The Telegraph UK--now do you believe she is coming here?

Can you actually bring yourself to use the words 'INDIAN' origin British business people. What is your problem with that?

Wales gets around £500 million a year in funding for businesses, infrastructure and other projects. Every year. The north-east and south-west of England also receive large amounts of funding from the EU. Yet all 3 regions were pretty much majority Leave areas.

What has the EU done for us? Plenty, but anytime the positives were mentioned on here, Leavers ignored it, or called it propaganda. Even the BBC was claimed to be biased because the EU gave it an amount equal to 0.03% of the entire BBC annual budget over a 3yr period for research into future transmission systems.

If I take $100 from you and give you $80 back how much have I given you?

re: Post EU Referendum
 

As far as I am concernd they are British businessmen , I have dealt with many in my life and I doubt that they would be pleased to be segregated in the way you do,
So you do not know where British labled products are manufactured, I suggest you check the labels when you are back in the UK.
We were in H&M , and where are their clothes made , not in the UK, some from India.

If it is as simple as you say why hasthis government not confirmed that it will continue with the payments received from the EU, the 350million to the NHS etc etc as promised by the Brexit campaign.
Using your logic we will be flush with money.

I've drunk Nescafe coffee in 3 different countries, and each has tasted very differently. Much of the taste comes down to the water quality.

$80, with the rest going to help the family down the road who is in poverty.

That's alright then.

If Bermudashorts can't think of it then the rest of us are reassured. :thumbsup:

Unlike the majority my fellow countrymen I no longer have any financial interests in Spain whilst many of them still own their 2nd and 3rd homes there.

That was the agreement under which Spain joined the Common Market and has never honoured ?

The Treaty of Utecht particularly article 10

Gibraltar was captured in 1704 by a force led by Admiral Sir George Rooke representing the Grand Alliance on behalf of the Archduke Charles, pretender to the Spanish Throne. After the battle, almost all the original inhabitants decided to leave to the surrounding areas of Campo de Gibraltar.[8] The territory was eventually ceded to the Kingdom of Great Britain by Spain in the 1713 Treaty of Utrecht as part of the settlement of the War of the Spanish Succession. In that treaty, Spain ceded to Great Britain "the full and entire propriety of the town and castle of Gibraltar, together with the port, fortifications, and forts thereunto belonging ... for ever, without any exception or impediment whatsoever."

Further more there is a paragraph that states that should Britain no longer want Gibraltar Spain gets the first chance to take it over, It is that paragraph that Spain keeps banging on about 300+ years on.

However Gibraltarians are happy to be British but would prefer independence which Spain objects to citing the previous paragraph and ignoring democracy and the will of the people.

Also it would be amusing to look at the treaty under modern law because this is what Spain bases her arguments on. I think certain parts would raise eyebrows:-

And Her Britannic Majesty, at the request of the Catholic King, does consent and agree, that no leave shall be given under any pretence whatsoever, either to Jews or Moors, to reside or have their dwellings in the said town of Gibraltar; and that no refuge or shelter shall be allowed to any Moorish ships of war in the harbour of the said town, whereby the communication between Spain and Ceuta may be obstructed, or the coasts of Spain be infested by the excursions of the Moors.

If Gibraltar were independent you would still be in the EU.

re: Post EU Referendum
 

And I think you'll agree that Spain will be as obstructive even after they can legally impose border controls post-Brexit.

Very informative Fred. Thank you very much for posting it.

The owner of the CCD chain has his own coffee plantation, it is all freshly ground coffee that is served.

re: Post EU Referendum
 

Do you read any of the links or ignore them because they concern a non-EU country.
It is not segregation they obviously have a particular knowledge and interest in their country of origin. Family relationships etc. So therefore interested in trade there.
I presume expats/migrants on BE here claim a particular knowledge of the UK, don't they? You seem to?

re: Post EU Referendum
 

You still despite numerous efforts to explain fail to understand, my priority is what benefits the UK, increases UK employment, the wealth and prospects for the population of the UK.
My priority is not what benefits anyone else we trade with.
Business is simply about being the one who succeeds over the competition.
If British businessmen of what ever origin benefit from a trade deal whoever it is with,6 thats fine by me.
If all that happens is we end up importimg more ,sacrificing UK jobs then that is not a good deal for the UK.
