I know this stuff is ‘cheap’ but it’s pretty disgusting and there are lots of healthier alternatives.

Brexit: 1,000 EU finance firms 'set to open UK offices'

[Link]

Probably a typing error. Swapped 'open' for close. Seriously, the BBC needs to get this kind of thing right or else it might give the wrong impression about Brexit.

"The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command." - 1984 - George Orwell.

If that's true the building game will be boosted and any closed offices will be open for business again. That tiny,annoying little bit of land has some appeal.

Well tbh I cant see why not. A little bit of a lot can be a lot more than a big bit of a little. That's easy for me to say
The problem with anylyzing spending and taxes etc is that % and £ are used side by side.
It should be one or the other ie if a footballer on 2m year paid a flat 20% in a year that's virtually what joe public would pay in their life. But if people give it the he earns this so he should pay that it muddies the water somewhat. Use either or but not both.
As I've said a previous boss moaned about pound note profit on a small job but the same % on a big job hes happy but the same maths was used, t***.

I would imagine it would be a whole host of factors. Easier to hire/retain staff if you have a UK presence, fears about the EU over-regulating, a sense that you still need to access to the areas that the UK FS sector specialise in.

I wonder, and acknowledge a bias here, if this vaccine narrative has hit home with a lot of people? That the UK has proven how it can react faster to a changing situation than the EU? Tangible evidence that a UK no longer beholden to Brussels can adapt to circumstances in a way that the 27 EU member states cannot?

Problem is that none of us can truly judge the impact of Brexit for at least 18 months or so. And we are all guilty, to various degrees, of seizing upon anything that helps us back up our own views on it.

Willing to acknowledge that.

And Labour and the general left didn't.

Now the Tories are left wing as well and couldn't give a monkey's as long as the house prices don't fall.

It's all about state control of your life.....wear the mask, think what we want you to think and enjoy the life we allow you to live.

Can't complain about it now....especially as the Greens are this times two.
