Guardian eh ,says it all , next clown please!

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

You are clearly not following the official position there, we haven't done brexit yet, therefore it's the EU insulating us from impending doom, but when it does happen, that's when all the nightmares come true, the full-on nuts-to-the-wall nukular apocalypsogeddon. And 5p on the price of marmite

See what I mean? You're talking the future when it's already happening. I do all my banking online and when I view my account, it tells me the large amount they would lend me if I so desired. I do my insurances online and on the phone. I use the phone because you can get a better deal if you push for it; you're probably paying over the top.

I'm surprised by this post. I've had insurance with several different companies, with several properties, and I've never had anyone come to assess my property - and I bought my first flat in 1990. Even when I've made claims they've taken my word for it (relating to contents and damage to fixtures and fittings, rather than to the building structure).

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.

O'Leary was crying like a baby at the prospect of Brexit.

How long have you had your head stuck in the sand? I'm reckoning at least 20 years lol

So you think there banking industry is going to close down, I mean "some retailing activity" is saying that in fact you are basically saying it will all move on line so all the bank branches will close down as well . Firstly the ECB will not be able to limit trading in Euros to the Eurozone as they have said as the USA , Japan , China etc etc will then not allow them to trade their currency trades , secondly the Eurozone banks will not be able to come up with all the guarantees they need to back up the trades it is a lot of money and they will head for disaster when they are not allowed to trade other currency trades , thirdly you fail to mention why all the banks would leave when they already have registered offices in other parts of the EU ?

Deluded, no. Money walks and will continue to do so, without emotion or nationalism, to protect itself. So the banks will indeed be sniffing around for safer havens whether you like it or not. 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.

O.P:

Me:

(Feeling too bloated from Christmas dinner to care about Brexit right now.)

Not long till Dinnexit!

And if it moves to Ireland without a government able to underwrite it in the event of a future financial crisis. Small nations should be weary of ending up with too large a banking and financial services sector. A lesson you would of thought was learnt in the 2008/2009 financial crisis.

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

Hmm, didn't quite work that way with Ulster bank though did it?

Their legal status is due to an addendum the UKs EU accession treaty.
If the UK leaves then they have no EU status.

Serious question, if the vote had gone the other way and remain won would you accept leavers wanting a second vote? You know you wouldn't entertain that.

Why would it? Ulster Bank isn't Irish owned.

Yawn. Are these the same banks that said they were going when we didn't join the Euro. Exactly which countries have the financial infrastructure in place to accept these banks?

So does Britain. You really are deluded I'm afraid. This country will do very well free of rules and regulations from the world's only declining trading block and we're very much open for business. As our economic indicators are showing.

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.

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.

Parody and delusion. Merry Christmas Aurichie.

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.

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

If the vote has gone in your favour, would you accept if leavers fought for a second referendum?

If a majority of eligible voters had voted to break the status quo and go for brexit then my opinion would be slightly different. Unfortunately, brexiteers didn't win a majority of votes from eligible voters therefore my view is the issue must by thrown back to parliament to decide in our parliamentary democracy. I would think most brexiteers who voted to take back control and protect our parliamentary democracy would support this stance?
