Ford Transit - Turkey anybody?

1) Turkey is not in the EU
2) The govt did not act to make it more likely the jobs would migrate
3) The govt does not have to act in a way to make the banks move now

1 and 2 are facts.

You could have an opinion on 3, or maybe not

1. No but whilst still members of the EU, not for much long though, they actively supported & assisted jobs being transferred not only out of the UK but to a non-EU member country......fancy that.

2. Govt can't assist UK jobs coz it illegal under EU rules....see Steel, for another example.

3. Banks won't move but may set up EU branches.....if they were going to move they would have done so already (bankers not on most peoples highly regarded lists anyway)

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".

You. just have been asked many times already perhaps, I may be wrong but I assume that you are employed in the finance industry? Or you are an importer of some discription?

So jobs moving to EU - this is fine with you?

Do you have an opinion or are you just one of the sheep who can't play the ball.

Simply asking an innocent question as politely as is possible, you seem to be a fragile kind judging by your response. Are you telling me that your job is going to upsticks to mainland europe within the eu zone?
Do you want to hear of my opinion , on what?

Shame you have such little faith in your own country and it's rich history of achievements going back long before the existence of EU and will continue long after it has collapsed in it's entirety....sweet dreams little fella - big day tomorrow.

We have, by enforcement of EU rules and extremely low wages in the eastern states, been losing jobs for years to Europe with no control over it.

Sorry slasher, it wasn't a question it was a statement. I'd expected some reply (if there is one that could be given).

[davepoth]

I just thought of a great reason to love the EU:

In two years' time it will be a nice place to go on holiday.

Ah! so as long as the bit of business `you' are involved in, that might gain a benefit by being in the EU is alright, there is `no problem' with many other UK jobs and businesses either being destroyed, or being moved to the EU (And with the added sting of using the money the UK has paid into the EU`s coffers to do it) Such as the UK`s fishing industry, or Ford plant at Southampton?
You have to do what is best for the UK as a whole, not just the little bit that effects you, which is why you must support Brexit totally, and not be a lackey for the EU monster.

Can you send me a link to your protest posts from 1997 when banking jobs were moving elsewhere from the UK please...I know that was probably Brexit related too, but would be good to know you're fully clued up on the ins and outs of the finance sector and where it locates its people.

No, I don't want to see a net drain in jobs which currently looks most likely under hard brexit.

Interesting you assume I'm only worried about my own job.

Since you have never made any mention of the EU`s destruction of the UK fishing industry, and the economic, and social decline of many of the UK's coastal communities that supported it, and the movement by the EU of manufacturing jobs out of the UK, and into the EU, (using money from EU coffers of which the UK is the second largest net contributor) so essentially they are using the money we pay into the EU to destroy or damage UK industries), it is easy to believe that you only care about `your' own job, and not the UK as a whole.

Hogwash

The decline in fishing was needed to manage fish stocks - some argue over the detail/implementation but that was the main driver. UK still has the lions quota in our seas.

Blaming the EU for our own overfishing just makes it look like you have swallowed some alternative facts.
