His competence as a spokesman is entirely compatible and commensurate with his ex-employers' as a would be PM. Great recruiting skills, there.

Gah, that article annoyed me, especially given polling results suggesting it was a factor. Most people aren't single issue voters anyway.

And this whole thing about "x% of remainers respect the outcome" is a sly trick that's starting to grate. I respect the outcome, just as I respect the outcome of the general election or when Parliament passes a crap bill. Doesn't mean I have to agree with it, cease trying to change people's minds, or overturn it.

Post subject:  Re: Taking the Brexit

The problem as far as I can see is that even if say 70% came round to the idea that Brexit is just a terrible idea and wanted the outcome of the referendum overturned the outcry from the other 30% would be more divisive than whatever expensive fudge they eventually do come up with. And it would never, ever go away. The UKIP types would become an even louder and uglier voice than they already are, believing themselves to have had their victory stolen. I just can't see any way back from it.

I'm looking forward to being repeatedly told that the eventual deal is all the fault of Brussels and the EU, rather than, say poor planning on the part of the government.

Post subject:  Re: Taking the Brexit

To some extent, but not entirely. There's still a sizeable number of leave voters who will still be alive even after we're in the ground. Also it would be difficult to predict how public opinion would go if a huge section of the population were more or less dedicating their lives to blaming every bad thing that happens on our continued membership of the EU.

Put it this way, if we were leaving the EU as a result of a referendum do-over then I think I'd probably be even more fucking livid about it than I am now. So imagine every leave-voting tosser with that kind of fire in their belly. The only way we can ever get back to where we were is in twenty years or so.

I'm in Copenhangan for a couple of days for work, last night in the taxi from the aiport the driver pointed out a new shiny tower block

He then went to say the that Denamrk is trying to get "Drs" from the UK into the building and are offering 20 years free rent.

I think he meant that its some sort of EU medical\pharma\research type organsation that we currenly have in the UK as being part of the EU.

We are just going to loose some many of these sorts of things as we move forward with leaving :(

Not aware of one thing we get thats worth having from leaving so far

I can't see how a British Medicines Agency would have much scope to deviate from the positions of the European one, given that Big Pharma would no doubt want to sell the same products in as many markets as possible. The same applies to other regulatory agencies. But hey, loss of influence and knock-on jobs in the sector, but we've taken back control. And the NHS will get all that money. Yay.

In theory EMA move out just at the same time as our lease is up for renewal and their office is nicer and cheaper and better located for me than our current one.

In time I may have discovered one personal benefit from Brexit.

I can honestly say that I've even thought about the colour of my passport until Brexit made it a thing.

Then I thought about it for a couple of seconds and went back to not caring.

That would certainly save them in relocation costs or redundancy payments.
