    Immigration of the London City now starting to go in the other direction..was predicted to happen before the vote but "declared rubbish" by Boris "the terrible"....and UKIP.......as were all other expert statements called "rubbish"....by both.

    HSBC to move 1000 jobs to Paris when #UK will leave #EU #Brexit
    http://economie.hotnews.ro/stiri-fin...-europeana.htm


    The City is expected to lose over 100,000 banking and investment jobs over the next two years as will the City lose the right to buy and sell EU bonds and other EU financial products since they will not be in the EU......Frankfurt, Paris and NYC are rejoicing today.......

    Boris "the terrible"...also stated that this was "rubbish" and would never happen.....well it has started.....

    .@NicolaSturgeon (Scotland) describes events in Westminster as "utter chaos, shambolic and frankly disgraceful"

    The petition for a second referendum on the EU, which now has 3m+ supporters, was set up by a Leave campaigner. http://news.sky.com/story/1717815/se...up-by-brexiter

    Britain's elites have been governing a country they wished they had rather than one they have.

    I have doubts that a Rumanian news site would have such a scoop.

    Default Globalisation

    I don't recall this theme being strongly mentioned in the campaign, although other words may have been used.

    So this commentary in The Guardian is noteworthy:https://www.theguardian.com/business...-globalisation

    A key passage:
    This was more than a protest against the career opportunities that never knock and the affordable homes that never get built. It was a protest against the economic model that has been in place for the past three decades.
    It is ironic that many of those who have campaigned against TTIP for example and globalisation are generally found on the Left, who mainly voted to Remain.

    David,

    Hopefully cooler heads will prevail. There will be a painful adjustment, not only in Europe, but globally; however, I think it is possible the UK will be better off in the long run. Other countries, to include France and Italy are reportedly considering leaving also. When it comes to economics, the experts have a poor track record. The EU by most accounts has weakened NATO, so from a collective security aspect little is lost there,

    Not the same, but most predicted the colonies would fail when we separated from England. The world doesn't stand still, it changes continuously.

    But interestingly enough HSBC has not denied it which they would have if not true.....there have been other banking groups quietly stating before the vote that they would leave as the City will lose the right or "passport" as they call it to trade in EU funds, EU bonds and other EU issued financial products.

    That includes the City being the current center of Euro currency trades....that is the reason that Paris and Frankfurt has been wooing those banks....to move.

    This article goes to the heart of the coming loss of City finance jobs to either Paris and or Frankfurt....

    Comments from French & Dutch Officials suggest loss of passporting: IF true, very damaging for UK economy
    http://ner.sagepub.com/content/236/1/31.full.pdf

    Having ‘passporting’ rights to the Single Market and access to the financial infrastructure of the Eurozone is vital to hosting Euro financial markets.
    UK losses that passporting right when they leave the EU.....

    Germany's No 2 effectively quashing rumours of possibly negotiating "Brexit-lite": single market + some FOM control https://twitter.com/juliamacfarlane/...75243697668096

    German views both private and publicly among the local citizens and the German parties pay close attention.....

    "If you want the benefits then you must play the game"...meaning if you want schools fund them, if you want jobs then push you government for jobs, if you want job training push your government and presto they find the EU will find the funds.

    Example.....where I live which is in the rural edge of Berlin there is a main German Weather Service center (DWD) which has been here since the late 1880s and there is the old center with a lot of historical weather related pieces of equipment and historical documents .....the local community formed a committee approached the EU Rural Fund laid their plans out and got 75% of the estimated construction costs and first three years of operation in order for them to get going as a major weather museum.

    Presto....after the initial slow start....it has gained in popularity and is drawing visitors from all over including tourists outside Germany who are interested in weather and climate change and they are carrying themselves financially.

    Second example....a small specialized company dealing in the stripping of metal construction products prior to a specialized coating being applied.....which employs 25 locals and pushes a good deal of their products into exports... applied for and got 100% funding for the construction of the actual plant and 70% operational funding to carry them for three years until they got their feet on solid good. Now they are at 40 employees and are carrying themselves very well.

    The EU has been good at pushing investment and employment measures for rural development.

    So to hear from Leave types that it was about schools, hospitals and other local needed services WHY did not the government push the Eu for more aid in supporting the increasing immigrant stream??

    Jeremy Corbyn , the Labour leader, has said that areas that voted most strongly to leave in the EU referendum are “communities that have effectively been abandoned” by economic change and the austerity policies of Britain’s Conservative government.

    So why did the Leavers kill the golden goose instead of beating up their own government and why did they "blame" Brussels instead of Whitehall???

    "Game over" for Boris "the terrible" and those on the Leave side that felt with this mandate they could go back to the EU and renegotiate what they felt Cameron had failed to achieve and then they could have come back and back off of Article 50....

    European Union will not make Britain any fresh offers to keep it in the bloc, German Vice Chancellor Sigmar Gabriel says - Reuters

    S&P confirms to the FT that UK will lose its final AAA credit rating.

    We calculated this would cost the country about £4bn, (before #BlackFriday), in extra interest payments on our debt.
