    So Brexit will strengthen the EU’s borders even if it doesn’t strengthen the UK’s. Perhaps.

    @tp why do the Gulf states like Saudi, Kuwait, Bahrain, Abu Dhabi, Dubai and North African states like Morocco, Algeria, Tunisa and Egypt take so few (possibly zero) refugees from Iraq and Syria ?

    EU Parliament / Democracy. Yup they had a vote and talked about “red lines” but the EU Parliament will have absolutely no contact with the UK. All they will do is vote on the deal presented to them by the EU Comission. Isn’t that exactly what Sir Keith, Lib Dems and the SNP have been compaining about so bitterly with regard the UK Government ?

    Jordan
    Saudi
    UAE
    Iraq
    Kuwait
    Egypt
    Algeria
    Quatar
    Libia

    To be fair we have committed a huge amount of aid to refugee camps, second only to the US. The question is whether it is better to keep them closer to home or not? Our government has felt it is.

    Except of course some of the EU parliament are from the UK including your own Dear Leader.

    Not quite. They, very sensibly, were asked what they wanted from the deal and answered. Whereas our own parliament have been told to stay out of it by May and her 3 Brexmigos while being bullied all the while by the rabid Brexy press.

    But hey, it’s been a good week for remain as the Brexies march from faux pas to cockup.

    Life is good.

    Guess the one benefit of brexit is that farage will no longer be able to attend the EU parliament, and won’t be able to embarrass us.. an utter arsehole of a man, what he is still doing there, I’ve no idea..

    I’m not convinced I want to measure our level of humanity against Saudi or some of those others to be fair.

    Dunno, but I’m sure Theresa brought up the subject on her trip to see the Saudis, and they will be changing their ways forthwith, just as soon as they have quit bombing Yemen.

    Seaso Farage is representing the people who elected him. That’s his job until 2019. Them he’ll be drawing his very generous EU pension.

    dont be silly a highly principled brexie like farige would be honour bound to refuse such payments

    @mrmo hopefully the EMA’s 25 year lease in Canary Wharf has an expensive break clause or ideally none at all. Employees at EU institutions like EMA benefit from super low taxes. No loss IMO.

    another roaring success for the brexiters

    the dumbing down of the UK continues apace

    The €322m/year European Medicines Agency (EMA) and its ~900 staff prepare to leave London…

    On what basis @kimbers, as a “highly principled Brexie” he’s contractually bound to receive them and so he will.

    For all the gibes at him here and in Brussels he has almost single handedly delivered the Referendum and Brexit. Phenominal really.

    Staggers me how many European politicians thought we would not actually leave/trigger A50 and how many think we will rejoin. The EU’s (public) responce to Brexit is even more EU integration which even the Remainers said we didn’t want.

    My partner works in pharma and says loss of the EMA is a very serious blow to the UK’s industry, will beyond the immediate loss of 900 (properly paying tax contributing) jobs.

    ****ing Brexie ***** who can’t add 2+2. Makes me effing angry. Sit tight in your poxie little ghettos as the walls go up around you and your kids opportunities are blighted (at least, the ones you’ve bothered to educate – mostly you haven’t have you?), idiots.

    Sorry must have got out of the wrong side of bed this morning! Hello all!

    Thanks to igm for the optimism, really helps.

    We didn’t I think, but if forced to choose between that and walled into Wangland with the quitters in charge – which seems to be the alternative – I’d go for the integration and FOM any day.

    its OK because jambs and his hero farige got the oldies out to vote and theyve all shafted the young remain voters and they now have fakecontrol of their smaller, weaker, less influential Britain, phenomenal, indeed.

    Jamba knows that this is all starting to collapse just like the forecasts said. But just like housing booms or dotcom booms you can’t say anything or it’ll just come crashing down around your ears.
    The boy ain’t daft.

    Me? I want a swift collapse that gives us time to say “us? Leaving? No, must have the wrong country” before we’re committed to the carnage.

    Remember the boiled frogs and burning platforms beloved of 90s management training courses?

    I think that brilliantly sums up the ignorance of Brexiters

    Completely ignores the loss of reputation for the UK science and pharma industries.
    More than that it will harm our own access to new medicines, the Ema has worked closely with the NHS regarding pricing and access for drugs.

    Now all these functions will have to be performed by our own Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency which will be forced to expand to cover them demand, however with the loss of the unified European market regulations will take longer to approve, 6 months to a year longer in similar countries like Canada, suspension etc, ,(turns out testing new drugs is complicated stuff) we are ,3% of global drug sales rEU is 22% so obviously mrha we will be a lower priority for them.

    Good news for the EU country that manages to secure it though, jambs may find it hard to believe but plenty of countries are vying to have all those tax dodging lawyers, scientists, medics and experts contributing to their country

    Kimbers – does that mean people will wait longer for new drugs perhaps? Some folk might even have to travel abroad or in extremis die while waiting for drug approval?

    Well it’ll help control the population like the Brexies want I suppose.

    Not good I agree.

    Until any open-skies agreement is reached we’ll see more of these stories as it’s simple listed company risk evaluation and statement.

    But, leave it too late (post this time next year) and you’ll find concrete plans will be made based on what each business believes is the likelihood of whatever plan they think may be in place.

    And this should apply to ANY listed business, not just airlines, otherwise they (could) have shareholder (legal) issues.

    b r – it’s not just likelihood but risk management. They’ll have to plan for the worst even if they expect the best.

    ^^ yes agreed. It’s management’s job to plan for different scenarios. It’s their job to let shareholders know they are making such plans
