You must understand, anything negative that happened in the UK after 23 June 2016 is because of brexit, anything negative that will happen in future will also automatically be brexit's doing.

Anything positive however is only possible because brexit hasn't actually happened yet.

The employment rate follows a good pattern since 2010/2011 according to the graph.

You can hardly credit the tendency to Brexit...

How does it relate to Brexit ?

I don't think it does at all, the graph shows the upturn trend beginning around 7 years ago, long before brexit!
The brexit period is only the very last point on the graph

As a frequent user of Comic Sans, could I ask you to remember to resize the font up a notch or 2, it's really small in the default size.

If you don't mind, thanks...

Not disputing that, I'm rather laughing at how every single corporate relocation plan (whether or not it existed prior to the referendum, doesn't matter) is blamed on Brexit and GBP weakness is blamed on Brexit too (hey, nothing to do with excessive printing the Bank of England is indulging in) even though Brexit has not happened yet.

But let there be just one positive development and credit cannot under any circumstance be given to Brexit.

The vast majority of the current negative "brexit" impacts have as much to do with brexit in reality as a 7 year old employment trend does, it's just pure hypocrisy that pretends one attribution is valid while the other isn't, they're both invalid.

So 9 months have already gone from the 24 months...you'd expect to see a trend of loss of jobs by now, yes? Instead it is heading in the opposite direction to the Treasury estimates!

I don't expect anything.

I'm just saying that, so far, what they planned cannot be ruled out as wrong as the period of time stated is not expired.

:confused:

It's only been a matter of days since Brexit was triggered. You didn't see the news on the 29th of March?

The 2 years only started on that date...

They won't have to move. All negotiations are still open maybe they could come to a reasonable agreement.

Why on earth would the EU agree to having it's agencies operating from outside the EU? That makes no sense...

Outsourcing? Why do many companies have call centres in India?

yeah, I don't know, this isn't anything like a call centre - but I guess if the UK makes it much cheaper to operate from there than it would be to operate in the EU.... There are many other cities in the EU that would be more than happy to have these agencies so the UK will have some tough competition and I'm pretty sure an EU country would be given preference

Then rather put them in India, staff is cheaper than London

What about putting SA's National Treasury and SARS in Indian as well ? (Just following your logic which is that a parastatal agency doesn't have to be on the territory it operates for).
