I don't know many business looking forward to brexit. Maybe betting shops, loan sharks and alcohol retailers?! :-P
yet profits must be maintained. Result company wide austerity. :-(
If the world is voting against rather than for things all the time, we're in for a very bad time

Quote They voted for DonaldTrump in America, so it's not all against. Well it was against Clinton I grant you Actually, Clinton won more votes than Trump. It was the peculiarities of their electoral college system that got Trump in. If they'd used the same system as our referendum, she'd be in

Those damn Remainers are all so negative, voting against Brexit!
I'm by no means being flippant. I fear the worst.
I'm sure there's a practical point to that argument. Damned if I can figure out what it is though
Not officially..My company are a multi-national. I have seen the forecasted figures for next year (which take into account currency changes and economic contraction).Also there is the consideration that my company manufacture all across Europe and sell all across Europe.. ANY tariffs or logistical delays will have a direct impact.Plus all of my whole industry anticipates a reduction in spend. Conclusion next year will be harder than this year, yet profits must be maintained. Result company wide austerity. :-(
Those who didn't vote KNEW that this was to be their one and only chance to vote on Brexit. They CHOSE to abstain and I believe none of them felt forced NOT to vote.

I do feel sorry for you Brett, speaking as someone who was made redundant at 56 two years ago.The only uncertainty about Brexit is that being peddled by the vocal minority (the constantly complaining Remain voters, as opposed to those Remain voters who have accepted the result of the real People's Vote that we had a while back) who are determined to undermine both the democratic wish of the majority of those who could actually get off their backsides and vote, and the success of our transition out of the EU. Having a united face in front of the EU would undoubtedly strengthen our chances of getting the best deal possible, everything else just strengthens our opponents negotiating position.Those who didn't vote KNEW that this was to be their one and only chance to vote on Brexit. They CHOSE to abstain and I believe none of them felt forced NOT to vote.So, what we have is the minority trying to undermine the democratically determined will of the people in a vote where their decision to partake placed upon them the responsibility to abide by and support the outcome, whether it was in their favour, or not.The vocal minority crying out for a second vote are simply trying to undermine our basic democratic system, just because they wanted the ice cream and didn't get it.Now can we get back to the original thread intention please and hopefully find some help for Bretty.Oh crap .... too much JD.....I'm all confused about which thread I'm on now

The only uncertainty about Brexit is that there is no certainty. Will somebody please tell me what they want
I'll have a go ....I don't want the unelected Junckers and the other unelected commisioners proposing the legislation that eventually ends up becoming law in this country.
Don't talk about me. :-) I'm not after sympathy, just giving you my perspective on Brexit.I was working for a big (french) multinational corporation when the original brexit vote happened. The 20% devaluation of the pound scrubbed £200mil off the value of the UK business overnight . [size=78%] In my team alone, they put 70 jobs at risk and reduced the team to 35, with further cuts to follow! I left.[/size]Now I'm at a big american corporation. They look at the UK as their European headquarters, all senior management speak English and the company is the hub for free trade into and around Europe. Now Brexit means Britain is no longer considered a hub of Europe, they will be stripping the company with the intention of devaluing and selling it.Hence the redundancies.Anyway, that's just my personal perspective, which just happens to be negative. Perhaps some people can tell us how they have been positively affected and cheer us all (well me) up.
