Economy is going fine ...

It's a bit naughty to only post that bit since there was a much more significant bounce in the next month. Try again.

What can possibly go wrong leaving the EU with our economy growth based off consumer spending???

I also cannot wait for the manufacturing to expand - except we have major electricity infrastructure issues (see JLR concerns for new UK plant).

I'm also excited at the CoL expanding and banks like Goldmans not expanding in Europe....

Look, bottom line is, leaving the EU is causing major structural reverberations to our economy. to say it isn't is plain head in the sand.

EU is far far far from perfect but we are leaving just as their growth appears to be kicking in from reports i saw last week - unless someone knows differently.

I only hope their growth drags us along but we have to get an economy based off something more than buying cheap crap from B&M and Poundland.

Nicely cropped data set missing out the last 7 months.

In the following 8 months the data changes quite a bit. Look here: http://www.tradingeconomics.com/united-kingdom/ser...

All of those are issues inside or outside of the EU. Goldmans moving isn't really a major shock or issue.

Nah, neither are all the other banks/brokers (especially) Lloyds of London setting up from London either.

They aren't moving everything. What's extremely telling about (as far as I can tell) all of the bank announcements is that they're moving the absolute bare minimum amount of staff and work to the EU to meet the worst case scenario of no MFID II on Brexit day. London isn't a sinking ship.

That they are moving anything is a tragedy.

Brexit is a shambles.

Did vote leave admit "banks will move" - did they forget to print that on the bus?

Staggering how some shrug it off as "nothing to see".

The bus that should have said "a unknown number of banking jobs may move to the EU if you vote leave, as leaving will threaten their ability to continue working as now".

Still, its not like it makes up a big chunk of our GDP.

Cue wails about how none of it matters. Any migration matters - its a risk of more to come and a potential shift.

May move you say? What about locusts - did it say we will be plagued with them?

You sure it's not this bus you are thinking of?

Sorry - can't allow you to say that - no-one in remain actually used the plague of locusts - it surprised me to be honest because they threw pretty much everything at the population and didn't use the locusts!!!

Made me laugh

No whenever they mention a big red bus - it's this Big red bus I think

It's been threatened (banks moving) pre the referendum, straight after, and again recently.

It's a game of magical movements/ pass the parcel and a dash of cry wolf thrown in.

and............................no-ones gone anywhere.

The bus versus
Vs
Interest rate would go up significantly (Osborne)
Mortgage rates would go up significantly, putting peoples homes at risk (Osborne)
Emergency budget,leading to increases in taxes and a cut in public services (Osborne)
Imminent recession (IMF/Cameron/Osborne, others)
All sorts of financial armageddon (Multiple naysayers on the remain side)

All were predicted/stated would happen immediately following a vote to leave.

Now which side told the biggest lies?
How many people would have voted Leave were it not for the multiple lies spewed by remain?

None because

1 - The lies weren't down the side of a big red bus.......
2 - We haven't left yet
3 - The leave lies were worse
4 - we haven't left yet

And did I forget we haven't left yet biggrin

1.) Business relocate resources all the time. A few bankers is not unusual pre/post brexit and hardly the exodus you predicted.

2.) In your opinion, which you are entitled to, even if it is wrong.

3.) The banks already threatened it, they aren't following through. However with the Scottish vote they made much more of a move to relocate.

4.) Everything that has happened could and probably would have happened had we voted remain. In fact, if we voted remain I guarantee there would have been a bigger move to Frankfurt.

The fact the banks are not moving en masse is a huge indicator as to just how uncertain they feel with the EU, otherwise, they would already have made the moves.

I get to make millions from my CU EU car stickers.

Need to put a raised middle finger in the middle.
