3000 jobs, but will the company pay tax? Or has the decision been made after "consultation" with the government?

Its positive news either way. I think once we're free of the regulation, we should attract more high tech companies to the country with a ready and able skilled workforce. |

This is another one of those "re-announce something we already announced" in the hope it will divert attention from something.
Here's the story from January: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...t-Britain.html |

BUT...... At the same time the CEO or something of Google has said it's wrong to stop freedom of movement.
Nobody wants that, nobody is proposing that. |

Another nail in the coffin of how bad Brexit will be http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-37988095 As ever, you have to look in detail at that report: "Sources at the technology company also said if barriers were thrown up to skilled immigration following the vote to leave the European Union, some of Google's investment could be at risk." In other words, if there's a hard Brexit that so many appear to want in this particular forum then that will significantly harm the prospects of Google actually enacting that investment. |

Yes, it's time for more of the usual selective Brexit propaganda from the usual source.

A hard Brexit will not harm Googles investment as nowhere does it say that we will stop immigration of skilled workers that we want to come here. We just don't want any Tom, Dick or Harry (should that be Jean, Fritz or Luigi) coming here with nothing to offer just because they can. |

In your world that becomes "will significantly harm the prospects of Google actually enacting that investment". Can you spot the difference? |

Perhaps when you understand that, you'll realise you're making a fool of yourself. Hard Brexit means leaving the Single Market. Immigration control at that point returns to the UK as a sovereign state. |

Your comment clearly shows that you (and many others) do not understand what a Hard Brexit means. Or what an end to free movmement entails.
A hard Brexit will not harm Googles investment as nowhere does it say that we will stop immigration of skilled workers that we want to come here. We just don't want any Tom, Dick or Harry (should that be Jean, Fritz or Luigi) coming here with nothing to offer just because they can. Quote:
This "source" from Google supposedly says "some of Google's investment could be at risk".

^ All we have there is yet more selective denial of actuality. You would rather trash this country's economy and have it flushed away down the Gary Glitter than come to a pragmatic comprise deal like such as the ones that Iceland and Norway have. A UK deal like they have would pretty much guarantee that all of Google's investment promises would be fully enacted.
The economy is not going to be trashed. Expert analysis ranges from a slowdown of 0.3 to 0.5% GDP under WTO rules. |

With the Norway deal we still have to pay and still have to accept freedom of movement which the majority do not want. Doing away with those will not stop Google or anyone else for that matter investing in the UK and bringing in the "Skilled" workers they require. Though it would be even better if we could train those skilled workers ourselves. |
