Photo doing the rounds from one of the big job sites that shows 700k (!) fewer jobs being advertised than this time last year (c.1.5m - 800k). The figures for the period pre-referendum were v similar to last year (slightly up).

Re: Brexit or Britin
I thought immigration wasn't the main issue?
You can judge the whole world on the sparkle that you think it lacks.
Yes, you can stare into the abyss, but it's staring right back.

My 'issue' would be with anyone who accept total unfettered freedom of movement and the fact only certai people with very vested interests in a united states of Europe are the ones who keep championing this pointthrowawayboltonian wrote:I'm missing your point here Hoboh? What's wrong with a country or union saying "If you want to trade with us, you have to accept our terms"? That's always been their stance - if you want to trade, you have to allow freedom of movement. Even the mighty Norway have to do this. In fact I think the only holdouts are the Swiss, and their trade negotiations are still ongoing, but I'd have to double check that. I'm fairly certain we'll be doing the same if and when we leave. What exactly is your issue here?Hoboh wrote:https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/ ... -market-eu

What about capping Turkey to no more than 85 million per annum, and the rest unrestricted?Hoboh wrote:My 'issue' would be with anyone who accept total unfettered freedom of movement and the fact only certai people with very vested interests in a united states of Europe are the ones who keep championing this pointthrowawayboltonian wrote:I'm missing your point here Hoboh?

I think where this lands is going to be an interesting "balancing act"...I don't see us getting away with zero and free trade - guess it's where the balance is struck.

If they were (and they're not) we wouldn't have a say in it now anyway, not even if we were allowed into the single market.throwawayboltonian wrote: And why do people think Turkey are so close to joining the EU? They've been trying for well over a decade and are nowhere near joining. They still have issues with Cyprus, and their human rights record to name two sticking points. If they did meet the requirements, they'd then require a unanimous verdict from all EU member states. I'm surprised that them being 'close to joining' is being touted as fact.

Re: Brexit or Britin
Anyway, what about the Italians?
Seems the EU is not really helping their needs.

Because the €40bn is nowhere near enough. The Italian banks need more like €320bn and it's just not available.Worthy4England wrote:^^ Why do we care?
Because German banks are also undercapitalised and at least 2 are close to folding so the Sausage-eaters can't help the Italians. The Eurozone will plunge into another crisis.
So Far-Eastern and Arabic banks are being courted but they insist on doing their business through London. London's price for this is two-fold ... a dropping of some of the threatened cross-Europe restrictions ("Passporting") currently threatened and the retirement of Jean-Claude Junker & moving Martin Schultz out.
You're welcome.

Re: Brexit or Britin
Its almost as if the banker Nigel Farage was representing the big banks he claimed not to be representing all along.
But no, its all about the little man.

Passporting was highlighted many times previously. No one was able to articulate at the time any sort of plan.

Well it bloody well would have been if we had remained and don't give me the 'we are not in the Eurozone' nonsense, if the Euro collapsed the EU would and we would be part of the calamity it would cause.
