Christmas Tree 4005 Posted July 12, 2016 Author Share Posted July 12, 2016 (edited) Germany's Siemens embraces 'Project Optimism' in Brexit U-turn. Europe’s largest industrial combine has vowed to press ahead with investment in Britain despite the vote to leave the EU, backing away deftly from earlier suggestions that Brexit would cause a painful freeze on new activities. Joe Kaeser, the chief executive of Siemens, said the German engineering and technology giant remains fully committed to the UK whatever happens, but called on Theresa May to clarify Britain's post-Brexit trade vision as soon as possible and tell the world what kind of country it will become. “We’re here for the long-term and we don’t let ourselves get jerked up and down. We’re staying because the UK is a good place to do business,” he said. Mr Kaeser said the company had been misunderstood in the heat of the Brexit campaign when it was widely seen as a cheer-leader for Remain. Corporate damage-control is underway at the highest level. “We never said the UK is in bad shape if it leaves the EU: we said the EU would miss a massive opportunity. Without the UK, the EU may never be able to stand up against superpowers like China and the US,” he told the Daily Telegraph and three other UK newspapers. Poor lambs were just "misunderstood" during the campaign. No project fear to see here Edited July 12, 2016 by Christmas Tree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renton 18051 Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 It all depends if we stay in the EEA or not, it's looking like we will imo at the expense of keeping free movement of people. No doubt there will be some fudge on that to try and appease some of the more xenophobic leavers but ateotd it won't stop because we need immigrants. So victory for Remain after all . Seriously though, it's caused us huge reputational damage, we'll get a worse deal (no rebate etc), no say in policy, we've damaged our own and Europe's economies, the NE will suffer through loss of regional development, and universities will be hit by loss of research and foreign students. Not great, but maybe not the worst outcome of May is sensible. I'm feeling calmer than last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christmas Tree 4005 Posted July 12, 2016 Author Share Posted July 12, 2016 One fly this morning. I'm guessing those lazy maggot bastards are late risers. Where is the fairness, we ask, for the flys, leaving home in the dark hours of the early morning, who looks up at the closed blinds of their next door neighbour maggots, sleeping off a life on benefits?

Rayvin 4970 Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Did you catch that report about British scientists being dropped from EU projects CT? Appreciate it may have been discussed already. Many of these academic studies receive funding solely from the EU, so we're going to have to make up quite a short fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 30800 Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 That 2nd referendum petition to Parliament has got over 4 million signatures now. I bet you any money a significant amount didn't bother to vote in the first one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well they are bound to really given we are leaving. At least this sort of funding going forward can be decided by future UK politicians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 35569 Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Either way dickhead, do you understand how the decision to leave the EU is not BAU for these people? Which was the point I was making. I saw some bloke on TV the other day who thought he had a career mapped out for him who feels that it's all been thrown into doubt. There's a poster on here that's said the same ffs. You turning up and smugly posting that so and so company says they're staying is the behaviour of a cockend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
