Siemens – The German firm’s boss has warned time is running out to secure a Brexit deal.

Goldman Sachs – The firm is set to at least double its Frankfurt office to 400 staff through a mix of relocations and local hires, though other EU sites will also be expanded.

So in other words companies that were so "certain" that Brexit wouldn't lead to the UK crashing out of the EU they failed entirely to plan ahead for any other option and now are scrambling at the last fucking minutes to deal with Brexit actually happening. Two years to plan ahead, two years for your own politicians to work out other trade options based on leaving and moving to WTO trade rules... And they did *nothing* because they were absolutely certain their globalist policies would win out... so now they want to cry about not getting their way.

Two fucking years to mitigate the pain... nada, no foresight, no planning. The "experts" :lol:

I keep being confused as to why you think that matters, or should matter, to anyone, least of all your own countrymen? If people value national sovereignty over the profits foreign bankers and business owners make for and to themselves, why should they give a toss about the potential loss of profit of the latter? :think:
Fame is not flattery. Respect is not agreement.

If a multinational corporation chooses to put its operation in your country it's usually not because they want to "contribute".

Theresa May travels to Brussels in WW2 fighter plane ... or so BBC gaffe suggests – video

The BBC has blamed “human error” for a suggestion on its News at Six that Theresa May would be flying back to Brussels for more Brexit talks in a second world war Spitfire.

But the explanation has been greeted with scepticism by some who saw the incident as an example of pro-Brexit bias at the corporation.

At the end of Wednesday’s evening programme viewers were shown black and white footage of the iconic planes as newsreader Sophie Raworth summarised the prime minister’s plan to reopen Brexit talks with EU leaders.

Beautiful aircraft.
The twin seaters not so much.
The noise they make is the most beautiful thing.
You can get a 20-minute flight in the Grace Spitfire for about £15OO.

The flights at Duxford are longer but a lot more expensive (£2750), they let you have some stick time though.

Or you can go for a two day training package if you have a PPL.
Flight Training : 1 hour 20 : Tiger moth (2x 40min lessons)
1 hour 20 : T6 Harvard (2x 40min lessons)
40 mins : Mk 9 Spitfire

Two Day Course Cost £7495

The two-seaters look perfectly good to me, dude.

I am an F-15E guy, though. I am used to the WSO position being there.
