While you are correct I don't think many knew what they were voting for to stay in either as no one can give me any answer about where they expect the eu to go of become in the next ten years or so.

Re: Not hard or soft but "open" Brexit

Hi

It gets worse, the City is short circuiting the Government and trying to do it's own deal.

http://news.sky.com/story/why-the-ci...ssels-10935423

Services are our biggest export to the EU, not goods,

Services are not covered by WTO Rules, the EU could simply refuse to Passport UK firms and force them to move to the EU.

Why is this important?

Simply the amount of Tax they pay in VAT and dealing levies, never mind the Corporation Tax.

They amount they pay is far more than our EU Membership costs.

It would also completely destroy Corbyn's Manifesto.

He was going to put a levy of £Billions on them to fund stopping Austerity.

You cannot put a levy on something that does not exist anymore.

Euro Clearing takes place in London, it is worth £880 million a day.

The loss of tax on that would be impossible to replace.

I am informed that at the last count there are around 340 of them working here, the cost of leaving works out at slightly over £2 million for each one.
That's good. We should keep them under my personal policy that I have stated on here before:

Allow in anyone who will benefit our country; deny entry to anyone who offers nothing.

Too late now, all the dopey little turkeys voted for Christmas and now they are whinging because the promised land can't be seen.
