The people of Ireland do not benefit: the jobs don't even pay that well. If the EU sees tax avoidance, the Irish taxpayer pays for the case. Laughable is the only word for it. Knowing the government here, there are bound to be brown envelopes involved.

I'm a rabid leaver and have absolutely no confidence in Boris Johnson. The game is rigged so we need a new game. I can kind of see where you're coming from, because Boris Johnson is primary about Boris Johnson. He's something of an opportunist and I'm not sure that he genuinely holds many politics beliefs. That said he's PM now and will want to have a good stab at getting beyond this. There are complications in various directions, but he knows not to follow Theresa Mays approach at least. The clock is ticking down, we'll get a good idea of how effective his approach is before long.

Always struck me as a complete mystery why 'nationalist' organisations like the SNP seem so keen on swapping one version of what they see as servitude for another. The desire for self-determination I get. I loathe foreign institutions having any say over UK law. And I get why people might vote for the SNP if they believe Scotland would be better off if it had the ability to make its own laws and decide its own fate. But how and why that now seems so tied up with this idea that the EU is the answer to all of their problems is utterly beyond me. Yes, the history between all of us home nations and/or Ireland hardly makes for the most pleasant of reading at time but we also share a lot of common bonds and cultural values. The average punter in Dublin or Glasgow has so much more in common with their equivalent in Birmingham or Bristol (I will leave London out because that is in a category of its own now that neither Scotland or Ireland have anything even close to) than anybody in Europe yet seemingly nationalists in both would rather tie their future to Brussels or Berlin. I cannot help but think that a chip on their shoulders lays at the bottom of this all. They simply hate living in England's shadow and would rather swap that darkness for a similar gloomy one but emanating from Brussels. They lack the confidence to actually try and make it on their own. Me too. The SNP witter on about not wanting to be part of a Union (ie United Kingdom) but want to be part of a Union that is the EU.

Laughable is the only word for it. Knowing the government here, there are bound to be brown envelopes involved. Twenty years ago the bank I worked for moved it's operations from London to Dublin putting about 2000 workers out of a job. This was only possible because of the EU and a tax deal they did with the Irish government. Over the next few months you will hear stories of companies moving jobs outside of the EU and Brexit will be blamed. Well this happened when we were in the EU the difference is that it never made the papers unlike today. My company was one of the first into Dublin and also one of the first out. Having successfully moved they realised they could do it again once they had exploited the tax scheme and moved the jobs including mine to India. It's a global economy these days in or out of the EU.

Could this be considered a relatively 'positive' article on the effects of a No deal from the Beeb??

Pretty much the pattern as I see it. We have had several come and go as the tax deal runs out.

£2.1bn allocated by the Treasury to prepare for no-deal - 2 years ago that would have been described as project fear. Raab caught out yesterday claiming that he regularly talked about no deal during the referendum; [Link] Utter, utter madness. Edited by EverybodyDannsNow (02 Aug 2019 10.51am)
