So many particulars. So many questions.
ironically phil rudd was charged with hiring a hitman in 2014. The puns were good that day.

Nice joke, but the story isn't so simple and the move isn't quite decided yet
Unilever relocation plan rejected by major shareholder
The reason given for the resistance to moving may be relevant to the general panic that many multi-nationals will 'abandon Britain' post Brexit

I'm counting on it as I'm opening a dozen of my saloons next April with slatted swing doors and card games and player pianos

I wouldn't do that if I were you, pardner. I'm also fixin' to open up a dozen high class saloon bars, and this here post-Brexit wasteland ain't big enough for the both of us.

Whether or not it's unimaginable, the idea that the UK regime will suddenly turn into the wild west after the civilizing hand of the EU is removed is nonsensical panic based on nothing.
I hope Pickman's model isn't putting all his post-Brexit investment eggs in the wild west basket...

I don't want to step on anyone's toes in what sounds like it will be a very competitive hospitality industry, so I guess I'll stick to shooting people and stealing cows.

I can’t remember anyone here - or elsewhere for that matter - saying they were voting remain because of what happened to Greece.
One could level an accusation that they are, because of that, callously indifferent, but nonetheless the Greece justification is not one they’ve ever laid claim to.

I've yet to see anyone explain how the UK leaving the EU helps Greece.

Not a Girly Swot, but I like them....
I think there's a reasonable argument to be made that reducing the EU's total economic clout by around 1/7th, halving its number of UNSC P5 seats, and reducing its military expeditionary capability by about 35% could hardly be described is an insignificant dent in its power and influence - however the truth for Greece is that the EU has a great deal of power over Greece because Greece says it does.
Greece could leave the Euro, it could leave the EU - though they would not be painless options - but Greece chooses not to exercise them, nor to threaten to use them.
Rare to see such depth in ‘blog’ analysis.
I don’t have the knowledge to make a call on it, but it’s a powerful read for sure.
It’s never been stated. Maybe that was never the motivation.
My assumption, in good faith, is that it’s voting leave on principal because of what happened with Greece.

Actually did spend quite a bit of time explaining how an EFTA style leave would lead to more targeted money to Greece at the expense of subsidising French agricultue

I've yet to see anyone explain why they in principle want to remain a part of a supranational institution that as a matter of policy punishes countries financially to such an extent that the suicide rate soars.

I've yet to see you explain anything at all on this thread.
I am a sort of gadfly, given to the boards by God; and the boards are like a great and noble steed who is tardy in his motions owing to his very size, and requires to be stirred into life. I am that gadfly which God has given the thread and all day long and in all places am always fastening upon you, arousing and persuading and reproaching you. And as you will not easily find another like me, I would advise you to spare me. I dare say that you may feel irritated at being suddenly awakened when you are caught napping; and you may think that if you were to ban me, as teuchter advises, which you easily might, then you would sleep on for the remainder of your lives, unless God in his care of you gives you another gadfly.
