I appreciate that this is from a pro-Remain fact-checking website, but some of the inaccurate stories printed by the media, many on the front pages, do point toward a common media agenda to leave the EU. These stories and shocking figures would have influenced many... And yes, I know both sides were guilty of lying, however "Press Gazette research has found that over the last month of the referendum campaign The Daily Mail, Sun, Express and Telegraph titles all strongly favoured Leave in their choice of front-page stories. This meant that over the last 28 days of the campaign around 90m newspapers were printed with pro-Leave front pages versus around 30m with pro Remain fronts." Unpicking all of this makes the result far less surprising.

There's plenty more decent providers. If everyone took that stance you wouldn't be bullied by corporates and government and would be far stronger.

Being played out like a pack of cards, surely some of you can see what's going on. C'MON GUYS WAKE UP... First, you have sCameron fake resignation. When have you ever seen a Prime Minister, or anyone, in fact, resign yet continue for two months? All broadcast media is against BREXIT, all manipulating, saying oh we told you this would happen Doom doom Death death.. A huge rise in racist attacks. These attacks happen day in day out yet never get reported by the media, until now. You will see a massive increase in these attacks, more scaremongering. My big fear is a terror hit on UK soil will happen in next two months. To trigger a quicky a second referendum and get us back in the EU bulls***. It's the Truman Show but you lot are Truman Burbank. Please stop sleeping and wake up to what's happening. C'MON GUYS PLEASE WAKE UP... Make your posts amusing and not so repetitive and desperate sounding.

Buy their own goods. Food, drink, cars, anything they make vs imports. We lost our loyalty apart from in sport years ago, and sport peaks and troughs depending on the shyteness of results.

It is, therefore, not yet possible to draw any firm conclusions regarding the long-term location for the headquarters of the group,” said the company.

The point does need to be made that Brexit scare stories are currently just scare stories. But there will be companies that decide to go. Or reduce their UK presence and investment. It's inevitable, unless the deal allows full access to the single market (which to me would be anti-democratic, as would not reflect the acknowledged will of the voting population).

Edited by OknotOK (30 Jun 2016 11.19am) I agree that some may go but also some industries and businesses are likely to grow. It took Germany a long time to get their economy as strong as it is. We expect it to happen when we wake up in the morning or on the next news hour.
