Google are investing £1bn in their UK operations and there has been a surprise fall in the UK inflation rate.

So not World War Three, plagues of locusts, coup and insurrection then........

Google is to open a new headquarters building in London which could see 3,000 new jobs created by 2020.

Isn't this just apart of the sweetheart deal Osbourne struck (was mugged of by) in the corporation tax row, where by on the other hand the French insisted outright they want the full whack, 10 times what Gideon negotiated.

The google office was announced months ago and has been trotted out as "news" about a dozen times since. A more cynical man would suspect the quitters are desperate for a positive storyConfused

so why would the bbc highlight this 18 mins ago?  Obviously they seem to think 'old news' is important.

I guess porky doesn't like any chance of success.

Well, after approx 3 seconds I found this. I presume google itself must be anti-british or french to backdate this article to June.





Maybe the beeb are reporting it, because the govt spin doctors are touting it as an important news story and they've picked it up. Je ne sais pas.

You're right.

There was an article about Google's new head office announced on 20th June - three days before the Referendum, which makes it a pretty ringing endorsement of what Google thought of this country, Brexit or no Brexit.

fully agreed.

Just a shame they've had it on repeat for months since. You'd think there'd be any number of genuine new ringing endorsements they could use instead.

Hang on a minute right wingers, you are celebrating the fact London is getting more jobs, most of which will go to educated immigrants?

Brexit voters see this as good news? Brexit was an anti-London, anti-immigrant vote.

Get you ideals sorted, mugs.

Well this is news:

akabula says that Brexit is not a mandate for controlling immigration. I think he has a lot of work to do, spreading this message. Here's one on your side, aka, Bongo Laugh

So in your mind UB anti immigration and controlling immigration are the same thing?
I thought you were far more intelligent than that.

Two meaningless slogans, but the Government act on the principle that less immigration is "the will of the people." Because of Brexit.

If Mark Zuckerberg wants to live here, I'm sure Theresa May's Government will find a way. But a Polish cleaner won't. So the test will be whether a couple of million able but unskilled EU workers can be seamlessly replaced by Britain's finest unemployed. How do you think that is going to go?
By:
akabula
When: 16 Nov 16 22:08
Why do they need replacing?
May has already stated she'll be looking for agreement on EU national living here and UK nationals abroad.

Why would they want to live here with the UK out of the EU? Brexit is a clear message to them: we don't want you here.

The UK was an attractive country to come too before the EU, if we ever leave the EU it will be just as attractive but most probably even more attractive to people that love the history and the culture.

God to be told why I voted the way I did - thanks.

Why do the Remainers lump all the Brexiteers together when ascribing reasons for voting out?

I would imagine that there were a number of reasons for voting out that differed for Brexiteers.


My main reason (by far) was because the EU is corrupt and I want (and my country) to be no part of it.  Even the auditors say that controls over spending is poor (every, every year).

I wonder when Remainers say Brexiteers are thick, who really is thick - and why they say it.

Still waiting for the very first Forum Remain-supporting individual to come forward to tell us he/she is quitting the UK to go and live in a EU country, to preserve all the perceived benefits of living within that system. So many forumites in the frame, all surely eager to depart the Hated UK and the horrible "uneducated old white people" they despise. Who will it be?

Which country will it be ?  They have no excuse not to go. Everything in the EU is set up for the migrant, as Britain has seen only too clearly via the millions who have come here to live. The Freedom of Movement is, after all, the EU Dream. The new country will surely be glad to have the incoming forumite. Here's their perfect chance to be just like the migrants the adore. If of course they have the courage of their convictions, and the spine to try it. (That's a bit of a tall order I suspect).

Bon Voyage anyway. I suspect you won't be missed.
