Just watched sky news and they have said that this week so far 9500 jobs have been lost. Interesting this is not small companies but larger ones. The likes of Heinz etc....
don't worry, they'll all soon find government jobs as lesbian equality advisers for some tiny local govt. department or something I'm sure.
Soon Britain's only export will be government bureaucracy services. Maybe they could just have all their citizens administrate the EU or something.

From the Empire where the Sun never sets and its exported government bureaucracies to the EU where the light of day never shines on the bureaucratic nonsense.Soon Britain's only export will be government bureaucracy services.
Well at least if the Brits takeover the services we will see a lot more Cricket and Rugby being played in the EU. And a side bonus for the US would be a larger proportion of friendly nations to them.
It would be funny if it wasn't so sadly true.
Well...
