Didn't the remainers say Brexit would be a disaster for both countries? Not much evidence so far.

Do you know Direct Line ? well that is the future of insurance.
Recently I got building insurance. They send you a questionnaire and you fill it in. No-one comes around to check the property you are insuring. I asked them : they look up claims made in the area to assess the risk of subsidence, of flooding, of tree influence and so on. Soon there will be AI programmes to do that too. It is the same with Retail banking. There won't be local branches. Banks will assess your credit-worthiness or your business plan through an AI programme. The jobs will be to maintain complex computer programmes. These require skilled workers. If Brexit stops them being in supply here , then the jobs will move abroad. It is that simple.

The local bank branches have been closing for years, firstly when I lived in London suburbs and now just outside of London. However, it must be more than 5 years since I physically stood inside a bank because I have online banking, as does nearly everybody I know. Those changes were happening anyway, nothing to do with Brexit. Computers have been around for a long time now ... |

As Michael O'Leary maintains, Britain's misery as in Brexit is Ireland's fortune as in to exploit.
Never a truer sentiment expressed. And the head of the IDA Mr Shanahan has being making this message crystal clear to American audiences of late on all the major American news and business networks. Sell the card Brexit is bad for Britain to the world but Ireland remains open for business. |

You are talking about a different thing altogether.
Obviously there is going to be some retailing activity here, even after the hardest of Brexit, but even that will move online, and then why manage the systems from the UK if the skills here are in short supply due to Brexit ? |

And when the banks next go bust, as they will, it'll be Ireland's problem, not ours.

Their legal status is due to an addendum the UKs EU accession treaty. If the UK leaves then they have no EU status. Quote:
All these financial companies could just re-locate to Jersey and Guernsey
They both have full 'third party status' agreements with the EU which will not be affected by the UK leaving They have access to the single market and all the advantages of being tax havens |

The deluded are those who, with their heads right up a very dark place and their eyed closed, are trying to re-invent a long-lost world. Fortunately, there are enough of realists about to put a stop to all the Farage-provoked lies and bigotry. Our great country has, regrettably, taken a step into a void of uncertainly, based on a tissue of lies and foolishness, but common sense will prevail. In the meantime, you stick with your delusions if you want to, at least at the moment you have the choice to do so.

because we , the 48 % will ask for one .. along with quite a few Leave voters, who - when recently polled by YouGov - stated that they would be unwilling to be even 100 pounds worse off a year as a result of Brexit.
I think it would be a lot worse than 100 pounds a year for quite a few of them actually. The transitional arrangements for 5-10 years is a big first step to stopping brexit forever. It will take stamina and patience, but this us a war we can and must win. In 5 years most of those who voted for brexit will have probably died of old age. Time is on our side. Playing the long game is how we achieve the final solution for brexit. |

Brexit must be stopped, but I don't trust the British people to make the right decision. Politicians must now do their job and act in the national interest. They just need to keep chipping away at brexit until all the bricks have been ground into dust.

Parody and delusion. Merry Christmas Aurichie.
I'm just happy more and more remainers are starting to wake up and think of this as a long war we can win after losing a battle. I've been using this arguments for months. Nobody should roll over and accept such a huge change for our country when it didn't command the support of a majority of eligible voters. The fight must go on.... |

So what you really mean is the will of the electorate must be ignored because it does not suit the losing side . You must be so proud of how you support democracy |

It's been a really lousy year I've refused to celebrate today, but I'm somewhat optimistic Christmas can be back on the menu in 2017.
