Re: The pound in my pocket
Yeah, that's precisely why Britain is so dependent on foreign investment. You know, the investments they make in Britain... so they have access to the world's largest economy? The one we just voted to leave?
Wake up. Read the article. It illustrates this in very realistic terms.
I have others, if you're interested.

Re: The pound in my pocket
Pulaski you are right when you say that the majority weren´t thinking about business affairs when they voted,which is why our home country will soon be up the creek.Any country`s prosperity depends on how much businesses put into the economy.Not how much in welfare entitlements are going to so-called "lazy" migrants.

How many "lazy" migrants would equate those billions siphoned off by "Sir" Philip Green and his pals?

Re: The pound in my pocket
I certainly "thought about business", I know quite a lot about it thank you, and I have no reason to doubt that many other Brexiteers also considered it, but I, and others, made a judgement that leaving the EU was in the best interests of Britain. I did so after considering all the arguments put forward, and not blindly.
The Common Market was a great idea, and it's unlikely I would have voted to leave that, and for me it was nothing to do with immigrants either, but "ever closer political union", er, no thanks!

Re: The pound in my pocket
i think the Uk is just divided in many ways. It's a shame people can't get on with one another. Wales wants to leave the UK and EU, Scotland keeps talking about leaving the UK. Not sure about NI. Nobody wants to help the less privileged.
I think Yorkshire should vote for independence.

Re: The pound in my pocket
Despite being a partisan myself, that would be daft, and I said exactly that in one of the Scottish independence threads before the referendum.
As it happens, the population of all parts of Yorkshire is almost exactly the same as the population of Scotland, but Yorkshire has no better claim to be able to operate as a modern nation state than Scotland does.

Re: The pound in my pocket
the YIP wants to offer free Yorkshire puddings to old age pensioners. Personally I think they should be given to school kids with free milk
I am not sure about "Make Yorkshire dialect compulsory learning in schools."
