        Switzerland is a prime example of a country that wants nothing to do with Brussels and I believe is doing very very nicely.

          Thank God we are out of the European union. I would rather stew grass for the next five year's than spend another penny topping up some guy's pension who I didn't even elect. Wake up people the EUROPEAN UNION is a sinking ship. Look at all the emerging markets around the world and then look at Europe on the brink of collapse...Italy Spain France Ireland the list goes on and on.

            Techguy, 07 Jul 2016apple next hahaha !!!!!Ok first CFO statement
            Price already set
            Most likely it will priced in US $ and not £ GBP
            This price rise is due to the weaken £

            Secondly the price increases will remain in place even when £ Gbp recovers

            You can be sure that the CFO will be on some performance related salary that wil increase his salary, at expense of those on the bottom tier

            Even when making a loss some salary hike

            These stocks are already in the UK, currency fluctuation have always existed, so blaming BREXIT is a spurious attempt for a price hike

We left EU because of money, not because of Britain First's racism campaigns or UKIP's faggetry. I'm more annoyed at the x amount of ratbags on JSA saying foreigners are stealing jobs that they never applied for anyway.
                The most important thing we could possibly do right now, is have our debt to IMF paid off. Paying off the IMF is the true path to getting our country back.

                    The most important thing is immigration control. Having unlimited immigration from Europe is causing incredible pressure on jobs, public services and housing.

We don't have to pay the EU 2 billion per year anymore, just for the luxury of bailing out other countries. Remember UK was one of the rich countries in EU, therefore we lost out from membership. Poorer countries need the EU, we don't.
                      SO nice to know everyone outside the UK is swallowing up the lies they are being told through the media. We don't care, the only thing we need is a slice of the electronics trade from China :)

There are special interest groups on both side of the spectrum. Not sure why you have a hard on just for Soros and Clinton when Putin, Xi, and Kim, to name a few, are even worse. Get to know the real world and not the bits and pieces that make you feel better or superior.

                            Britain’s economy has picked up pace despite doom-laden warnings over the prospect of Brexit.

                            Figures yesterday showed the recovery is in far better shape than feared with industry clocking up its fastest rate of growth for six years.

                            Industrial production rose by 1.9 per cent in the three months to May, according to the Office for National Statistics – the strongest performance since the three months to May 2010.

                            And in a sign that Britain can prosper outside the EU, an Indian business leader described a trade agreement with the UK as a deal ‘almost made in heaven’

                              American people (as most western people) are completely brainwashed by the media propaganda. In the western world, the corporations and bankers control the politicians, the media and the mind of the sheeple (western people). Those people support Clinton (Clinton is the same like Obama, Bush, ...) who is just another puppet, anarchist, misandrist (man-hater) and controlled by lobbyists like George Soros.

                              It is good for the UK that they want to leave the crap EU. (Everyone should do the same. )UK will take back it's sovereignty, freedom and independency. The EU is like the Soviet Union. EU (and the collaborator politicians) occupied the european nations, destroyed their economies (to make them vulnerable and dependent on the EU and the corporations, to get more slaves who work for lower wages) and sovereignty. The EU is led by american lobbyists, corporations, bankers, rogues like George Soros. Staying in the EU is their interest. Leaving the EU is the ordinary people's interest.

                                Relax everyone. Nobody is going anywhere. I live in the UK and voted Brexit, the sooner we get out of the useless EU the better. China is already keen to start trade talks with the UK given the slackers at the EU haven't managed to do this for the last 10 years. Same with the US and India and Australia. HSBC threatened to leave and then changed their mind. Same with Barclays. We buy more from the EU than they do from us so they need the UK more than we need them. Business as usual and Lenovo are not about to exit the UK market.

As a fellow Brit, comments on things like this really piss me off. Like the Bozo saying it's practically game over for the UK. Bo***cks!! We are a strong economy, the pound will stabilise. I for one didn't vote for Brexit, I voted to remain, but I trust that the Government will do whatever is best for the country (although with the current Conservative Government this is debatable!)
