Yeah, I bet they have... pretty worrying considering I work for an Insurance company based in the City. I imagine Frankfurt will seize the opportunity in full... they'll be a feck ton of investment coming there way over the next 2 years.
Yep there's a non-insignificant minority here who genuinely believe that. People truly think we'd catch up with Western Europe in no time if we left.
Can't understand that. Your country is as reliant on Germany as Ireland is on the UK (and that's saying something), and believe me, we are going to feel the effects of the UK leaving the EU, badly.
If Scotland stayed in the EU rather than the UK then Edinburgh would be another possibility (Paris is also hoping to be able to give a bunch of the finance companies a new home as well)
So, where are you building that factory now?
It's going to take a while to come into effect, there needs to be a lot of discussion about exactly how we are going to leave the EU and what our relationship with Europe will be from now on.
As in the dissolution of EU? Pretty much depends on how the rulling ones in the EU react now and how many countries will want a referendum themselves I guess.
Yeah, I agree with you that those accusations of the killing or raping stuff was absolute nonsense. As for the Ukrainian part, yeah, there always was this migration of Belarusians and Ukrainians to us but never to such an extent as it is nowadays due to their war with Russia though. As you can see in this thread it's been already mentioned that we're bunch of cnuts for not welcoming the immigration process, being mocked that we don't know shit about immigration while it gets completly ignored by those who do it that we indeed have an immigration but from the other side of our border.
Edinburgh? Absolutely no chance. It's too small. More likely to be Dublin given the fact that so many global companies already have headquarters here, but that won't happen either.
Yes it does, but nobody knows this which is why it's wishful thinking and a stupid reason to vote to leave. There is no indication that this will happen, it's as stupid as saying that Turkey is about to join the EU.
Yeah yeah, but what about the football?
France was the fallback location - meeting next week to decide but 99% going to be there
Yep, being the financial centre for Europe is gone and unlikely to ever return.
A comment on a status on Facebook. Every leave status/comment apart from one person has been similarly put together on my Facebook. I'm not saying that says it all, but it sure is a trend.
Nothing will change in the immediate future it will probably take at least 2 years before you will see some real changes to your everyday life.

If they had a referendum now they 100% would get it.
Nah Edinbrugh has no chance, they'd have to leave the UK first... and that takes time in itself. Frankfurt already has the prospects and the infrastructure to do it... Paris is a shout though, because of its size and stature.
Christ, what a fecking toad of a man.
No It is done. We are leaving the EU.
Frankfurt also has a major stock exchange, the ECB is based there, and the city is located in the biggest european country. So it's safe to say, that Frankfurt will soak up the most, yeah.
no we didnt get a 70 billion bailout from them. We got a loan which we have to pay back. And bankers are bankers, Irish / German. Why would Germany refuse to let us burn bank investors in Ireland yet they are able to burn bank investors in Germany?
I think I'm getting caught up between two points of view here, Polish and British one. I guess that everybody will watch now GB will react to all of this, a guinean pig if you will. Hypothetically speaking, everything is fine in next 2-3 years, you guys bounce back from whatever recession, do you really think that more countries won't ask for referendas? You've got plenty of eurosceptical parties getting some power all around Europe, even in France, so surely if Britain manages it will be a fuel for the anti-EU movements?
Thanks for that, mate
He somewhat admitted that was propaganda there. The cnut
There is no evidence for any of what you just said. It's all just hopeful optimism. We need more than that to gamble with our futures.
Did you even read the post? I never mentioned anything about Irish banks or politicians being 'absolved' from anything. You do know that Ireland was forced into a bailout right?
Apart from fuel/energy prices (oil, coal and gas imports will be priced in $/€) and probably interest rate rises although it's still hard to know how/when the BoE will call that one.
Was thinking the same. Looks like a guy who really wants to just go down to the pub and sing '9 German bombers' rather than doing research on macroeconomics.
Of course it's pure speculating from me, I'm just saying what might happen. Obviously Britain might go to shite and ask politely to be taken back in for what it's worth.
Yep, I get it.
In France the problems are local, it has nothing to do with the EU. People don't care about Brussel, you shouldn't listen to the press who gives way too much credit to Le Pen or Melenchon, they are both idiots and liars.
THat's the only positive i can think of from this vote, it will probably create some nice opportunities careerwise for me.
