Citizens are now learning all the things they will lose by leaving the EU, the unrestricted travel, medical care anywhere they went, the ability for second homes or to live and work in another European country, they really had a great deal. But there will be large job losses in London.



The Sky is falling, The Sky is falling....


Time will tell, not ramblings and angry people that will no longer be able to distribute wealth and place Refugees. As Greedy as people are, no one is going to stop doing business with the UK. To even suggest that is ignorance and absurd, , when you look at the rogue Countries that Businesses flock to, like China, the Middle East. and now Vietnam, and many others.


I think it will benefit the UK, and they can control who comes and goes, and have an identity again, that's their own. We have open Borders, and other come and go as they please, and how has that worked out for us? It hasn't and Americans want it to stop.


Everything you listed that you claim they will lose, has been available to anyone in the World without the EU. You can get Medical Care no matter where you are, if they have it, you can buy a home anywhere in the World if you have the money, and work visas are issued almost anywhere. S what did they lose? What they lost, is the obligation to take in Thousands of Refugees that are creating Havoc for the Citizens. Looks like a "Win" to me.

I wonder how US companies will deal with this. It's been so easy to just base in London due to the shared language and you had full EU access. London is going to lose a lot. Wouldn't it be funny if Scotland broke from the UK, rejoined the EU and replaced London?

I'm not angry, I don't live in the UK and I'm not losing anything. You seem to be in complete denial of what this means. The UK's role in the EU really elevated them. Their banking and financial centers grew dramatically. Leaving the EU means those financial centers will move to an actual EU country. How many announcements do you need to read before you figure it out?

And no, everything they have had as EU members is not the same as everyone else. They could essentially live, work and move throughout Europe and now, British residents will need to decide if they apply for citizenship in the country they have moved to or return home. They could travel to any EU country and receive the same medical as home. They could buy homes etc. as if they were in their own country. What happens to a lot of those benefits now will need to be negotiated but the EU doesn't have to give them anything, why should they?

What happens when eventually the manufacturers leave the country? There won't be any business to do or jobs to be had. May take a couple of years, but big business moves very quickly when it benefits them. US rust belt is certainly a testament to that. Those jobs have been lost forever to foreign competitors.

The World managed to survive with out the EU for a long time, and will do so far into the future. Wait for the aftershocks before you put your bets on the EU as coming out of this unscathed. London was a World Central Banking City before the EU was even born.

Of course this is a big deal in the short term for American businesses, A significant amount of our economy is now service based. If an American company is working on a UK project more often than not it was predicated on a fixed exchange rate. Rarely are they tied to the actual exchange rate. As the pound sinks that effectively becomes a loss for the US company.

Unless you are in the financial market, you know London won't be the leader they were by this

Exactly. I'm guessing my spouse's company will reallocate their UK presence to an EU country as well.

You sound like Nigel Farage. He is so desperately hoping the EU collapses because if it goes on successfully and Britain is reduced to a tiny presence, it will come back on him ferociously. He knows a lot of jobs are going to be lost and it's going to get ugly. So every time a microphone is put in his face, he says "other countries!, EU collapse, yes!"

So you're hope now is the since Britain is going to lose a lot of jobs - a lot - your best hope is the EU collapses? Do you know what that would do to world markets? Or are you just hoping for a global meltdown, reducing us to cavemen like another poster today?

Actually, he's right. For us as Americans, it's meaningless.
