Talbot NO I do not have the answer, I never wanted to leave anyway.
I am asking the Leave supporters how they propose to address the results of their action.




You don't have the answer because you never wanted to leave?
Not sure how that absolves you from at least trying to answer your own Q.
If in the position of the eu I would look to bring eu agencies etc under eu control and that might also include location.

However to move it just for a show of strength is childish and petty. We know the eu like to waste money moving parliament every two weeks so moving these organisations is small fry to them.

If the city keeps its head they will likely not loose in the medium term. Short term, how knows? It might be tumultuous for a while but They will just have to work a bit harder to achieve what seems an easy/closed market for them at the moment.

emmie, same as happens to staff anywhere who don't want to relocate. They should have been thinking about this (and probably have been) since the referendum.
It is time that the Bremainers accepted the fact that we are leaving the EU and stopped griping at every bit of Brexit news
not sure what "jewels" we are losing. So the EU want to move some EU functions to..... errr the EU! Not exactly a revelation is it?
Why would anyone want to leave London to live in Frankfurt, have you been there?
so they would have no choice to relocate or find another job.
I've been to Frankfurt. Nice city. Especially the old part.
"1,000 highly paid jobs" I don't know how many are employed in the medicine agency but the EBA employs 160; "The roughly 160-person European Banking Authority has been headquartered in London since it was founded in 2011".

^^ If they are offered jobs then they have a choice move or lose your job. But many of them may not even be offered jobs as the new host nation will have plenty of it's own people eager to fill them. Why go to the additional expense of relocating UK citizens to do jobs when there are 100s of your own people desperate to take them?
'Seems petty in the light of Brexit'.
emmie, the two organisations mentioned are part of the EU, they can not be situated outside the EU.
EDDIE; // they can not be situated outside the EU.//

The way things are going within many of the the member states, those options may be narrowing.
//You don't have the answer because you never wanted to leave? //

The Remoaners have no answers, but like to have answers from the Brexiters to have something to gnaw on. Tell em nowt and that goes for the UE pyramid scheme officials as well. :))

If we were staying in the EU there would not be any of the problems that leaving entails.
As we are leaving (against my will) I am asking what the 'Leave' supporters suggest to overcome the difficulties. So far the response has been limited to denying that any problem exists.
// If we were staying in the EU there would not be any of the problems that leaving entails. \\

Honestly, you couldn't make that one up. Worthy of a headline in the Guardian or the Observer.
//So far the response has been limited to denying that any problem exists. //

Wrong Edddie, we know we face hostility and deliberate obfuscation accompanied by malice. But we will quietly negate all the obstacles without triumphalism if allowed to get on with it. Unfortunately we are, on a daily basis, confronted with the incessant whinging, public hand wringing, and doom mongering of the Remoaners and their masters in the EUSSR who still don't get it. But you will, you will.
Nothing wrong with the odd bit of triumphalism here and there.
Job losses are never good whatever the reason, I hope those that don't relocate get new positions elsewhere.
There are bound to be some jobs lost through Brexit. Speaking as someone who wanted to remain, I accept that, and accept that the idea is that they will be compensated by creating more in other areas. It is far too soon to judge if that will be the case, but we must give it chance.

On the other hand, bemoaning every loss and cheering every gain will give some folk something to do.
"I am still waiting for any 'Pro Brexit' AB member to come up with sensible,practical and workable suggestions as to how the problems of leaving the EU can be met."

Well I am still waiting for any 'Anti Brexit' AB member to suggest why sensible, practical and workable suggestions as to to address the problems of leaving the EU should not be found.

It's not been done before and so there is no rule book, no precedencies. Nobody who voted to leave and who thought about it believed it would be straightforward. The UK’s institutions have become severely infested with the pernicious influences of the EU over more than 40 years. Untangling that was bound to be like being rid of a serious disease. It is quite obvious that any EU institutions that are located in the UK and staffed by UK people will have to be relocated. But you seem, Eddie, to be suggesting that because these difficulties will undoubtedly arise, that we shouldn’t leave. You should remember what President John F Kennedy said when he committed the USA to the Apollo moon programme:

"We choose to go to the Moon! We choose to go to the Moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard; because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one we intend to win."

You don’t decline to do things that you need to do just because they are difficult. You choose to do them knowing there will be difficulties but in the knowledge that overcoming those difficulties will produce such a valuable result. Despite it being against your will the country has chosen to leave and Parliament has provided the enabling legislation for us to do so. So it’s no use bleating "we're all doomed" every time you read something like this in the Grauniad.
NJ, are they the same words you wrote when supporting our venture to join the EU?
