    It's ok, Mr Farage has kindly offered to help.
    We will be employing the "insult your counterpart's appearance and then shout increasingly loudly until you are red in the face" style of continental negotiation.
    We won't get what we want, but that's impossible anyway so at least we'll show them we're BRITISH

    Hahahahaha, how naive....anyone holding those try to cash out....I bet it takes you all of 0.00001 seconds.

    And who do you think will be buying them?

    They have specifically stated that they have suspended cashing out at present. Uncertainty is impacting everything from this to boosting the value of gold. It's a natural reaction to uncertain times.

    Is it conceivable that big business could now deliberately chastise the people of the UK for voting to Brexit.

    'Big business' will do what it thinks will be most profitable. In general large corporations don't make decisions based on spite, barring empires controlled by egomaniacs

    Big business will suffer of they do.

    Big business acts like a wally, first up profits decline, shareholders react, the market reacts shares tumble. Next a smaller business steps up and takes a piece of your pie by not acting like said wally.

    Look at Aldi and Lidl taking on the big 4, the 4 probably thought they were untouchable and could do as they please.

    It's almost self regulating controlled by profits.

    Now small and medium businesses and more employee focused maybe. Lots of companies appear to be using brexit as an excuse to slaughter staff.

    They don't like uncertainty and behave in what they think is their own financial interest. We have made a decision that leaves them in limbo for now on various fronts and so a realignment may occur. In the short to medium term I think this will become more evident. In the long term though, as in say after 5 or 6 years who knows. There will be opportunities too I'm sure.. And beyond a point, it's out of our hands anyway so I shouldn't worry too much. 'As you as you have your health' as they say :).

    You don't have to remind me about that, as a 'slave' to the 'big green' corporation, I'm feeling it the most. With the sales decline, they have cut hours, and expect twice as much work, it's killing me, both physically and financially :/

    The 'big green corporation' haven't mentioned Brexit yet, I think there waiting to see what happens, but I totally agree with the fact that sme's will have an uplift. This can only be a good thing, with more of the money staying in the UK.

    This is why I trust this guy more than 99% of western politicians...he doesn't talk like one. And he answers questions instead of trying to bamboozle.

    He can say whatever he likes because he's the biggest mafia boss in the world and he doesn't have to worry about getting elected.

    If our politicians told the truth they wouldn't have a hope of getting back in.

    It's funny....I've asked 3 times if any remainers can explain why they want to live under a totalitarian state, and no one answered. Mention Russia and suddenly the comments start coming.
