    Who do you guys talk to in your day jobs? Do you talk to lower upper or mid level management? 

    I’m talking to upper/ mid in engineering/ manufacturing / industrial sectors daily and it’s probably about 4/5 pro Brexit. 

    I work for a Japanese company and our big rivals are German, the Japanese don’t care too much and have invested in greater stock holding and logistics post Brexit so we’re less reliant on a European central warehouse to resupply us (as is the current situation) because in fairness our division of the corporation is registered in the U.K. and pays tax and invests & manufactures in the U.K. 

    I assume your corporation doesn't export much to the continent.

    Our German rival doesn’t

    And why would they?

    Quote

    they supply direct from Germany and funnel all profits out of the U.K.

    How are those two claims logically compatible? 

    Quote

    they have a skeleton staff in a U.K. office and a sales network for which they’re paying tax on but that’s it.  Post Brexit they’re potentially fucked at present and that’s a good thing they’re not paying their full tax on their 25% of a 200million market. 

    The only people that seem to keep whining are 

    A) students and ex students who’ve left uni in the last 2 years and are doing some menial unskilled work that they didn’t qualify in to “fund a trip” or “pay off the loan”. They seem to just not understand Brexit and lament islamiphobia despite a Islamic Country  not being part of the EU. 

    Like the IFS, the NHS, the WTO, the IMF, the civil servants, the CEOs of BMW, Jaguar, Land Rover, Siemens, Toyota, Nissan, Hyundai?

    Quote

    B) Civil servants who don’t have a grasp on reality anyway normally. 

    The same civil servants who absolutely have to have 100% control over all British laws and regulations without any influence from the EU, because otherwise the UK wouldn't be a sovereign Nation?

    Quote

    C) Europeans who’s own economies either benefit massively or are utterly dependent on the EU. Don’t have first hand knowledge of Britain or its culture but can speak English and read pro European media so feel educated enough to tell us how to suck eggs. 

    Its not really a market for us, all the sectors I deal in mentioned above are exporting to South America, Africa, India or the Far East & sometimes the states. 

    I deal in start up off shoots of universities in life science etc where they invent an idea and often secure funding (privately) to grow the idea into a fully fledged business. We’re talking in some cases life changing technology such as power generation for rural communities or clinical treatment that can be done from home. Guess where they look to export? Yep not Europe it’s usually 4/5 on the list nowadays. 

    The reality is the world has changed, Brexit was never about Farage and “Muslims” as idiots on both sides wish to portray it. Don’t get me wrong you had an element of “make Britain great again” types but it was more a case on what do we (Britain) want to be? 

    The answer most Brexit voters will give is “free to choose our own path”, it’s a massive opportunity for us long term if we play it right.

    When you used the word "us" you probably meant yourself and a couple of your co-workers, because unlike yours more than a million jobs in manufacturing depend on a direct access to the EU single market and frictionless flow at the borders.

    Quote

    Most Brexit voters accept they’ll be a negative to start to due to uncertainty and a period of finding our feet. 

    How long will this period last?

    Quote

    It really was at its core an argument of are you optimistic about Britain and believe it can thrive on its own or are you pessimistic about Britain and believe its better off part of a Union that’s not acting in the National best interests of Britain but the standard of living is ok so why change. 

    How hard do I need to believe to fix BoJo's hair?

    Look how unhinged and delusional she is. She thinks the EU is going to change their core principles and renegotiate the trade deals with Canada and Japan just so the UK can cherrypick their Brexit unicorn. And she demands a solution from the EU as if they wanted the UK to leave. Is there some kind of air transmissible brain disease going around the country?

    Nonetheless she's still not as bad as JRM, BoJo, Davis, Hannan, Gove and Hunt.

    Jinxed it. Not much to add. Weird tyre strategy by Ferrari but it didn't make a difference in the end. Race was decided on Saturday. Surprised with that petulant move from Perez who is usually pretty solid. Title fight is probably done. 

    They already jinxed it in the qualifying when they tried to get Seb and Kimi through Q1 and Q2 with just one set of tyres and one hotlap at the beginning of Q2.
