I can' remember the last time Brexit was brought up by a colleague.
At this point, I've no idea what you are trying to say. I can understand why you might not care to discuss the political or economic implications of Brexit though.0 -
Entirely depends on your job. It gets mentioned a couple times a week in my job (has totally changed the structure of European sales coverage in asset management fwiw)TheBigBean said:It's mostly the self-help thread for the hardcore now.

I'm willing to bet Brexit will still be getting headlines in 12 months.The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.

People still discuss the rights and wrongs of Thatcher. I expect it to be similar for Brexit for GB.pblakeney said:

Companies were sitting on record amounts of cash following the Brexit vote. The expectation was that when a deal was done, this cash would be invested. Clearly, Covid has had impact on the levels of cash, so it is not clear where the money has gone - perhaps it has helped some businesses survive. This is harder to see on a graph that ignores a pandemic.rick_chasey said:0 -
Can you explain why it is realistic to extrapolate a pattern from 2008 to 2016 and assume this continues forever. By the logic of this chart investment would curve up forever beyond 2022. How would this be achievable in a relatively mature western economy?rick_chasey said:0 -
If you can’t see the wood for the trees I can’t help you.
Something happens in 2016 which throws investment way off and it has not recovered since.0 -
When we instigate actual policies that save the planet your world is going to be turned upside down when you look at these charts. What did the chart look like in the ten years prior?rick_chasey said:If you can’t see the wood for the trees I can’t help you.

Main point is that Maggie is not in the headlines, Brexit will still be for some time.The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.

If 'censored' turned into a swear word, how would the BR swear filter cope?0 -

I suspect you can work out why certain people are focused on the trees. Or saying that even the trees aren't worth looking at.0 -

Bad news for the Telegraph: the fish wars are off (for now). They seem to be in favour of quoting the EU now, given that it recognises that French posturing was an impediment to progress. Who knew that the EU could perform such a useful function?French posturing made reaching deal earlier more difficult:
European officials had hoped for an earlier deal, but conceded French posturing over fishing rights had made the task more difficult. “If they’d just left it to the experts, we’d have been closer to a deal by now,” an EU source told the Telegraph.
Government sources said they had gone to "great lengths" to help French vessels prove their historical fishing activity, including purchasing commercial positioning data. The process of issuing licences had been based on "evidence rather than deadlines", they added, with talks set to continue over future permits.
The Government has also reached a separate deal with Norway and the EU over how to divide fish stocks in the North Sea next year.

Most people aren't posting in here any more because they're bored with it. This has been a whinge fest for a long time time now. As mentioned before, the thread title is very apt"I spent most of my money on birds, booze and fast cars: the rest of it I just squandered." [George Best]0 -
i'm not posting as the outcome is clear
brexit has damaged the uk and left it with a government of liars and traitors, only traitors or utter idiots would dispute that, no point wasting time on them

Ironically it's the UK Gov /Brexiteers who aren't happy with what was agreed and have spent all year whingeing about it.
Worth noting were only a couple of weeks away from further checks on imports to the UK.
I wonder are we ready.

Brexit is done. If it helps the more compartmentalising tendencies of some posters, think of this thread as a discussion of our ongoing relationship with the EU, which changes again on 1st Jan.0

I'm happy to along with our ongoing relationship with the EU being shit.
