Other than Tim Martin, who has no choice about where his pubs are, is there a single big business Brexit booster who hasn't quit the UK?

When the UK were part of the EU Galileo system they obviously had worked on it and had a lot of data and resources to it. These were handed over to the EU over the last year or so. Now the UK will have to rent back the systems it owned originally from the EU. BREXIT

I remember being like 'it's a stupid bollocks bailout to one of Tory mates that is going to be quietly shutdown in a few years', while some people were all 'actually this could be quite an exciting thing for domestic British aerospace industry, which we have a ton of". Turns out I was wrong, it's definitely not been couple years yet.

With the country racking up colossal amounts of debt that even cutting services and raising middle class taxes couldn't pay for, it wouldn't surprise me if the rich are seeing the writing on the wall and getting out before the tories begrudgingly raise taxes on them (now that I think about it, what they're actually going to do is just let the debt pile up, blame the pandemic, and let the next Labour government deal with)

You have a 0.0000096% chance of being maliciously killed while working as a police officer, slightly less than a 1/10,000,000 chance, in a given year.
