Well the EU did have a lot of legislation and laws that benefited its residents and consumers... More so than any British law.... So its not exactly ridiculous what he said

Britain actually spear headed workers rights and many other things long before the EU made legislation on it. IF anything it was the rest of the EU that was far behind Britain in many cases.
 
I've had the Lord debate on the EU on all of today. They are in favour of a second vote and are also against leaving. They are also generally respective of the vote too.

Not in workers rights. Eu has forced loads on the UK that the UK government didnt want. The majority of business owners think the pendelum has swung far to much in favour of the employee and they have too many rights. Look at your leading leaver PM candidate Leadsom

She has stated she want to remove EU red tape for small businesses with 3 employees or less and there will be no minimum wage, maternity leave or minimum holidays.

So guess low paid workers are about to be even more low paid then? Can't wait to live in Victorian Britain again.

But UK never had any influence in EU according to you (Leavers in general).

I will not be surprised if we lose some workers and customer rights we currently enjoy once out of EU.

For someone that promotes pulling together you dont half bang on about remain voters.

I know but every time I suggest we should pull together someone who voted remain posts a comment like yours. We are all doomed, everyone will be unemployed and homeless and no one will be able to go on holiday again.

Now a third one (M&G Investments) has followed suit. Very worrying.

It really isn't terribly worrying - the investment funds are operating exactly as expected and as they have done in the past. Funds invested in tangible, largely illiquid investments only carry so much cash, and when there's no longer sufficient liquid cash to pay for withdrawals then they have to sell those physical assets or wait for sufficient rental income and natural disposals to build receives back up. Both take time.

Nice chart, Montenegro isn't on there though. They use the Euro

Really nice. I thought this one on wikipedia was my favourite but that one is even better. (Although it is clickable through to the various wikipedia pages where it appears in an article which is handy. And it has all the obscure ones.)
