Not spotted this one on the Brexcuse thread from this morning;

"HSBC chief executive Stuart Gulliver also raised the fallout of the UK's vote to leave the European Union: "There has been a period of volatility and uncertainty which is likely to continue for some time."
Have you ever been to Canary Wharf? Have you seen how international the workforce is there? Are you not aware of the paralysis caused by uncertainty about people's futures.http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-36961287

The problems in the banking sector are well known. Brexit is just fanning the flames.
Well it will take 4 years to decide the accuracy of that or not. As North puts it "It's becoming clearer by the day that the remainers are not prepared to let go. They've not accepted the result of the referendum and are working consistently to overturn it. "

The Independent seems to be the ///ajd of the news world. It pops up in my Google news feed from time to time and seems incessantly negative about anything to do with Brexit or blaming anything possible on it.I'm sure if I could be bothered to dig I'd find an agenda there somewhere but I can't be faffed.

Since team GB received no funding from the EU (Can anyone really believe the EU would give the UK millions of Euros to help UK sportsmen and women, beat their own EU sportsmen and women in Olympic contests) Why would Brexit have to have an effect on the Tokyo Olympics?This would seem to be yet another lie/Brexcuse put out by the remoaners.
the shameful thing was to try to conflate teams GB`s success in Rio as a triumph for the EU. Still what can one expect from remoaners. If the EU was so good, why didn't other EU countries do as well as team GB?

Clear nonsense. 2nd is our best rank since the games were held in London, in 1908 when we won them.
We now have more golds than France and Germany combined.
It's quite clear that this is a direct result of the Brexit vote reinvigorating our national confidence and affirming our place as a world class country, not one that needs to cower behind the protective walls of a declining and stagnant European Union.

Russia not mainly in the Olympics! Small island get's more medals shocker!
Not true, the majority of Olympic sports federations did not ban Russian competitors. The Athletics team, where we picked up few medals and would have beaten the Russians anyway in the sports we medalled, were the main area where they were banned.

The whole brexit = olympic success is nonsense.
We funded it well via national lottery = success.
We chucked £30m at the bikes. I really enjoyed it but thats a lot of dosh.
I think the article is getting at the issue that the olympic team are partly funded by nat lottery and part by taxpayers via dept of media sports etc.
I can't find numbers on quick google but think total is £450m with £350m from lottery. So £100m is from tax?
If so the indie is saying the £100m could be in doubt.
£350m lottery is alot for one olympics.
Personally I have no problem with it but would rather some of this cash goes to stop our last SRN-4 being chopped up. Once thats gone, its gone. Looks like it's saved for another 3 years but at least 1 deserves saving as much as all the aircraft we save - how many concordes are we preserving?

£350m isn't a lot, we give that to the EU every week We funded it well via national lottery = success.

It really doesn't surprise me that you still believe that.Do you know 9 others who also believe it?
I knew you would bite.Relax, I was joking.
People like ///ajd will always find reasons to moan. If it was £100 million and not £350 million we gave to sport via lottery and taxes he would just say we should have spent £25 million of that on something else. He just cant help himself being a negative, miserable sod.
Life is too short to be so negative every single day ///ajd.
