      Plenty of jobs, as the factories close and high end engineering and investment banking move out of the UK the fruit farms and homes for the elderly will expand.

              Very little for most of those, it is due to globalisation and tax reasons mainly. Some of the others are EU agencies (of course they will move) and others is to have a small office in the EU for logistics and legal reasons.

              Did anyone ever say "we want to leave the EU, but we expect no changes to anything to ever occur" ???

                    How do you know? we have left yet. You have no proof unless of course you have a time machine or crystal ball. In which case can you give me the lottery numbers for tonight.
