    I hope Airbus leaves. They are just a parasitic company that is subsidized by the EU. I would rather not have my taxes wasted on these clowns.

    Denial is more than just a river in Egypt apparently.

    Not denying anything. What on Earth are you talking about?

    Strange that you never respond to posts such as this...perhaps you are the one in denial?

    "and, until recently, immigration"

    You do realize that pretty much everything this article lists as a positive is what the Brexiters are destroying, right? Dude, your country's burning down around you and your playing the fiddle!

    Um, no. From Forbes:

    "We gauged the Best Countries for Business by rating nations on 15 different factors, including property rights, innovation, taxes, technology, corruption, freedom (personal, trade and monetary), red tape and investor protection. Other metrics included were workforce, infrastructure, market size, quality of life and risk. Each category was equally weighted."

    Which, if any, of these metrics are Brexiteers destroying? If anything, the opposite is correct, each of those will be enhanced!

    Maybe you didn't see THE VERY FIRST SENTENCE OF MY FRIGGING POST! Like I said, willful blindness. BTW, if you don't grasp that workforce, market size, trade freedom and risk have and will be completely tanked by Brexit you're completely delusional. The rest, well it's certainly unclear to any but the most rabid how Brexit will help property rights, innovation, maybe taxes if you take a simplistic fixed pie approach, technology, corruption, investor protection, infrastructure, or quality of life (unless by quality of life you mean that you don't have to lay eyes on those dirty foreigners). I'll give you red tape, but that's not much to hang your hat on.

    Well, Forbes and the Heritage Foundation disagree with you. Perhaps they are off the scale 'rabid'.

    "The Heritage Foundation touts the benefits of Brexit for the U.K. in its annual “Index of Economic Freedom,” which is part of our scoring. “The process of exiting the European Union will afford the government opportunities to correct any remaining structural deficiencies that might be holding back an already high-performing economy,” per the report. “The U.K. has one of the world’s most efficient business and investment environments and will soon be open to expanded global trade relationships.”

    Does that mean their road construction will go faster? Be more efficient? Teehee.
