All you have from me is pointing out that Google said one thing, you completely twisted it into something else altogether.

Anyway the boss of Google is on BBC news right now, very happy with everything.
And at the end of the report, Kamal Ahmed, the BBC economics editor, said on 'Brexit Britain': "Google has answered loud and clear - Britain is a place to do business."

That's true, but on the other hand, it's a tad naive to think that the removal of the freedom of European workers to work in the UK will not present a barrier for British companies.
My company has to do a lot of recruiting from places like India and China, and what should be a simple process of a couple of weeks often turns into months of waiting for the Home Office to get their arse into gear with Tier 2 visas. It involves a lot of effort on the company's part, plus having to pay £1,100+ for each employee and each family member, plus sundry other cost (including some health surcharge or something). If the Home Office start having to do this for all the European employees, either they're going to need a he'll of a lot more people, or its just going to make recruitment impractical.
I sometimes think people overlook these potential problems.

But they already exist, that was the complaint from some leave voters who wanted non EU nationals to have the same travel/working rights as EU nationals.

I wonder what tax arrangements were offered.

<sigh> More old news masquerading as Brexit success:

It's not a Brexit success, nor is it a Brexit failure.

Perhaps you'd be happier if Google changed their plans?

Since the referendum result off the top of my head I can remember major investments coming in the UK economy involving GlaxoSmithKlin (Pharmaceuticals) , Nissan (Car Manufacturing) , London City and Heathrow Airports (Air Transport), Google, Apple & ARM (Tech) Hinckley Point (Nuclear Energy) Several Offshore Wind Projects (Renewable Energy) .
Now some people will say that many of these were planned prior to the referendum, and that is true, but we were also threatened that if an out vote was returned all this investment would dry up, and it hasn't.
I am a reassured remain voter.

I live you voted remain and I find threads like this and others I post, showing a positive side to Brexit do help with reassuring myself.

If you listened to the vocal side of remain, with all the hyperbole that is given, you would think the economy and country would be destroyed by now.

Yes, they were forced to put those restrictions in place on non-EU nationals because they could not control EU immigration.

The point is, if they can stop the influx of unskilled EU migrants then they can relax the rules on Skilled workers from everywhere.

But the points based system is not good enough if you just end up with degree qualified bus drivers. There has to be a job opening for those skills.

You are a misinformed remain voter. You were threatened with SOME of the investment drying up, not all of it.

That's only if you listened to Brexit lies about Remain. Many people do for some reason.

Google does pay all taxes due. It's not their fault that the loopholes are in place. You obviously know nothing about fiduciary duty either. A company is bound to its shareholders to pay all legal taxes and not a penny more.

Except the £1bn investment mentioned was announced back in 2013....

They say size doesn't matter but in 2013....


Fast track to 2016 post Leave vote...
