Data from information services company CEB shows a steep fall in the number of job vacancies advertised online, down by almost half in the week after the referendum. In the week before the vote it found 1.5m UK-based posts being advertised, dropping to 820,000 the following week. Over the same period a year earlier the number remained at around 1.5m.

“This is an early indication that UK-based companies are pulling back from hiring following the EU referendum result,” said CEB’s HR practice leader, Brian Kropp.

“At this stage it is unclear if this is an early shock reaction from employers and whether this trend will continue. However, if recruitment budgets do contract and open headcounts are frozen, it will certainly have a negative impact on the UK economy.”

Yes but Tim, you know what the leave people will say, right! As soon as all those Poles and the Bulgarians are sent home, there will be a lot of jobs available. But of course, these were the jobs the Brits didn't want to do in the first place, which means these jobs will remain mainly unfilled, unless of course, they will bring back the very same Poles and Bulgarians to take their old jobs back. :wink: :lol:

I employ three Bulgarians, one has been with me since 1984, the other since 1999 and the ...gorgeous lady since 2001. I would be lost without them and maybe forced to closer down. They are bloody good workers, they are respectful and loyal. I don't just consider them as employees but as family.

The more I think of the utter blindness of the leave geriatrics the more I want out of the UK.

Today I learned from my estate agent that the people buying my house have pulled out! Could this have anything to do with the Brexit ?

I think this is a far better indication of the way the British people feel, than what you imply.

Labour motion on EU migrants 'right to remain' passes Commons vote

A Labour motion in support of EU migrants in the UK, which won the backing of Boris Johnson, has passed comfortably in the Commons.

The shadow home secretary, Andy Burnham, called on Conservatives to vote with Labour on the motion, which asked the government to “commit today that EU nationals currently living in the UK shall have the right to remain”. The motion passed by 245 votes to two after the government abstained.

I think most people appreciate the Europeans that work in the UK. There are always a small minority of the less intelligent Brits, given a platform by press sensationalism, that think differently. Like the Polish couple who had their house torched by some morons who should be found and flogged.
The more I think of the utter blindness of the leave geriatrics the more I want out of the UK.

Did you see the Farage Video? Although a ‘geriatric’, as I see it, the federalisation of the EU was far more significant in my deliberations than immigration. The UK has lived with immigration for decades. The last time I went to London (9 yrs ago) I thought I was in a foreign country! So, in a way I can understand the resentment especially where immigrants are becoming the majority. It must be quite worrying, especially for younger families with children in schools where English is a language spoken by the minority.

Sorry to hear that but I am sure there will be others interested. As for the reason? You could be right there are still a lot of scare stories being spread. It seems that many who voted to remain are playing the ‘we-told-you-so’ game and seem determined to prove they are right and those that voted for an exit were wrong. :roll:

I have two customers who have also been let down on house sale in the UK .
I asked in my SPANISH bank yesterday and the lady said that ´the information¨ is that brits wanting to buy a spanish house who live in spain should be treated as´ extranjero externa´ not ´extranjero interna´ that is the same as china or upper volta and requires 5 years of tax returns . I very much doubt as if they would want to take on brits who want a holiday home .
In 2007 there were a lot of british banks in spain ,now they are all been brought by the spanish normally for a small stake in the main spanish bank ,who now own two major banks in the UK ,as their profits in the UK have dropped then theIr lending policy in the UK must have changed since THE VOTE .I havent asked in my german bank but the wife is going back to berlin soon ,so i will get her to ask ..

Ah yes the cry of the locals ´ i did not know there were gas chambers down the road and thought it was snowing all year´ - of course the thick people voted for ´white wogs out ´ - mostly in areas where there are ZERO of them - proving its not anytihng but more NAZIS mis-info .LONDON voted to stay in a lot due to the facts THAT THERE AINT MANY WOAPs - most non-europeans voted leave up north - coz the ´´pakis´ are losing bizness to the local ´´white wog´ shop ...
as for primary schools ,yes they might have mostly children who go to church each sunday and have good manners and respect their
parents - ie ´white wogs ´ COZ THEY ARE THE MAJORITY IN THE AREA - its not alabama where children are bused around to make it even .
if you look at secondary schools they are 95% brits (unless you start a NAZIS NO.7 test)

Here is what you do - you write it on a bit of paper ,then 24 hours later go back and read it - if it sounds like the ravings of a complete loony - find you local ´i dont pay im british´´ cyprus nut house and take a room - ANYONE WHO THINKS PEOPLE WILL LET THEIR HOUSE SALE FALL THRU just to say we-told-you-so is a total nut job ...
