Branson: Chinese investors pulling out of UK over Brexit vote

Virgin tycoon Sir Richard Branson has warned that Chinese business partners are already pulling investment from the UK after the EU referendum.

Speaking to The Guardian, he warned that last week’s historic vote will cost “thousands of jobs”.

Branson told my colleague Rob Davies that:

“I met with a group of Chinese businessmen yesterday morning who have invested heavily in England and who are now going to stop investing and withdraw investments they’ve already made.”

“I’m afraid that based on misinformation, people voted for Brexit, which is basically voting for a way of shooting themselves in the foot. The last 2 days has been absolute pandemonium worldwide in the markets, the pound crashing, the stock markets crashing, and we are heading rapidly towards a recession again. It’s just too sad, so so sad.

Branson also laid into the Leave campaign for misleading voters during the referendum campaign, saying “thousands and thousands” of workers will pay the price.

“Businesspeople do not want politicians to completely and utterly wreck the hard work they’ve done for years and years and that is effectively what happened. Thousands and thousands of jobs will be lost as a result of this. Thousands of jobs that would have been created will be lost and the knock-on effect will be so dire.
“The sad thing is I really think Brexiters were misled and did not realise.

People said it was scaremongering. It wasn’t scaremongering and the last 48 hours have proved that.”

As mentioned at 8.50am, Branson is pushing for a second referendum vote.

Branson’s Virgin Money challenger bank has been badly hit by the referendum result, with shares tumbling by 40% since Friday morning.

It was a long time coming but seeing all these tycoons squirming is so funny.  Branson is a tax exile with corporate control of his many businesses being held in tax havens.  Did he even have a vote?

Branson and his  family are unnafected by by mass migration that has taken place...I think we need to see how this turns out...we cannot simply carry on allowing increasing uncontrolled migration affecting our public services

"Nevertheless, under the United Kingdom's immigration arrangements Commonwealth citizens enjoy certain advantages:

    Commonwealth citizens born before 1 January 1983 may by virtue of having a parent born in the United Kingdom and Islands have the right of abode therein – such persons are exempt from all immigration control.
    Commonwealth citizens with a grandparent born in the United Kingdom and Islands may be admitted for up to five years on this basis, and thereafter be granted indefinite leave to remain.
    Commonwealth citizens between the ages of 18 and 30 were eligible to be admitted for a "working holiday" for up to two years. This has since been replaced with the more restrictive Youth Mobility Scheme[4] (now open only to youth of Australia, Canada, Japan, New Zealand, and Monaco).
    Commonwealth citizens, unlike other non-European Economic Area nationals, may not be required to register with the police while living in the United Kingdom".

What immigration really means to Britain

A picture of an NHS surgical team who come from around the European Union has been shared thousands of times online.

The photo, titled "We are Europe!", shows three scrub nurses from Spain, an Irish radiographer, a German consultant anaesthetist, a Greek urology specialist registrar and a British Pakistani consultant urologist.

Junaid Masood, who posted the picture while working at Homerton University Hospital in east London, said immigration is "the backbone" of the NHS.

The locum consultant urologist wrote: "Today we have been hard at work improving people's lives! This is what our friends from Europe do for the NHS."

Well, as he is a businessman who employs tens of thousands of employees in the UK, he knows what he is talking about.

Anyone who thinks this referendum is going to stop more migrants coming in is living in Cloud Cuckooland.

And if Europe wants to fuel the far right, open borders is the right way to go about it.
