Brexit Benefits Log

[drfchound]

So you aren’t sure that London will be back where it was as a financial force.
Perhaps that is why Brexiteers aren’t listing the benefits of leaving, because we don’t know yet.
I voted to remain by the way.

Nor are you sure that Brexit will mark the beginning of a long slow decline of the City of London from a major international finance force to a minor reginal one.

Although as Brexiteers have said in earlier posts that they want the economy to grow smaller, who knows what they really want.

Precisely wilts.
No one knows yet what is going to happen, which is why it is amusing that NNK keeps asking for people to list the benefits of us leaving the EU.

[BillyStubbsTears]

Go on then Selby. Tell us how big the financial markets are in the UK and the EU.

And I find it saddening that people can't.  We were promised so much, no time limit was set, so where is it?

Don't they hound? where is all the good news, why is there only stories about fisherfolk regretting their decision to believe the bullshit, why don't we actually have good news stories about how the financial servivces industry are on the front foot breaking new ground and setting up services to take advantage of the new freedoms. There's no reason to wait to start reaping the benefits, you could help by telling us about some of them.

‘No time limit was set, so where is it?’

I don’t get your point, Not.
If there had been a time limit and it had passed, then it would make sense.

Don't you think that normal life is somewhat suspended at the moment thus hindering any sort of accurate forecasting regarding the benefits of leaving the EU, even if ever so slightly?

Odd post. You've spent years in here saying you don't believe we can forecast the future under any circumstances, and even then ignoring earlier predictions which turned out to be correct.

I've spent years pointing out the predictions of the seriously negative consequences of the Brexit vote to you which braodly turned out to be correct and your response in every single case was to argue that no-one can predict the future and the negative effects were down to Remainers sowing seeds of division instead of getting with the project.

So what have the current circumstances got to do with anything? Surely, either you are guided by predictions from people who have generally got predictions right in the past or you aren't?

Normal life being suspended is probably why coco shoould have sought to delay brexit don't you think?

What, do you mean so that the likes of you could have accused him of U turning on his promise of getting Brexit done?

Exactly BB.
You can just imagine the posts that would have appeared had that happened.

Filo. How’s this for playing the man, not the ball.

Everybody’s at it, Jeff. Unbelievable.

The point is that the leave campaigns and, subsequently, the government didn't say we had to wait to see any benefits, (which is now what the government and leavers say we have to do!).
 
There were supposed to be no downsides, only a considerable upside, (the government's David Davies).
 
https://www.theguardian.com/politics/ng-interactive/2018/mar/28/11-brexit-promises-leavers-quietly-dropped
 
Numerous new trade deals would be ready by 29 March 2019, (the government's Liam Fox)
 
If we vote Leave, we will be able to increase funding to science and still save billions, (Vote Leave)
 
There will be no change to the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic, (the government's Gove, Johnson & Patel)
 
Brexit will give the NHS extra £350 million a week, (Boris Johnson at a seminar in Bristol)

And many many more.  So, where are they?

Trouble is BST, I simply haven't said you can't try to forecast the future. I run a competition doing just that! The rules stipulate though, that you can't make your forecast after the game has finished, because it comes under the hindsight rule, and wouldn't be fair!

Now, just for once, will you answer the question instead of blathering on?

  Billy, it is no surprise to the London banks that Amsterdam has shown a big rise in share trading, seeing as how they have set up small offices there to circumnavigate any problems.
  What might surprise you is that most of the management certainly for one of the largest  British Banks over there is managed daily from a small country village just north of Doncaster and from a house in Chorley  Lancashire.

Have you tried unplugging your country for 20 seconds and then plugging it back again?

How's this for a Brexit benefit..... I got my covid vaccination yesterday.

Absolutely nothing at all to do with Brexit.  However, glad you got it and hope more do as soon as possible.

Could it have anything to do with ‘increased funding to science’ that so many people have been vaccinated?

Why the laughing BB?  Do you not understand how procurement works?  As I said, you getting your vaccination has nothing whatsoever to do with Brexit - what on earth makes you think it does?

  There are some absolutely great millionairs on the Labour benches who would be absolutely fantastic socialists spending other peoples money if they were given the chance.
    It looks a long way off though, so Starmer, Thornberry and Milliband will just have to hope they are still relevant and around if they ever do get back in power.

Because the EU has made a complete b*llocks of the vaccine distribution by its own admission, whereas the UK has been brilliant. I firmly believe that I can be grateful for having received my vaccine very quickly, and doubt I would have been treated so efficiently had we been under EU distribution.

As I said BB, it's clear you don't understand how procurement works.  Each and every member state can buy from whatever country they want, there is no EU restriction. That the majority of member states chose a joint approach under the EU umbrella was entirely at their own discretion - a bad decision IMO as it happens, but a completely free choice, no one made them.  That is why Hungary, for example, chose to purchase the Sputnik vaccine from Russia whilst still being an EU member state. Had we still been a member we would still have had that same free choice.  So you getting your vaccination when you did had nothing whatsoever to do with Brexit.
 
It's a sad fact that many people choose not to take the time to look at how the EU operates and would rather believe the myths lies perpetrated by the right wing media to paint the EU as something evil.  Here's a list of all those myths lies that have been drip fed to people in the UK over twenty odd years complete with the source of those myths lies....

We purchased the vaccines whilst still under EU rules. So try as hard as you may, a good decision from the UK government but hardly a benefit of Brexit.
