Quite Right the brexit press are in uproar that the UK are going to lose their prestigious EU Medicine and Banking agencies.

Well done David Davis for refusing to meekly accept this ridiculous self punishment.

If we don't stand up to this type of thing the next thing we know Brussels will be banning our so called 'democratic' MEP's from the European Parliament after brexit as well.

What is amusing is the way the tabloids are billing it as the EU 'punishing' the U.K. by moving the agencies out of the UK.

WTF?!

It is not a 'punishment'. We are leaving the EU. Why would the EU keep an agency of theirs in the non-member state?

And there are quite a lot of these. It's going to be expensive to replace the functionality...

"Haven't we already had a thread about this? Why would EU agencies stay in the UK post Brexit?

And why would banking jobs dealing with European transactions stay in the UK either? Isn't Lloyds the latest to say that they are having to set up a new office in the EU due to passporting rights?

No, sorry, you're right. I fucked up everyone, I admit it. Lloyds is moving those banking jobs to that well known EU country, Afghanistan!

Lloyds of London is opening a small hub, in probably Berlin, in order to facilitate EU transactions.

Their main centre of operations will continue to be in London.

Lloyds of London is insurance, I was talking about Lloyds Banking Group, but both are moving jobs out of the UK to Germany as a direct result of a hard Brexit.

Well as you and I don't know, my assumption will be; a lot less than there would have been without Brexit.

But I imagine you will have a different take on that. So let's just wait and see the facts rather than making pointless comments just to try and support ones own bias...

I think the OP was more referring to the 'outrage' of the tabloid media trying to paint the the EU is 'punishing' the EU by moving these agencies out. Talk about spin!

And how about a thread about facts that jobs are moving out of the UK as a direct result of the government pursuing a hard brexit?

I think the key word there is "despite" a hard Brexit. I don't think that we have seen a single article about even one job being created in the UK "because" of a hard Brexit.

You miss the point. It is. It whether he or I read the Sun and the likes (I think this case was The Express). But more the fact that there are millions of people who do read it. This is how the media manipulate things. If you had any doubt that the lies told by the leave campaign had any effect this is an example of

It.

Express Headline

'Brexit fight begins as Government declares major EU agencies ‘will REMAIN in Britain’

First paragraph

'TWO MAJOR European banking and medical agencies, based in London, could stay in Britain post-Brexit, the Government has stated.'

and

'David Davis, the Brexit Secretary, said the fate of the agencies is still up for negotiation despite claims by the EU that they will run a competition to relocate them.'

So, to clarify,

UK government: "Leave means leave."

EU agencies: "Okay we're leaving."

UK government: "We don't accept that leave means leave."

The likes of Davis and Johnson are making us look like children who don't understand the consequences of our actions. Pretty worrying.
