negotiations. .... And if they say anything different now, well its all fake news and alternative facts....as well as a load of old bollocks. Now consider yourself told and hang your head in shame.  | |||

"To quote Michael Gove - everybody's sick of expert's guessing at what's going to happen. Time will tell so let's wait and see what happened. Then, and only then will we know who was RIGHT OR WRONG. At that point the finger pointing can start. But I bet whoever was wrong will not own up to it!!!!"  | |||

"It can't be a bespoke deal if we get no deal agreed. We could get a bespoke deal that is very attractive for the EU 27, but for us less so, since the people we have in charge of Brexit are clueless fuckwits. Whatever the deal, if we get one, it isn't going to be better than the terms we have now." How do you know? | |||

"So today then, when the Dutch MP's who make up the influential Advisory Council of International Affairs, said that only an ambitious and bespoke pact with the UK would suffice and in particular wants to see a wide ranging agreement covering the services sector, that was fake news/bollocks?" Yes, totally! | |||

"It's seems you leavers just don't get it ...it wouldn't be the eu putting on tariffs it would be the UK....the EU already have tariffs to protect its market from the outside world what you leavers don't get is if the UK go on free trade deals all over the world ..farming fishing manufacturering industrit's will all be destroyed...due others countries being able to supply the goods for a fraction of the cost..countries where minimum wage and high production costs does not apply ..."

"Why have Chinese car maker Geely just invested £325 million in Coventry anyone? Why not just make the cabs in China?" Possibly because 85% of the production at LTC is sold in the U.K., that and the fact that London is committed to all electric cabs by 2028 and that's where they are being made.... | |||

Are you saying that we already buy as much of their stuff as we can, and dropping import duties would have no effect on that level? -Matt Pretty much but it would allow us to sell more if it was reciprocated. Do you know what the average tarrif is on goods into the UK? OK, so if we are already buying all we want form China and you believe dropping the tarriffs would have little effect on that, why would China want to have a trade deal with us? What would be in it for them, if you don't believe it would increase their sale of good to us significantly? -Matt Whats in it for them? Er cheaper UK goods and easier trade perhaps? They are already our 6th biggest export market and we can improve on that it seems you just don't get it ..what would happen to British Beef when it's far cheaper from south America Scotland's fish when it's cheaper and more abundant in tropical waters British steel ..well China already killed that and all the UK suppliers who make parts for the car industry ...alost all of those parts will come from China...cheaper for the consumer but alot of people will be put out of work .. No they won't. That's simplistic nonsense So why is Trump so against trade deals with developing economies and talking about putting American jobs first? You tell me? You're obviously the Trump fan Hardly, but I do think he has a point about trade between advanced economies and developing economies, cheap goods flow in one direction and jobs flow in the other.
Its a wonder half the world don't still live in caves then eh

Yes, in the same way that giving someone your job enriches them, and leaves you unemployed.

In my world if you pay for something it isn't free. Obviously not. "The payments we make are contributions toward running the EU, which encompasses many things.

"Not quite. It's more like once you've paid your fee for the facilities of the club you are entitled to use the facilities of the club. You are also entitled to use, free of charge, the facilities of the sister-club that is part of the same chain due to them realising that it is in the benefit to the members of both clubs to be able to use each other's without restriction or hindrance because they are likely to have more potential sales of drinks and food at the clubhouse. -Matt | |||

"It can't be a bespoke deal if we get no deal agreed. We could get a bespoke deal that is very attractive for the EU 27, but for us less so, since the people we have in charge of Brexit are clueless fuckwits. Whatever the deal, if we get one, it isn't going to be better than the terms we have now.How do you know?" The terms we have now, as part of the EU customs union...include huge numbers of tariffs with other (non-EU countries) which suit the Germans et al. Once out we can negotiate our own terms/tartifs/free trade or whatever. Currently the EU are "rowing back" massively in now talking openly about free trade in many areas... But as others have said..... nothing is certain until its done...so let's stop guessing and wait and see. | |||

Of course cash crops are vital for developing nations, but cash crops are pushing much needed crop production for domestic consumption and that of their African neighbours into the shade. It's a balance that needs to be addressed, ideally by the UN and the World Bank. | |||

Yes your absolutely right.... All those skilled bankers and their families to move, thousands of houses required, IT systems and infrastructure to install, buildings and offices to find, refurb and possibly build, in the existing financial districts elsewhere, ....
Yep, thinking about it, absolute piece of piss and cheap as chips. Fuck all anywhere near as complex or costly as building a factory. Are they moving these banks to the middle of a desert or in cities in Europe? I would of thought that infrastructure and most basic needs for a company would exist in any major city in Europe
IT infrastructure doesn't . housing fir the extra thousands maybe even tens if thousands if skilled banking workers.... Factory workers tend not to be skilled, factories tend to be greater automated, and therefore potential factory workers are easier to get from an existing labor pool that already live in an area.
Plus, the international language of banking is English.

The UK is not the only English speaking country in the world ..and even so if you were to be right for the right salary people will up and move we are talking about multi national cooperations here not some small business....if you're thinking companies who pay millions in bonuses can't change counties pretty easily then I'm not the naive one
Or that high-end office space in the financial district of a major European city doesn't have IT infrastructure
Are financial districts of major European cities full of empty office space?
Any city would be foolish to be at 100% capacity for office space as that would stiffle growth.
I don't know what stiffle means but where does office space come from?
Office space grows on trees
In your world obviously if you think that 'cities' build it
Yeah they do. Cities made up of the local authority (planning permission), developers (funding it), professional services (architectural, legal etc.), builders (building it) and businesses renting it.
Why, where do you think office space comes from?
Demand
So if we go back to what we were actually talking about then, financial institutions moving to other cities, then they will have a need for office space, therefore creating a demand, and as you believe demand creates office space, then they'll be fine, right?

Yes your absolutely right.... All those skilled bankers and their families to move, thousands of houses required, IT systems and infrastructure to install, buildings and offices to find, refurb and possibly build, in the existing financial districts elsewhere, ....
Yep, thinking about it, absolute piece of piss and cheap as chips. Fuck all anywhere near as complex or costly as building a factory. Are they moving these banks to the middle of a desert or in cities in Europe? I would of thought that infrastructure and most basic needs for a company would exist in any major city in Europe
IT infrastructure doesn't . housing fir the extra thousands maybe even tens if thousands if skilled banking workers.... Factory workers tend not to be skilled, factories tend to be greater automated, and therefore potential factory workers are easier to get from an existing labor pool that already live in an area.

Are financial districts of major European cities full of empty office space? this is a stupid question the clue is in the name multi national...which multi national bank in the world do you know that doesn't have a branch in most or all of the major financial financial districts in the world ? .....if they only had offices and infrastructure in london would they be called kmultinationals?"Yep, you're absolutely right...silly me. All of those multinationals have had offices in every major financial district in the world. And they all had the foresight when they got them years ago to have them built so big that they have literally thousands of empty desk spaces in them. And all those desks that they installed years ago were built to today's H&S standards. And the wiring all those years ago was all installed in High speed fiber optic and Cat 6 standards, that no-one had known about then apart from those bankers. And all the monitors they had installed all those years ago, sat idle just for this very occurrence, well they were monitors that were up to today's standards, even though they hadn't been invented then. Btw. ..... How many office spaces have you relocated people to recently? Just a case of people getting up from their original desk and moving to a new one? I'm just doing one at the moment for 25 people. Nothing luxury or high end about it at all. All open plan with two small meeting rooms. No welfare facilities as they'll use existing. Basic small desks and chairs. How much would you say it's costing to do? Say, as an average per person? | |||
