After Brexit, More Than 100 Firms May Move To Ireland (mirror.co.uk)

An anonymous reader quotes The Daily Mirror: Ireland has said it has received more than 100 inquiries from major firms looking to move from the UK because of Brexit. Martin Shanahan, the chief executive of the Industrial Development Agency, said the bulk of the interest came from banks and financial institutions based in the City of London. He told the Guardian newspaper that Dublin was looking to capitalize on Brexit by wooing firms with its low corporation tax rate and status as the only English speaking country in the EU after the UK leaves the trading bloc... A recent report by accountants PwC said up to 100,000 jobs in the UK financial services sector could be lost if the UK cannot strike a deal on passporting.
The New York Times also reports on the European Medicines Agency -- which oversees approval of drugs across Europe (like America's FDA) from London. The agency believes that relocating to a different country could mean losing up to half its employees, which would majorly impact the licensing and monitoring of prescription drugs for the entire European Union.

That attitude is exactly what is wrong with the elites the world over. Stop calling names and try to educate yourself a little about the state that the world is in and what the other side is thinking. (Hint: they are neither idiots nor ill informed by and large, that is just the propaganda BS the progressives have been shoveling to help people like you sleep at night instead of having a real introspective moment).

Technically, Trump is isn't part of the Far Right Wingnuts, he's merely using those rubes. End result is the same though.

The end result being... that he defeated a race baiting, war mongering, corrupt liar who exposes national security secrets to the Russians?
