and say this was the day we were liberated, I can see it now in 10 years time, another bank holiday named Freedom Day.
The day the apostrophe was raped and murdered.

I’m looking forward to the film ‘Brexitheart’, to be directed by and starring Mel Gibson as Nigel Farage, where Prime Minister Farage single handedly fights his way back through Europe to Blighty after he is kidnapped and enslaved by other MEPs at the European Parliament.

It’ll have more fact than Braveheart I would suspect.
today is already a bit special as I’ve had two shits and it’s only 9.30am. This could be a record and anus breaking day.

Are they marching to De Gaulles and General Pattons opinion of the maginot line and fixed fortifications?
You didn’t phone into LBC earlier did you Barry?
Liberated? Freed from enemy occupation? I never even noticed that we had been occupied. Sneaky Europeans. Even you are not delusional enough to believe that.
Bank holiday? Like a modern VE day? You think the tories will give something to the working class without taking more away first. Maybe you are that delusional?
How badly are they going to fuck this up, would seem a more appropriate thread title.

The day I’ll look back on with fond memories is the day @barry-sanchez produces a coherent and appropriate thread title.
I have medical advice not to hold my breath until this happens.
As far as Article 50 goes, it seems like the hardest parts of it all involve Europe. For that reason, I’m glad we’re leaving, although I’d have just not bothered.
Article 50 is leaving on their terms. There is arguably no need to. Treaty obligations don’t usually require this amount of negotiating. Countries just announce they’re no longer observing the treaty.
I’ve always thought if Germany gives it large and they’ll be the biggest arseholes in this then we just walk on to WTO and trade seperately with different nations? I think all 27 other nations shuld be given the vote on in/out, what are they afraid of?
Come on, somebody bite, Barry’s bored…

Perhaps I should have started a thread along the lines of “Is this the day I look back and think, what the fuck have we done?”
Hope I’m wrong, but I’ll retain the cynicism for a while longer.
Hopefully Barry can come back in 2 years and say “I told you so…”

So on this most auspicious of days Lloyds of London announce it will be moving its European business out of London to guess where?..mainland Europe.
Most other large financial firms have plans to do similar. Dublin being a particular favourite because of the language.
Good news Barry?
Thin end of the wedge?

How did the shit count end up?
Maybe, many business relocate for tax purposes, finding the right staff in those locations is difficult, my wife is always offered jobs in Geneva and Dublin, expensive and boring, traffic awful as well.
Invest in sterling as well, undervalued and will go up, uncertainty in Europe with elections will play havoc with the Euro.
How are lloyds going to attact the cream to Brussels or Luxembourg?
