Did you queue up to offer to lose your job if we quit the EU? I suspect that very few people would have done so. At the risk of stating the obvious, companies will fail and jobs be lost whichever outcome the referendum had. Businesses always face serious challenges, and need to find a way to make profit in new climates. It's hard at time but it's how capitalism works. Yes it damn well matters to me and everyone in the company. Instead of growing the company we will remain at the same size for the foreseeable future. We are lucky that, so far, we are not losing current contracts but some of our customers are going to have lots of problems and could shrink or fold. That's inevitable whatever your line of business or the referendum outcome. The Leftymind expects that suitable environments will be provided for Lefty****s to get paid a salary, and bring up more lefty****s, without ever having to make a huge effort or take a risk. So many have that mindset, despite it being quite unrealistic. NT |

So you're going to personally re-imburse anyone who loses their job, Nope, because there is no evidence that anyone has lost their job due to Britain leaving the EU except with MEPs, most of whom chose to stick their snouts in the EU trough and get to wear the fact that their gravy train has been removed once the EU stops handing them anything. or is faced with higher food costs as a result of your principled stand are you ? You haven't established that anyone will have higher food costs now that Britain is free to import food from anywhere it likes in the world where it is cheapest without paying any duty/tariff. Is it that sort of principle you're talking about ? Even sillier than you usually manage. You see taking a principled stand when that person is likely to be the only one to suffer is indeed a highly commendable act. Politics is never that simple, fool. However taking a principled stand regardless of what the possibly disastrous consequences to your fellow citizens might be, is not only not commendable in any way, but can only be seen as a rather selfish and self serving gesture, at the very best.

In fact on the face of it - given that Remainers are characterised as soft touches who are easily gulled by propaganda, unlike hard headed Brexiters who take everything with a pinch of salt, you might imagine it was Remainers who mainly contributed to those charities. Certainly those devoted to foreigners. And as Brexiters, the better-off ones at least, are apparently more in favour of fox-hunting, that's the RSPCA out of the picture as well.

Instead of growing the company we will remain at the same size for the foreseeable future. We are lucky that, so far, we are not losing current contracts but some of our customers are going to have lots of problems and could shrink or fold. A lot of our European work dried up a while back. It was expected to return, but I would be very doubtful if we are selected against competition within the EU. You are in fact much more competitive with the pound sagging. No, not in my industry. Raw materials will go up, only so much can be passed on. As for Britains major earner, the service sector, we will no longer be on a level playing field in the EU. If the pound sags the population of what's left of Britain are going to get dashed peckish. We dont just import the odd Mercedes and plastic santa you know, we buy in food and energy also.

Some of us voted on principle, not immediate gain. So you're going to personally re-imburse anyone who loses their job, or is faced with higher food costs as a result of your principled stand are you ? Is it that sort of principle you're talking about ? You see taking a principled stand when that person is likely to be the only one to suffer is indeed a highly commendable act. However taking a principled stand regardless of what the possibly disastrous consequences to your fellow citizens might be, is not only not commendable in any way, but can only be seen as a rather selfish and self serving gesture, at the very best. So the majority of your fellow countrymen are selfish *******s. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_...Index_rankings Who's to say those people didn't all vote Remain ? Sorry, what was your question ? I didn't ask a question. So how's about you answer mine ? As you seem to think your link is significant in some way, what's to say those people didn't all vote Remain ? Do your carers know that you're off your meds? |

