Thought I'd start a new thread as this is going to be a major talking point this year...have not made up my mind yet...(unlike bucksfizz)....but thinking of voting for an exit as Europe is not doing Britain any good at all it seems....

Martini.

You must have been at the brewery party.
=-=-=-

Still, in the EU, the con party consigned to the compost heap and the tax man with the next labour party looking for pickings.

Watch out the men in white coats are looking for you.

PS..

Is this what the Brexiters were promising.

FRANKFURT (Reuters) - More than 45 financial institutions are planning to newly establish themselves or significantly increase their presence in Germany as a result of Britain’s planned exit from the European Union, a German official said on Tuesday.

The figure was announced by Felix Hufeld, the president of Germany’s financial markets watchdog BaFin. It marks the most up-to-date and authoritative indication of Brexit’s impact on Germany’s financial landscape.

Among banks that announced plans to relocate some of their EU operations to Frankfurt are Citigroup (C.N), JPMorgan Chase (JPM.N), Morgan Stanley (MS.N), and Standard Chartered [STANB.UL].

In August, Hufeld said that Germany was processing more than 25 banking licences.

Hufeld also called on Tuesday for greater coordination in Europe in the fight against money laundering.

“For me, money laundering preventing is an absolutely urgent task,” Hufeld said. “A better coordination in Europe is necessary.”

Martini do try and grow up if you can.

Dear Martin,

Theresa May's Brexit deal has just been defeated.

The government is in chaos. The country is in crisis. This can't go on.

The country needs an election. That's why tonight I tabled a vote of no confidence in Theresa May and her hopeless government.

But the Tories are getting ready too. Right now their millionaire donors will be reaching for their cheque books.

We're relying on people like you to help fight and win.

Without your help the Tories will buy their way to victory. Will you help stop them?

Yes, I'll chip in £1
Yes, I'll chip in £3
Yes, I'll chip in £8

An election is coming, and your support will help to win it. Please, donate now.

Thank you.

Jeremy Corbyn
Leader of the Labour Party

Money well spent. I’m in for a Euro

Lol , not just the EU skint then.

Dil I am reaching for my check book as we speak.

Tusk already trying to get the UK to stay, as being what they were working towards all along.

Time to give him and them a big kick up the backside and boot them into touch.

Martini, Dil,

Why don't you jump in after her.

All this talk about Brexit - I'm still waiting for Dilbert to post his sheepsh@gging photos from yesterday!

:o)

Can we have a sweepstake on how long Article 50 gets extended for at the first extension?

I'm up for 31st December 2019 if you're happy to keep the tab, Dil.

That could be interesting coming after the European Parliament elections.

The EU27 will have already started carving up the UK's allocation of seats, George. Angie will just need to tell them that the UK's money is the bigger picture.

They'll huff, and they'll puff, but they'll get over it.

It's not just in the UK though, there is mass discontent throughout Europe. There could well be a huge change in the make-up of the EU Parliament.

Is your graph compiled by the Guardian in conjunction with the BBC?

There isn't mass discontent within Europe - certainly not discontent with the EU, and the EU is going from strength to strength.

Stories of an EU collapse is an urban myth being peddled by the right-wing British press.

When I was a child, I was often told by my father "to look down the road before I walked it".

I think that applies to so-called "Brexit".

Extension of Article 50 for at least 3months after the next election, which I guess will be a wipeout for the tories.

This will allow time to prepare for a New Informed Referendum IN or OUT.

This tory cabal can't be trusted and they don't trust the "people" to examine their own futures.

T.May has raised her own arrogance of that of her party to a delusional level.

If she thinks she is right about her fitness to govern, put it to the people in a general election.

She seems to me to be a coward hiding behind a cloak of arrogance and superiority.

George old fruit you seem to be out on a limb down there in Cornwall, have you considered moving to somewhere else?

Ignore Stan, and stay where you are, George. We certainly don't need you in Europe!

george - that there'll be no brexit (or whatever) by 29/3 is a racing certainty, so CNG's graph is probably correct

If the UK extension of article 50 lasts beond the the EU elections - will the British be voting for their own members?
