Osbourne has only 'vowed' to slash corporate tax.. needs to have a tiny word with Mark Carney first methinks.. He's the only thing standing between the UK and financial disaster right now. |

Bipat. NZ citizens can come to Australia and live and work here indefinitely provided they have a special visa. So no we don't have freedom of movement. People must still meet all the visa requirements.
Fred we have taught our children (as most parents do) about real life. I'm still at a loss to understand if the referendum was not about globalisation, or immigration was it really about making the UK a powerhouse again and gaining back control of what??? It is impossible to have freedom of movement and controlled immigration at the same time. |

The legal challenge follows an article by three academics stating that 'The government would be violating Parliamentary Sovereignty if it activated Article 50 on it's own,because it would render redundant rights established by the European Communities act of 1972. In the UK constitution,Parliament gets to make this decision..not the Prime Minister. It gets more and more interesting doesn't it. |
re: Post EU Referendum
That's a rather odd reaction to "We really ought to make sure this is done according to the constitution".
Do you have some objection to adherence to the country's most fundamental laws? Or a worry that if they're followed, you might have to wait to see what a Brexit looks like? |

I suspect this has more to do with the sharp drop in planned business investment, an attempt to keep businesses from leaving, and a general assurance that Britain is "still open for business". |

Well, I've always said that Britain's best shot in a post-brexit world would be to move closer to a "tax haven". It seems Osborne agrees.

Of course if tax revenue drops as a result what follows ?. Cuts in services , increases in personal tax or vat. |

I assume they did and that the answer to your original question is therefore "Yes". |

They need us more than we need them. Up to 750,000 jobs on the line in Germany alone,if they don't reach an agreement, which is why Merkel has told Junckers to keep his stupid mouth shut and get on with the job in a civilised manner. |

Our currency has tanked, credit ratng slashed. If we are in the driving seat, its facing the wrong way. |
