EU referendum are you in or out

[Absolute_Zero]

Apologies if this is deja vu, but it appears Boris' misadventures in greasy-pole-climbing have deprived us of a Jedi in 10 Downing St.

Starting to hear from friends in the banking industry that jobs are already going. Doesn't bode well, we aren't even out yet!

[gravy]

Yep, a mate close with a lot of high level C++ developers working for a couple of banks said they're moving out of the UK. They drew up contingency plans a while ago and are now acting on them.

Now we have CONTROL OF OUR BORDERS can't we stop people getting out as well as in?

Ah but they be foreigners

the future loss of EU passporting will move a considerable amount of work to French/German financial centres. The bulk of Brexit voters won't care but it will reduce the apending power of the city and those businesses dependent on it

This now makes more sense - across the country where Boris went, 'You want to vote to leave the EU'...

As Ben Kenobi once told us, the force can have a strong effect on the weak minded.

Brexit defenders will say that because these things are happening before Britain left, that it's can't be the fault of Brexit.

No one's going to cry about bankers. Remember 2008.......

The bosses no, but the counter staff can be nice, and they'll be the ones fired, it's always bosses out last in a redundancy.

It's not retail banking being discussed here. Investment bankers don't have counter staff.

Even if investment bankers and other grubby little money men are (a) odious and (b) not paying as much tax as they should they still bring a shitload of money into the economy. That will be missed.

NHS doctors and nurses from EU countries already quitting.
Recruitment in more than one trust severely damaged, at a time when 47% of doctor training places are unfilled.

Brexit made a false promise to fund the NHS, it's done real damage to it already.

Met up with an old colleague who worked on the same ward as me - geriatrics (65+) - who's Polish. He's a fantastic nurse and puts everything he has into the job. Met him walking his dog, got to chatting and I mentioned I'd been left a while. He said he was going back to Poland because of the ill-feeling amongst the staff and patients that was directed at him since the referendum result. Apparently quite a lot of them are making preparations to leave.

To be clear drawing up contingency plans were kicked off when they felt they needed a contingency for the UK voting to brexit.

So you'd have to extremely hard of understanding to claim that.

Obviously not mutually exclusive to how you feel they'd act

Yep, we've ended up in a ludicrous situation where financial services has become a massive component of our GDP and just voted for something that kicks it in the bollocks a bit.

Finally, a well thought out brexit plan: http://thebrexitplan.com/

Yeah, "hard of understanding" kind of defined the position in the first place. Now I'm getting ready for the "it's not Brexit it's the bankers" shifting of blame.
