Still, it's alright though...we have "taken back control" and 40% of the UK population are happy to sacrifice trade with the UK for less immigrants in the UK. What a horribly backward situation.

So the company reputedly offering"one of the most secure" jobs gives your mates son the heave-ho more than two years before it needs to, and without even giving him the opportunity to relocate to Germany to service all those German clients.
Why does it need to work years in advance for this kind of thing? Which company was it? It doesn't sound like a very secure company to me. Oh please tell us, superior one...

Thats the real world not politics.
In the new world of brexit little if anything will change.
Consumer protection, health and safety and a multitude of other regs will stay on the books.
The UK government will continue to add new ones.

The only trolls on here are those who cannot understand what a forum is and even more have never understood what TIO is for.
You should go back to the latest reincarnation of your Gib forum, how many posts do you get a month ( not including yours ) 2, 3 or am I overestimating.

Guess who are standing in the election for the late murdered Jo Cox parliamentary seat.

When you think that UK politics has reached a low point who comes out of the gutter.
Lib dems, Tories and Ukip not standing.

Giving simple facts is 'condescending in your world Paulry?
Questioning the important strategic decisions made by a multi million pound Insurance business is within your 'remit' and expertise is it?
Do Tell .. we are all agog.. what exactly IS your experience of the difficulties the business world in the UK now faces.? Apart from talking through your A*** that is

de Pfeffel's latest wheeze...
https://www.theguardian.com/politics...avusoglu-kurds
Hope that's all crystal clear to everyone, especially the Turks and the remaining 27 members of the EU. I do wonder what Maytron's going to say when he gets back home though - especially if between now and then he pledges to let Turks in to the UK in return for trade. Is anyone offering odds for him to be out by Christmas?
The British foreign secretary, Boris Johnson, a former arch critic of the current Turkish leadership, sought to mend battered fences in a series of high level meetings on Tuesday, culminating in a pledge to be one of the strongest supporters of the country’s bid to become a member of the European Union.
...
He said his Turkish hosts had not brought up the controversy caused by a lewd poem he composed in which he referred to the Turkish president, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, as a wanker, and described the issue as trivia.
...
Johnson tried to keep the focus on his belief that the UK was not leaving Europe, but only the EU. He said he believed Britain could sign “a jumbo-sized trade deal” with Turkey outside the EU.
...
It was Johnson’s first visit to Turkey since the EU referendum, when he repeatedly raised the threat of Turkish migrants flooding into the UK if Britain remained a member of the EU.
In an earlier guise Johnson had been an enthusiastic supporter of Turkey’s EU membership, so his call for the union to welcome Ankara is a reversion to his previous stance. His influence over his EU partners in persuading them of the merits of Turkey’s membership may be limited, given that the UK is leaving the union as a result of the campaign he helped to lead.

"Police suspect a far-right motive after two improvised explosive devices detonated outside a mosque and congress centre in Dresden just before and after 10pm on Monday.
No one was injured during the two attacks in the eastern German city, but the mosque’s 46-year-old imam, his wife and their two children were inside the building when the first bomb went off.
Imam Hamza Turan told Sächsische Zeitung newspaper that six bottles filled with explosive gas had been found at the site of the attack. “They attacked us because they hate us, because we are Muslims”, Turan’s 10-year-old son told the local paper.
The second improvised device exploded on a terrace facing the river Elbe, between the International Congress Centre and the Maritim hotel. The hotel bar was evacuated as a result.
Horst Kretzschmar, the president of Dresden’s police force, said that even though no group had claimed responsibility it was assuming a “xenophobic motive” behind the attack."
