exDubai - So as a result of Britain deciding to leave the EU, easyJet will set up another European operation in a country that is not a member of the EU? I don't see the logic.
I also can not imagine us being hit with hefty EU tariffs. We have traded with Europe for centuries (give or take the odd war) as we have with rest of the world. It is in our interests as it is with Europe's to trade with the minimum of fuss. Open markets, well documented standards and clear legal systems are essential and that is what I signed up to in 1975. And that is what we can still achieve with our European friends and neighbours. And they want the same. But until yesterday, we did not have the right to say "No!" Now we can and we can also do the same with the rest of the world.
Will we lose jobs as a result of this outcome? Bloody hell yes. For a start our lovely bankers will have to take their casino/gambling operations to Frankurt (with the inherent risks of such undertakings) and the downsized City might eventually become an asset to our country. But short term, nothing will happen. The big rocks from the explosion will fall back to earth over the next few days and the dust will settle for a few months. Then we'll see what's left and set about working towards a prosperous future with our friends and neighbours.
