The EU will mostly have to deal with a decreased budget, and member states will have to recruit more staff for customs and tax offices.
The UK will have to recruit and train staff in all the regulatory areas the EU was doing on top of that.
London has not become a major financial hub only because of the EU. It might take a hit from Brexit but I wouldn't call Doom on the City just yet.

Discuss it with your worse half in your head and let me know which one it is :P
But soon after Mr Xi secured a third term, Apple released a new version of the feature in China, limiting its scope. Now Chinese users of iPhones and other Apple devices are restricted to a 10-minute window when receiving files from people who are not listed as a contact. After 10 minutes, users can only receive files from contacts.
Apple did not explain why the update was first introduced in China, but over the years, the tech giant has been criticised for appeasing Beijing.
Yeah, they have. Only nobody gives a shit, because basically "we'll survive" and we're more worried about Britain.
Yes, the irony is strong... But despite popular belief, we don't actually wish the UK crumbles and implodes. Only anarchist bad people like Dribs like that. Replace "bad people" with any colourful language you'd like to apply.

Is anyone watching Question Time? My television is precariously close to having a glass of gin thrown at it.
Panellists are genuinely all muppets. They’re all absolutely awful.
You can't really dust for vomit.
Do you mean PMQ? Or is there another interesting show?
I say interesting... of course PMQ is more amusing than interesting... I stopped watching after May tried to give evidence for the wide range support for her solution and didn't get any further than "fisheries, farmers and employers in Northern Ireland". Wow, yeah.. that's what, 5% of the GDP? Not bad, that is huge support...

Poet: nice vegan, in touch with the kids, brain addled by decades of ganja.
Labour: psycho. Absolute nutter. Would not want to meet her in a dark alley in Barnsley.
Tim Martin: looks and talks like one of my roadies.
Tory: just can’t take seriously. Get behind May. Lol.
Lib Dem: every time she’s in shot I feel her jacket’s about to induce a migraine.
Dimbelby should get some of the audience up on stage.

It’s a BBC topical debate program. Normally worth watching. Tonight’s line-up of talking heads is excruciatingly bad.

Okay, assuming that you genuinely do not understand this and aren't just trying to wind me up, I will use an analogy:
If serial killer in the USA murders 50 people, gets caught and then gets prosecuted, and everyone expects them to get the death penalty, but the judge for whatever reason takes pity on them and gives them a life sentence instead. Then that person has been shown favourable treatment, it wasn't unfavourable just because he didn't get released with a suspended sentence and given the judges house.
The EU have not "eliminated our ability to out compete EU industries" because we never had that to begin with, we are a pissy little island in the north sea which had an empire before WW2 but only have any relevance on the world stage in the 21st century due to being a high ranking member of the EU. If you honestly thought that we were magically going to be more important than the USA or Canada once we left the EU then it's not the negotiation teams fault for letting you down lol.

That's a very bad analogy and still does not explain your original comment. But thanks for trying.
Just to expand a bit on what I have written. You claimed, and I'm paraphrasing here, that Farrage was dumb for believing that the current proposal favours the EU. To which I asked you if you believed that it favoured the UK. Do think that May's proposal favours the EU or the UK?

Yeah, alright. Seriously what is it with this thread and the total inability to respond to what someone writes? Where did I mention anything about being more important than the US or Canada? In fact where did I mention anything about any of that?

Hmm... I'm not sure you understood the point @caervek was making. He attacked Farage for believing the deal was favourable for the EU, because the way this agreement formed up is actually the expected result, considering the obstacles this whole lunacy has to face. The EU is losing one of the top three members. Nothing about this is favourable to the EU. Nothing at all. And unlike the UK, the EU doesn't have any way to actually change what they don't want to happen. This agreement? It's not a consolation price. It is the negotiated amputation of a core piece of the EU, let's be real here.
Oh sure, if your mindset is that it's "us" vs. "them", as Brexiteers usually do, you can start talking about winners and losers, but really, everyone's a loser here.
