Aberdeen to be city most affected by brexit

[thistle do nicely]

Report in the guardian

 

 

 

I'm saying nothing

[Hertsscot]

Wasn't there also a report saying that Aberdeen would be adversely affected by HS2 as well?

Aberdeen ranked top, Edinburgh sixth.

A 'hard Brexit', according to the report, would see a 3.7% decrease in Aberdeen's economic output (2.1% with a 'soft Brexit')

Edinburgh a 2.7% and 1.4% decrease for both, Glasgow would have a 2.4% and 1.3% decrease and Dundee 2.1% and 1.2%. No other city in Scotland was calculated, but we have these maps:

Stop fussing. The broad shoulders will see us right.

This report is right. But I think they are underestimating how bad it will be. Same for Edinburgh which will get hit like the city. There is a certain 'voetic' justice to it all.

Just what i was going to say. Areas with highest proportion of selfish folk likely to suffer most from Brexit.

Will Aberdeen fans still be allowed to go on about playing in the supercup after brexit?

Nail on head - shame some folk where not prepared to take that step (although I can totally understand why they didn't)

Such a shame. It really is.

it'll be the ess en peeeeeees fault

they should vote in the tories in Aberdeen, that'll help 

[McDange]

So basically admitting that Brexit is going to have a negative economic impact on the whole UK? That alone should be reason to cancel it. 

[ParisInAKilt]

It's 2017 and Scotland is 1 year away from actualising independence following a narrow YES vote in 2014.

the Guardian has produced an article claiming that Dundee and Aberdeen will be the most affected by the change. 

Do you believe it?

[Grim Jim]

When reality hits home post-brexit (pre-brexit window has closed?), go for it. There may be some distraction down south and benefit up here.

If folk hide in their conch, then give up and become an ex-pat in Marbella   ...errr.

No no no, it's not going to be bad for britain, it'll be bad for everyone else cos britain is bigger and tougher than the rest of the world. 

 

Fkin embarrassment. The attitude is just utterly repulsive. Pure english nationalism with grovellers latching on to their masters, open holed and ready to by pumped with a wee slavering grin on their pus in the name of "britain".
