Here is an interesting French article that argues that the City has done well.

Brexit is a scheme to turn the nation into an Anglo Asian powerhouse. The money people want Asian businesses and people to help drive the country forward.

Young single Europeans male and female have been replaced by Asians males. They are economical more productive and wi do unpopular jobs.

Meanwhile Eluned "encourages" workers to come into the office as there are so many empties desks to justify paying for the office. She is too timid to instruct them it seems.

I think my post man or woman is working from home.

It won’t be because it ‘s pretty easy to find other opinions and figures.

In fairness I think it’s true to say that financial services have not been as negatively effected as predicted (which is a pretty sorry statement in any case) but that’s one element.

Which other industries have benefited?

What else can people think of that would have such a positive financial impact as rejoining the single market?

Well on the other hand, we did lose of lot of manufacturing when we were in the EU, compnaies moved to Europe because it was cheaper and the Eu made it easy. Some of it was the British government trying to ensure we'd never leave.

Turns out then, it's not a disaster, there have been some benefits like the trade deals that have been slow coming but are now building up and with new people in Westminster and the Eu hotseat who are being more pragmatic and trying to sort out a deal better for both sides, it's starting to look much better.

A massive proportion of the UK's troubles have been caused internaly by pure greed and self serving stupidity.

Agree with the last paragraph absolutely.

As for the new trade deals, they don’t touch what we’ve lost from the EU.

As I said on the other thread, I was all for giving it a go for at least a generation to respect the vote and give it a chance.

It now looks more and more like an act of self sabotage and I’d rather we started to talk about a single market than the alternative - following Farage down a Reform rabbit warren of misery and hate.

Unfortunately I can’t see the EU giving us favourable terms - it’s not in their interests.

That could be the catalyst to start having the conversation.

Labour are really struggling with factions and this could be a way of galvanising some serious support.

The EU's (not Europe. The difference matters) entire response to Brexit has been intended to punish the UK and dissuade other nations from perhaps taking the same route.

It's one of the reasons why I'm glad we chose to leave as I would be glad to leave any abusive relationship. Things might be tough to begin with, but in the long run you're always better off out of it.

Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back.

EU has already given the UK very good terms. In 2021 a good deal was agreed. THE EU has been very generous to UK.

From AI

"The EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement (TCA) provisionally entered into force on 1 May 2021 and provides for zero tariffs and zero quotas on all trade of EU and UK goods that comply with the appropriate rules of origin."

Immigration free movement is blocked which is why the French are perhaps not too tough on people smuggling.

The city's doing well so Brexit is a success, rightio. Some idiots do really aspire to things they will never achieve. The cheerleaders on here think they're gonna luck out before they die and become multi-millionaires. It aint gonna happen, truth is we're more closely aliggned to those that can't heat their houses in the winter.
