[Politics] Brexit

Interesting debate on climate change. Yes climate change happens but virtually all scientists agree that man is having a negative impact. It is rare for such firm agreement in the scientific world.
I wonder if those people who say “it is changing anyway so what does it matter” also apply the same to their lives. The one certainty we face in life is that we will die. So it makes me wonder why any of us would ever care about protecting our health. What is the point?
Daft argument isn’t it?

From today’s Money Marketing:
Financial services firms plan to shift £800 billion in assets to the EU as Brexit looms, with more a third of all companies pursuing plans to relocate operations outside the UK.
The report by EY found that 36% of all firms had publically confirmed or stated their intentions to move operations and staff inside the European Union.
For universal and investment banks, wealth and asset managers and insurance business monitored in the consultancy's Financial Services Brexit Tracker, the proportion rose to 48% – or 68 out of 143 firms.
In addition, over half, or 56%, of the 48 universal banks, investment banks and brokerages surveyed said they are considering or confirmed they are moving operations or staff.
The finding comes as the government gears up for a delayed parliamentary vote on Prime Minister Theresa May’s exit plan later this week, with no hint of what will happen should MP’s reject it, as expected.
Researchers at the big four accountants said they expected around 7,000 financial jobs to be created in the EU in the short term as a direct consequence of Brexit, following 2,000 already created.
‘We know that behind the scenes, firms are continuing to plan for a no-deal scenario,’ said Omar Ali, EY’s head of UK financial services. ‘The closer we get to March 29 without a deal, the more assets will be transferred and headcount hired locally or relocated.
'Inevitably, the contingency plans are for day one only and in the event of no-deal will represent the tip of the iceberg, as longer-term plans will be more strategic and extensive than those publicly announced to date. As things stand, and per regulatory expectations, financial services firms have no choice but to continue preparing on the basis of a no-deal scenario.’
Dublin was, by a wide margin, the first choice of the firms pursuing relocation plans, followed by Paris.

Never mind about that...'the people have spoken', 'just get on with it', 'we're taking back control', 'Believe in Great Britain', 'fake news', 'project fear', 'we've had enough of experts', 'we're on our way' 'you lost, get over it'.... and to borrow from the Trump story 'these are alternative facts'.
Have I missed any of the usual worn out slogans?

Anna Soubry being targetted today. The irony of being called a fascist for having an opinion.

I was watching Sky News earlier when she was being interviewed on BBC, because all you could hear was those idiots chanting at Anna Soubry over Kay Burley and her guests. She ended up using a handheld microphone so they couldn't get heard as easily.

Here we see the ordinary man in the street, taking back power from the unelected bureaucratic liberal elite.
Get over it, he won you lost, he is on his way, he has his country back.

And the ridiculous thing is that they are so stupid they still don't understand who it is that has stitched them up, selling them a fantasy that could never be delivered
Mind you the real culprits have long since gone into hiding

I would like to see how our Brexiteer posters deny that this appalling behaviour is linked directly to Brexit; they seem to consistently proclaim all other negative affects are totally unconnected......
