Really, singing we are the champions badly isn't gloating?

You should have said I'd have given you a lift, I didn't go into the square but was lurking about on the other side of the river, didn't look like many thousands to me leaving, looked like about the attendance of one of the low quality league clubs on match day.

There were 1,100,000 financial services jobs in the UK, 3.1% of all job (46 times as many jobs as fishing), and the financial services sector contributed £132 billion to the UK economy (94 times the contribution of fishing), and was 6.9% of total economic output.
Pretty sure Financial Services will take priority over Fishing...

To put that even more into perspective Harrods turns over more cash and employs more people than the entire fishing industry put together, not bad for a corner shop

We need the EU to thrive as most of our trade is with them. This isn't WW3 no matter how much some would love it to be (we'd lose btw, atm its Rest of the World Vs Little England)

That's always seemed the daftest thing about all this to me, we're now negotiating to get a deal as close to the one we had a few days ago, the ramifications could be felt in Scunthorpe sadly with the deal to save British steel now in jeopardy, apparently....
