Spangly A posted:for fucks sake how do you believe that stupid poo poo? it's a larger economy than america, the imbalance is enormous, and against the UK's favour. The City of London loving leaves london if it doesn't get a replacement for it's current passporting schemes. It goes to Paris. The City needs a tax haven inside the EU, and The City, the financial institutions, are not remotely under the control of the British state. They can, and likely will, leave. It probably won't really. Some banking functions will be moved, but financial centres are sticky and comprised of people that are quite happy where they are. The back office stuff that mostly doesn't happen in central London is much more at risk. There's a lot of markets that operate out of London that EU members states will continue to need unrestricted access to. The City is one area where the UK has a lot more negotiating leverage than most others.

I used to share a flat with two doctors and they constantly had me stealing pens for them from my work because there were none available in hospitals, so I think questions need to be asked about where these £200m worth of pens are going.

On a purely cynical level I don't really get what Labour have to gain by supporting Article 50. If Brexit turns out not to be a complete disaster, there's a reasonable exit deal and the economy is fairly on track then 2020 will be a complete Tory, 400 seat wipeout no matter what Labour do. If it's the catastrophe anyone with a brain expects it to be, then surely you want to be on record opposing it as much as possible.
