The sour grapes bit I can understand but why it's Bull**** , I can't. Could you explain?

[mikey4444]

Eddie...people have made this point before, but nobody really knows what will happen when we finally leave the EU.

Mrs May has managed to keep Nissan in the UK by the application of a bribe, but what about other industries ?

[Jackdaw33]

Happy to oblige. It comes from the EU ergo by definition it is bull****.

[douglas9401]

I think we should all just calm down and wait for the supremely talented Mrs May and her excellent team to bring us through this thing.
They would never have pursued a course that would send the country spiralling back to the 1950s, that much is obvious, so there must be an amazing master plan in play.
In the meantime, start stockpiling firewood and try to find a book on cooking roadkill.

[Jackdaw33]

...and save up your shillings for the meters. Don't forget to tip the coalman.

[Zacs-Master]

So it's not true that European agencies are leaving our shores?
It's not true that Britain failed to secure the backing of any of the 27 member countries for its case that trade talks should start early?

[Jackdaw33]

True or not, who cares?

[Khandro]

Typical Guardian remoaning bullexcrement, not a scrap of threat from the banks just : "The Observer has learned that EU diplomats agreed their uncompromising position at a crunch meeting on Tuesday,"

Since when have (unamed) EU diplomats had any say in what the banking sector does?

[EDDIE51]

I am still waiting for any 'Pro Brexit' AB member to come up with sensible,practical and workable suggestions as to how the problems of leaving the EU can be met.
So far all we get is 'there are no problems it is all 'bull****t' and project fear'
I fully accept that we are leaving, I am trying to get a few rational opinions as to how the departure can be managed in the best possible way and the problems overcome.

[Zacs-Master]

Ah jack, it's your in depth intelligent analysis that keeps me coming back to AB.

[mikey4444]

Eddie...as Mrs May and the Tory had a stay policy, up until the Refn, then I am hoping that she will get the best she can.

[Jackdaw33]

You fall at the first hurdle, Eddie. You suggest that there are problems in leaving the EU. Not from where I'm sitting there aren't.

[jno]

Britain doesn't site any of its ministries abroad; it's only to be expected the EU would want all its agencies on EU soil. I'm sure London will be just as happy to lose them as Frankfurt will be to take them in.

[Jackdaw33]

Happy to oblige, ZM. After all, someone has to provide in-depth intelligent analysis.

Basically, what this story is all about is the fact that a few city suits are going to have their snouts rudely wrenched from the trough. My heart bleeds.

[EDDIE51]

Khandro, at the moment the European Banking Authority and the European Medicines Agency are based in London. They can not be based in the UK once we leave the EU.
Those two directly employ over 1,000 highly paid people who will all have to move to the EU or lose their job.
But that is just the tip of the iceberg, those two agencies being in the UK is the reason why London is the center of 'Euro Banking' and why we have the large number of medical research groups in this country. Those industries employ many thousands of very skilled and well paid people. Once we no longer are the home of the European Banking Authority banks that want to provide payment services the 'Euro Zone' will have to move to the EU. A similar situation will exist with medical research.
But of course for the 'Brexit Brigade' this is just more 'Bull****' and the problem does not exist!

[Jackdaw33]

You could have said that at the beginning and saved us the lamentations over the fat cats who might be out of a job.

As you have accepted that we are leaving ... do you have an answer to the Q?

[EDDIE51]

^Yet another answer that just proves my point.
Those banking jobs in turn support many thousands more jobs in supplying and servicing them as well as the hospitality industry that provides accommodation ,refreshment and conference facilities to a very profitable industry.

[EDDIE51]

Talbot NO I do not have the answer, I never wanted to leave anyway.
I am asking the Leave supporters how they propose to address the results of their action.

' The European Banking Authority and the European Medicines Agency employ about 1,000 people, many of them British, and provide a hub for businesses in the UK. It is understood that the EU’s chief negotiator hopes the agencies will know their new locations by June, although the process may take longer.'

so no choice but to bite the bullet, seems petty in the light of Brexit. What happens if the staff don't wish to relocate, does that mean they lose their jobs,