In fact on the face of it - given that Remainers are characterised as soft touches who are easily gulled by propaganda, unlike hard headed Brexiters who take everything with a pinch of salt, you might imagine it was Remainers who mainly contributed to those charities. Certainly those devoted to foreigners. And as Brexiters, the better-off ones at least, are apparently more in favour of fox-hunting, that's the RSPCA out of the picture as well. Do you also believe that everyone born under the sign of Aquarius is exactly the same. You cannot even begin to guess the true characteristics of leavers and remainders. It appears that you may believe that all those who voted leave are uneducated idiots who didn't realise the consequences of their actions but I suggest that they were an average cross section of society in exactly the same proportions as those who voted to stay. The reason Brexit has had an immediate negative effect on the financial markets is because no-one is currently running the country. The bunch of people from all political parties who we voted for in the last general election are too busy with their in-fighting and running negative campaigns against their opposition - in much the same way as they did during the run up to the referendum. -- mailto: news {at} admac {dot] myzen {dot} co {dot} uk |

Some of us voted on principle, not immediate gain. The problem being that we are going to get neither. Bet Britain does on being able to determine immigration policy for itself, and on being able to determine all other policy for itself too. |

Those who voted leave were not only uneducated idiots but worse still gamblers. Who gambled with others' money too. Apart from those who really did vote out on all important principles. Like not being able to buy glyphosate in the supermarket. -- *Why isn't 11 pronounced onety one? * Dave Plowman London SW To e-mail, change noise into sound. |

Tim Watts wrote michael adams wrote So do you expect all those people who are going to lose their jobs to contact you, directly ? Or are you going to contact them ? And would salary slips for say the previous six months be sufficient to caculate their payments ? I must admit it's really refreshing to meet a true man of principle, who's not going to weasal out of anything. I am not responsible for them. But you are. Nope. You were advised by the Government of the possible consequences of voting "out". Including job losses. But there is no evidence that the govt got that right. Or that those who have lost their jobs did so because Britain left the EU either. You chose to ignore that advice Because the govt had no basis to substantiate the claims they made. and quite possibly as a direct result of your voting "out", those people are going to lose their jobs. You don’t know that either. It really is a simple as that I'm afraid. Like hell it is. You and people who voted as you did are going to be just as responsible for the financial disaster which lies ahead, There is no financial disaster ahead. If Britain survived much of the world financial system imploding spectacularly in 2008 fine, it will survive leaving the EU fine too. as is Tony Blair for all the devastation caused by the War on Iraq Even sillier than you usually manage. That would have happened anyway even if Blair had opposed it completely. and the current state of the Middle East. Ditto. Only the current situation, is IMO potentially far more serious for this Country than was the Iraq war for the Iraqis. Completely off with the ****ing fairys, as always. Given that they were starting from a lower baseline to start with, Completely off with the ****ing fairys, as always. |

Tim Watts wrote michael adams wrote And please don't lie and claim that even just one of these people can guarentee that none of this is going to happen Because they can't. Yeah - and you can't guarantee it will happen. But you're the one quite prepared to gamble with people's jobs. Not me. Wrong, as always. Britain staying in the EU is an even bigger gamble with peoples' jobs than leaving if the eurozone implodes completely and takes Britain with it because Britain's financial services industry is so dependant on the state of the eurozone even with Britain not in the eurozone. If the eurozone implodes spectacularly, there goes most of the jobs in the British financial services industry with it. So best stop winging and wait and see what actually happens... But its not me that counts here, is it ? It's the thousands of people who are now unsure whether they're going to have a job next year who matter here. And all because of your vote. They would have been just as unsure if the vote had been to stay. Just different people. With Britain leaving the EU quite a few jobs in the ag sector will be going given that about half the income from of that sector is EU CAP subsidys. With Britain still in the EU it is the financial services industry if the eurozone implodes completely and takes jobs in the British financial services sector with it. Do you really imagine "wait and see what actually happens" is going to be much of a consolation to them, in such a situation? That is all anyone can ever did with either leaving or remaining. That's life. You get to like that or lump it. It's pretty obvious that just like TNP, you're so far up yourself that you haven't given any thought whatsoever as to how Brexit is actually going to adversly impact on tens of thousands of people in this country. Just as true of you with Britain remaining. Never mind its potential impact on the Union. Maybe he couldn’t care less about that. |
