In one of the local Indian takeaways right now.

Zero tables occupied in the restaurant.

Me: "Very quiet tonight."

Asian owner: "Yes, all the restaurants in the street are the same. It's because of the vote. Everyone is worried about their jobs."

Are we basing this debate on the delusional opinion of an Indian takeaway owner?

If we are, I'll add my bit. Just fetching the Mrs a pizza and the guy there is as busy as hell. Says euro referendum has had no effect on trade.

You seriously think people in UK are not going out because of EU vote?

Not me. Just passing on an unprompted statement from someone who claims that their business is affected.

If it's Star of Asia, that place was always dead until late, and the Akash on Albert road was always quiet until Joannas kicked out

People can't stretch to an indian takeaway if they lose their jobs?  Can imagine the car dealership being hit but think a £10 indian won't break the bank come what may.  Unless you are fibbing the restaurant owner is looking for excuses for poor business.

That's the good thing about this referendum, whatever happens, either way we can blame all our problems on the result of it.

Sir James Dyson backs Leave campaign: http://polho.me/1ZFWDvk

[doubleup]

Dyson talks nonsense

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/men/thinking-man/sir-james-dyson-so-if-we-leave-the-eu-no-one-will-trade-with-us/

If, as David Cameron suggested, they imposed a tariff of 10 per cent on us, we will do the same in return. We buy more from Europe than they buy from us, so we would be the net beneficiary and based on these numbers it would bring £10bn into the UK annually.

Yeah right why don't we increase vat to 50% and then we would be the richest country in the world.  The purchaser pays the tariff in the form of higher prices.  (And don't say the producer will absorb it as if they could get a 10% higher price for their goods, they would be charging that now.)

The problem with the EU’s free movement of people is that it doesn’t bring Dyson the brilliant boffins he needs. “We’re not allowed to employ them, unless they’re from the EU. At the moment, if we want to hire a foreign engineer, it takes four and a half months to go through the Home Office procedure. It’s crazy.”

I don't think that is anything to do with the EU, he should take it up with Theresa May.


His views on Brussels have been shaped by bitter experience. Dyson sits on several European committees. “And we’ve never once during 25 years ever got any clause or measure that we wanted into a European directive. Never once have we been able to block the slightest thing.”

Hell hath no fury like an inventor scorned

He says the much-trumpeted single market isn’t really a single market at all. “They have different languages which, for an exporter, means that everything from the box to the instruction manual has to be in a different language. The plugs are different. The laws are different. It’s not a single market.

And how will this change when we leave the EU?
