The problem will be if Fillon makes it through to the second round.
Le Pen is likely to win the first round whatever, but will lose badly against Macron, but could scrape by if against Fillon. I'm amazed he's still running what with the criminal investigations against him. As with the Americans primaries to choose candidates seem a bit of a mistake - Juppe was a much better candidate, but didn't appeal to many of the crazies who vote in these sort of elections.

Since Merkel was delayed by the snow, Kenny ended up being the first EU leader to meet him. (May doesn't count anymore of course)
He "sat him down" and explained in detail what Brexit was and what it could mean for Ireland. (How much of this Trump absorbed is anyone's guess)
Trump was "very surprised" to hear about the hard border and the potential knock-on effect from it. He also expressed surprise at the number of undocumented Irish in America. It's 50,000, Trump assumed it would be many times that.
Lastly, Mike Pence mentioned during a speech that "when you're a President that plays a lot of golf and owns a lot of golf courses that basically makes you royalty in Ireland" a statement that in Trump's case is hilariously accurate when you consider Ireland's historical attitude to royalty.
How do people know how many undocumented Irish are in the US if they're undocumented?
In the US no one cares about undocumented immigrants if they're white. People stay past their visas all the time and there's plenty of first generation Irish in certain US cities (Boston and NYC especially)

There are organizations in Ireland set up to help undocumented Irish abroad, especially in the US.
Please don't tell Trump.

I think I misunderstand the meaning of the word undocumented in that context. I feel like if something is undocumented then you have no way of knowing about it.

Nah, it's stuff like not having the proper paperwork to stay in the US. Stuff like overstaying a tourist visa or whatever. We have a rough idea of their number but enforcement isn't a priority.

You're right in the literal sense, definitely
The old term was "illegal" but that suggests their existence is illegal, and so isn't used so much these days as it's of questionable virtue.
Undocumented is the new term, which is not technically correct but is better than illegal I suppose.
Personally I'd go with "non-citizen" myself but whatever.
Undocumented really just means without appropriate documents.
In most cases someone will know, or atleast can infer, their existence within the borders, because they still use services, buy food, possibly pay taxes, etc...
Largely they are left alone not because they are not known about, but because one department won't, or possibly can't, talk to another, and even when they do, undocumented imigrants are not really that big of a deal, deporting people is rarely worth the money (especially if they are paying taxes).

That makes total sense and I'm not sure why I didn't think of that. Excuse my denseness!

Financial passporting is a series of agreements that let UK financial firms trade with the rest of the EU without restrictions faced by other countries.
London is currently the hub for EU financial trading, but that would have to change with the loss of passports.
Companies would need to move some staff to offices in Frankfurt or some other city where they have financial offices.
Basically it's the loss of the "single market", but specifically talking about financial firms.
It's uncertain how much that would affect London firms, but as someone who works in the sector in the US, there was a lot of panic after the Brexit vote from colleagues in London.
Oh rock on, thanks for the info. I'll give that a read. Do want to say though that people can't underestimate how much business high-finance brings, in the form of high-class business travel expenses and such. Not suggesting it will be massive, but big enough to be felt.
The local expenses business will be a loss, but not nearly so much as the large-scale exodus of very well paid people and all the income tax they were paying. It's not a stretch to say that this will probably be a 10-digit hit to government income.
Fortunately, we still have plenty of poor people who can be thrown out to die in the rain to cover that hit.
A ‘hard Brexit’ could do untold damage to the educational and cultural fabric of Wales, and would harm our economic competitiveness, a report published today warns.
The document from the Institute of Welsh Affairs says safeguarding these sectors must be a “red line” for the Welsh Government in any talks with the EU.

Once upon a time, politicians asked themselves "should I do this?" now they seem to ask"can I get away with this?"
How can anyone defend this; seriously? The only redeeming aspect of this is that May fucking rekt Osborne back when she became PM so hopefully there's still some antagonism between the two parties that'll lead to an actual balanced check against the Government.
I dunno, I think they always asked themselves, "Can I get away with this?"
It's just that now they realize the answer is "Yes" more often than they used to think.
George Osborne only went for the Evening Standard editorship after friends asked his advice about applying, it has emerged.
The former Chancellor first considered the role after being inundated with requests for his thoughts from other possible candidates, an ally has claimed.
It's purely that a significant portion of the people in the country, that are trained to do the job, are not UK nationals
Given that the problem is a lack of clarity and a lack of trust, it isn't even obvious that this is a solvable problem in the short term even if there was a pile of money to be thrown at it
It's just (IMO) a snappier and more instant go-to response to this goosery than "Taking back control!" Although that might be the more appropriate sarcasm for this particular thing.
Long term, there is a possibility, however remote, that you could throw insane money at it and actually fix it. But we're talking, what, a decade at the bare minimum?
I encourage everyone in this thread to take a look at the photos of Osborne addressing the Evening Standard staff circulating at the moment. Their expressions are pretty much exactly what you'd imagine.

Keep an eye on where all the ERC funding that the UK is losing is going. Those are probably the places to look if you guys are thinking of flitting.
They didn't say exactly how we'd get it. In this case the NHS will have an extra 350 million because we're losing 350 million worth of staff and hospitals.

My wife is lucky in that her current research project is funded by the ERC but is due to finish anyway at the end of this year.
Her next project is being funded by British research grants so for now we're safe.

I'm currently on year 1 of a three year ERC funded project. At the end of it my girlfriend (who's also a scientist) and I are strongly considering emigrating. There's just a general feeling of betrayal that our government and our fellow country people are actively destroying our future and prosperity for petty ideological reasons.

"All-time high", huh. That sounds familiar.
Better buckle up, the possibility is very real.

Huh, you blokes spell hemorrhaging differently. Didn't know that.
Also, holy shit you are fucked. You're losing 33% of your nurses within 10 years and now can't import them?
Ouch.
