So when you turned 18 you just jumped in the first car you saw and went driving down the road?

Try wake up and realise that in the grownup parts of the forum there are extra rules you need to follow.

You managed to break 2 in one post...

It works perfectly for 99.99% of the web, it's just the 0.01% like here, for some reason the cursor gets drunk and can't stand still for mybb every now and then.

It's also only on my iPad Pro, not my phone...
 
Who needs companies anyway?

A third of European firms to cut investment because of Brexit: UBS survey
JUN 26, 2018 09:57 PM
[LONDON] One in three European firms plans to cut investment spending as a result of Brexit and more than one-tenth of those with operations in Britain expects to pull out of the country entirely, according to a survey by Swiss bank UBS.

Half of the companies do not expect Britain leaving the European Union to change their investment plans, the survey of 600 eurozone firms, published on Tuesday, showed.
But the number of companies suggesting they will make cuts within the next six to 12 months and citing Brexit as the reason rose for the first time in two years, to 34 per cent.

Labour is fast becoming the new party of business – and Brexiteers have done all the hard work for them

The Independent

Whenever a group of business people chew the fat, the chances are they will turn to the “what’s worse?” question – a Corbyn government or Brexit? Until recently, many feared the most left-wing government in British history more than Brexit. But now some are having second thoughts: the UK will leave the EU in nine months and yet, remarkably, there is still no government blueprint about its future relationship with the bloc.

“Some people are starting to say the lack of leadership is so woeful that Labour couldn’t be any worse,” one business figure told me. Companies are already voting with their feet, and moving investment out of the UK. In the motor industry, investment in the first six months of this year has almost halved since the same period last year. There might well be a last-minute deal on a customs union with the EU, but business needs certainty and to plan ahead. Its duties to shareholders and customers may mean preparing for the worst.

The country is already paying a price for Brexit and Theresa May’s procrastination. She should have seen it coming.

Frosty relations between frustrated business leaders and the government went into deep freeze this week after Brexiteer ministers attacked companies like Airbus, car firms and groups like the CBI for demanding more clarity on Brexit. Boris Johnson pointedly refused to deny that his response was “f*** business”. Other Brexiteers inevitably called the lobbying “Project Fear Mark 2”, a tired old line they trot out every time anyone dares to say anything about the consequences of leaving the EU.

Eurosceptics portray “foreign-owned” firms as doing the EU’s bidding in the negotiations, when Brexit means we need their investment more than ever. Foreign investment projects dropped by nine per cent in the year ending in March.

Thankfully Greg Clark, the business secretary, has finally gone public in a belated attempt to calm the industry’s nerves. He is sometimes too mild-mannered for his own good, although he does fight his corner in cabinet. In a dig at the Brexiteers yesterday, he contrasted the “actual experience” of employers who trade with Europe and the rest of the world with “a theoretical exercise in which you take decisions over the lives of people in imagined worlds.” Ouch.

Clark also called openly for a soft Brexit, including sticking close to the EU single market in services as well as goods. Some inside government hope the timely warnings from business will help May win the argument for close customs and regulatory links with the EU when the cabinet tries to agree a long overdue Brexit plan at Chequers in eight days. No doubt that will only reinforce suspicions among Eurosceptics that the business criticism is all part of a conspiracy to dilute Brexit. Yet the fears are real. Business people have been tearing their hair out for many months; the ticking clock has now persuaded them to go public.

Theresa May reported to advertising watchdog for claiming 'Brexit dividend' will pay for NHS funding

Deputy Labour leader Tom Watson has demanded the ASA take action over the claim, which he said was “at best misleading and at worst a complete myth”

Theresa May has been reported to the Advertising Standards Authority for claiming her NHS funding pledge would be partly paid for with a “Brexit dividend”.

Deputy Labour leader Tom Watson has demanded the ASA take action over the claim, which he said was “at best misleading and at worst a complete myth”.

The Prime Minister insisted the NHS will receive an additional £20 billion a year in real terms funding by 2024, meaning a weekly increase of £384 million in real terms, and £600 million a week in cash terms compared with now.

And a graphic published by the Number 10 Twitter account proudly announces (in large, bold letters) that it will be paid for by the “BREXIT DIVIDEND.”

In non-bold letters, it adds: “with us as a country contributing a bit more.”

Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) director Paul Johnson says the dividend doesn't exist.

In his letter to the ASA, Mr Watson noted government advertising is regulated by the Advertising Codes, according to Politics Home.

It'll be this week that we see whether the Tories survive or implode: https://www.theguardian.com/comment...a-may-tory-brexit-rebels-norway-model-cabinet

Either way, entertaining.
 
I saw the front page of the Daily Mail yesterday was all about them backing a plan to support a campaign to reduce Business rates, following the news that 50 000 jobs in retail have been lost in the UK.

I wonder what campaign they will launch when Airbus, all the various financial and Insurance companies, Land Rover and Jaguar and other companies leave the UK because of Brexit and leave all those employees jobless?
