Thread: My, but there's some hysterical crap out there today.

  1. #1

    My, but there's some hysterical crap out there today.

    Polly Toynbee in particular seems to think we're headed for some sort of Mad Max-type scenario. The Comments section of The Guardian are full of people hoping that Leavers 'drown in their own shît' (not sure whether they mean this figuratively or actually), while, AC Grayling - in the manner of some die-hard Japanese soldier in the jungle in 1960 - has declared the triggering of Article 50 to be 'irrelevant' and pledged that Brexit will be stopped.

    There's some tremendous fun to be had on social media today.

    Bit worried for my sister who works for JPMorgan in their front office clearing EURs. If passporting isn't allowed to continue then she's going to have to move her family to Lux/Frankfurt

    Will the investment banking industry be the hardest hit of all?

    My comment describing La Toynbee's rant as 'hysterical' is an hour old and yet to be modded. Surely such blatant sexism cannot be allowed to stand?

    Short answer.... nobody knows... lots of posturing but I feel that very few Banks/Jobs will move to mainland Europe

    She's S.African, so bar work or Pret's is the obvious choice

    Plenty of work available in East Anglia soon. The healthy, outdoor type. Get her out of that stuffy office and into a field pulling up cabbages. Do her the world of good.

    I wish they would hurry up and do something though.
