What inward investment have we received because of Brexit? Come on give me some evidence of this phenomenon. Because I can give you dozens of links to stories about companies leaving the UK. Not shitty companies either, I'm talking financial services, pharmaceuticals, companies that provide the treasury with massive tax receipts.  Go on, give me a bone fide link to a good news Brexit story. We've already had the good news about exporting pigs ears so you can't use that one. Edited October 6, 2017 by Renton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 20312 Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 The most positive Brexit story I can remember is the government bribing Nissan to stay. Shame there aren't the resources to extend that gesture to multinational companies across all industries here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 4992 Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 The most positive Brexit story for me is the fact that it appears to have shattered the Tories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being the case, presumably you would castigate those who told you that it was going to be a roaring success?  Equally of course, if it turns out to be all bikinis and speedboats, metaphorically or literally speaking, I suppose we should come out and admit that we were wrong too.

Renton 18552 Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 He only voted Brexit, if indeed he did at all, to be contrary with the members of this board. Iirc he was initially remain citing Nissan as his reason (very sensible). When he realised the rest of the board were also remain (and Boris was leave), he flipped.  The massive contrary tit head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayatollah Hermione 13025 Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 "as long as the Government secures a transitional Brexit deal." is an exact quote from the Express article's SUB-HEADING ffs   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meenzer 14245 Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 And more specifically a deal under which nothing changes. Â So, not really "good news about Brexit" so much as "good news about what will happen during the years it takes to actually figure out how the hell to leave the EU conclusively". Â Still, better they pull out of the UK in five or ten years' time than tomorrow, so there's that. Inertia is literally the best-case scenario we have available to us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isegrim 9057 Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Has BMW announced a final decision? The last I read here about it a couple of weeks ago was that they are still not totally sure about it as they fear the prospect of a hard brexit and might revise their plans announced in July. For the time being they just do not want to waste their investment in the Oxford plant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No link so I don't really know what you're talking about.  Have BMW actually said they are investing because of Brexit? Because if not, it was going to happen if we remained. So it's not good news, merely not bad news. Agreed?  So you still have no good news story about Brexit, and are still twisting your knickers claiming all we present is bad news, when you yourself have not been able to present any positive news.  Glad we've got that sorted, fuck me you're hard work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renton 18552 Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 I've had a bit of spare time this weekend doing child care duties (neglecting the kids basically) and reread some of this thread.  CT confidently predicted we would have a cracking deal with the EU within 12 months of the vote (BMWs and prosecco) and also that the EU would have disintegrated by now.  Not that surprising. But what really is interesting is that we all, CT included, thought we'd stay in the SM. Just goes to show how the debate has been changed, we've all been screwed over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
