I'm not sure how you can infer that wasn't what we were doing?! Thats the purpose of a SWOT! Your suggestion in then irrelevant to the context of the meeting as that's not the focus of 'my guys' when we work in a different industry to a different market. But thanks for the MBA anyway.
And as to 'work with your lot' I am proud to work for an enterprise who indubitably make the world a better place.
Sorry to take the thread off track but your response was uninformed and somewhat rude. Jumping to conclusions. Sounds just like a brexiter to me!

I'm not sure where I said it was politically motivated. My suggestion is that some peoples nationalities may give them more of a leaning one way or another.

Do you normally tar people with the same brush just because they may have similar wishes. Who's jumping to conclusions now.

He's the CEO of one of the largest stock exchange groups in the world, do you really think even in the most paranoid fantasies that he will start making business decisions and forecasts based on his nationality as opposed what is best for the company he runs? I'm pretty sure we had this paranoia about foreign bosses of companies on the LSE who are apparently unqualified to offer an informed opinion 'because they are foreign' about 2000 posts ago. I'm more than happy to listen to logical arguments, but if that is the best people can manage when trying to refuse someones opinion then it kind of strengthens my resolve to vote remain.

Companies (ergo CEO's) are legally obliged to put shareholder interests first. The CEO is not allowed to "lean" any other way than profit.

Good debate on TV tonight and I think it's safe to say that the leave side headed by Boris won it hands down. Standing ovation at the end for him.

In what way would us remaining in the EU be particularly attractive or beneficial to a French man?
If he is speaking as CEO of the LSE rather than personally it can only be a case of him promoting what he feels best for his shareholders. Otherw ise he would be in breach of his duties.

Actually I'm not paranoid. If you read what I said it had nothing to do with business neither have I mentioned anything about "because they are foreign", have you something against people who are foreign.
Whilst I don't care too much for spelling and grammar on forums, can you at least try to punctuate correctly so that I can read the post in your intended manner? I wouldn't want respond and therefore be jumping to conclusions regarding your 'point'!

It was a decent debate, not sure if anyone won but Gisela Stewart came over very well, cool and considered under pressure for Brexit, Bojo was just Bojo, Ruth Davidson did best for remain, sure she is making a pitch for the big time, good speaker. Khan and the TUC lady weren't great speakers imo.
Glad to hear the author guy reiterate that Brexit does not make you a xenophobe or racist, needed saying.
Still dithering!

And if there was more profit to be made by UK leaving, then it would be incumbent upon the bosses of all listed companies to support Leave - except they are not.
And not all have said stay.

And for a very long time the vast majority - almost the totality - of experts thought the world was flat and that didn't work out so well for them in the end. Just because you're in a majority doesn't mean that you are right.
But it isn't even the vast majority. This is like the Leavers spinning the £350million. Of the 1000 business leaders polled, only 170 replied, and only 130 said Remain.
The vast majority of those that replied said Remain, but that isn't e vast majority of 1000.
Joe Public is lapping up the spin from both camps and repeating it as facts.
A couple of weeks back it was widely reported that a US investment bank was saying Brexit is a very bad idea. What wasn't widely reported was another major US bank said the opposite.
Last week there was an editorial in the New York Times about Brexit that even a school child could drive a coach and horses through. Apparently WW2 started in 1940!

So, were nearly there
Months of wrangling, discussion, debate, accusations, lies and truths from both sides
Many, many "Experts" are for Remain
Many, many "Experts" are for Leave
If the Experts can't make up their minds why are we leaving the future of our Country in the hands of millions of people who haven't got a clue..?
Why not just toss a coin.......😥

Cheers teach,! Having had a very successful career where I didn't receive the obvious support required to publish on a golf forum I feel let down and disenfranchised. But there again, those that do, do and those that don't teach.

Lets see how fast Parliament repeals the law introduced on EU legislation or are we going to go through this all over again in a couple of years.

I had a thought this morning, if being in was so good how come we're having a referendum?

Just goes to show.....no one knows. Plus there are many out there who really should not vote at all.
