    It's the age old tug of war and bait switch. Tried and true. Please come here and if you do we won't tax you, then when you do come here we see how much fucking money you make and we want to tax you.

    There is a fair does of global envy at the outrageous productivity of Apple, Amazon, Google, Adobe etc. Lyft and Uber...

    Silicon Valley is in the house, and everyone wants a piece.

    Brexit will have soon cost the UK more than all its payments to the EU over the past 47 years put together


    Brexit is likely to have cost the UK more than £200 billion in lost economic growth by the end of this year — a figure that almost eclipses the total amount the UK has paid toward the European Union budget over the past 47 years.

    The UK economy will outpace the struggling eurozone in the first two years after Brexit, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has predicted.

    Britain also outpaced the monetary union in 2019, giving it three straight years of faster growth, according to the IMF's latest forecasts.

    The EU is terrified that the UK will turn into the Singapore of Europe, which is why it's so desperate to shackle us post-Brexit.

    If Europe was divided, London could become the Singapore of Europe, but the UK is too big. So what would the rest of the UK become?

    Singapore has done well because East Asia and South Asia has historically been so divided. It can act as a business hub to bridge that division. As China gains power, Singapore is left in the dust.

    The EU already has a unified Europe, so yes they will lock out the UK. That means no Singapore of Europe, even for just London.
