Something on your mind Clampy ..........................
No point in responding to the comments above from pastafarian - for obvious reasons!
However, I spot more evidence of "Project Fear" - yet another financial institution moving part of its operations to mainland Europe. This time, the largest Japanese bank, MUFG - going to Amsterdam. This follows Standard Chartered, Citigroup & Morgan Stanley going to Frankfurt, HSBC to Paris, and Barclays & Bank of America going to Dublin.
By the way, Brexiteers - this is real.

Another 1000 jobs going plus the 40,000 hotel stays a year lost. Direct result of Brexit.

Im very sure you don’t want to respond……for obvious reasons
Was it because you squirm inside when you realised you inadvertently supported drowning immigrants? Maybe its because you realise you are a bit of a bigot believing as you do that generations of born here British are just foreigners in your book..
Or perhaps maybe its simply because you admitted that pretty much every statement from The remain campaign was a lie or partial truth.

They're not too keen on Brexit in The Falklands either.

Can't call this Project Fear - It's from The Daily Mail website so it's Project Fact.

Absolutely gutting. This is tax revenue down the drain.

On the plus side, according to the article.
The only realistic outcome for the sustainability of the Falkland Islands economy is a free trade agreement,’ the written submission states.
Just as well then Michel Barnier has promised to negotiate a free trade agreement

When's that all happening?
I don't like speaking for others but maybe the reason he didn't want to reply is because your immigration argument is, and this is me being polite, utterly childish? Maybe it will help your tedious and small mind understand if I ask if you "inadvertently support" the death of Jo Cox?

Ask Mr Barnier, its his promise and he is chief negotiator.......i dont know what timescale he has rattling around in his head
I expect someone to say "this shows that you can trade with people on the other side of the world so this PROVES Brexit will succeed"

It comes after agreeing citizens rights, obligations and liabilities and the Irish border. No problems there then, it's easy - I'm surprised all that hasn't been agreed already.

I'm not sure if you are being serious or ironic, the A8 issue was a deliberate policy by Blair and his political allies, who in all likelihood knew more than 13k would arrive and then f*ck over the British working class. They are the victims of he policy, and had no influence on it........plus ca change.

He's been very clear about timescales.

You really want to stoop to that level by bringing in the death of Jo Cox and equating it to the immigration policy of Merkel that led to thousands of drownings........get a grip.
Are you seriously trying to absolve Merkel by bringing Jo Cox into the equation..........that is low by anyone's standards.

Ha, this story is the re-writing of history. Brown sent a delegation Balls (when he was just an adviser) to Brussels to work out the process of joining, the 5 tests came later. The 5 tests policy was probably his best political decision as it was diametrically opposite to Blair. Which was what the type of position he was always looking for in the Labour Party.
It was popular too so double bubble.

I agree the free trade agreement is coming.
tricky days ahead before that no doubt.....but you are right, free trade sunny uplands is just around the corner.
and clear about a free trade agreement too at the end of the process.
Its almost as if some of you hate that idea.

The British working class are going to get f*ked over by the Tory toffs and cranks who duped them into voting for Brexit slightly more than by immigration issues and the failings of The Home Office. Was non-EU immigration all part of this Blair conspiracy to f*ck over the British working class too? It doesn't matter - nothings going to change in the future in regards to immigration numbers.

I wasn't suggesting that as I don't believe it'll ever get that far unless we make some major concessions and change our negotiating position and strategy from one of basically being Johnny Foreigner has got to do exactly what we want because we're British and better than them and we had an empire etc.
