You'll need to elaborate that one please?
There must have been 15,000 jobs lost in textiles in the East Midlands alone between 1995 and 2005. Nobody gave a damn. How many have gone in engineering? I was talking to a lad in recruitment on Friday. He is 40ish and said he's done well since leaving uni in the mid 90s. He said recruitment is dead. His sector is talking about another lost decade. Hey, but at least we have regained "control"
Poacher turned game-keeper
Thatcher's legacy. Let Johnny foreigner do the dirty, manual work. Saying that, we are all complicit. Wanting cheap, imported goods.
Thankfully we still have semi-nationalised,Rolls Royce, propping up the East Midlands.

From the article;
“It will definitely end with a deal that is so bad they will either get an election about this new bad deal, or they will have to have a parliamentary election before that,” Mr Drusebjerg said. “It’s very possible that Britain will never reach Brexit because I think down the road it will be obvious that the deal they will get will be really, really bad for the economy.”
Brexit is shaping up to be the worst of a slew of nationalist sentiment that’s hitting the global economy, the strategist said, citing a potential Donald Trump victory in the US election, a constitutional vote in Italy in December to limit the power of the Senate and parliamentary votes next year in Germany and France.
If it were a game of rugby/football, the two sides have just come out of the tunnel and are on the pitch warming up. The ref hasn't even blown the start whistle yet, never mind anyone actually knowing how the game will play out, what tactics the teams will use or what the result will be.
But like Welsh rugby, it's something for all the "experts" to talk about in the pub
Bad analogy Moley, I live in Scotland and the outcomes of the national sides footy and ruggers matches are crushingly predictable ;-)
Besides, two things.
I've no idea how all this will pan out, but I do know there's enough pro brexit supporters on this forum to post good news stories without my input.
Second thing, the article is really about an actual impact of the vote rather than a prediction, the withdrawal of investment has already happened. Although it's telling that the impact is unmeasured despite being a known quantity, instead the journo just picked the biggest number they could find regardless of relevance.
What on earth are you doing - that looks really destructive?
It is - much more than I thought - it seemed a good idea when I started.
Why don't you stop?
I can't change my mind, can I - that would be silly!
Setback this morning. MPs set to get a vote.
There'll be an appeal, but if that fails they court always take it to the European Court :-)

Whether a remainer or a leaver we should all be very afraid of the precedence this ruling has set.
