I see this point of view in this article as well that businesses are just going to leave England and go to the EU simply because it is easier than Suing the government for years to acquire just dues, even though some businesses will do both. But, basically there is no reason to stay in England now. No economic advantage for businesses to be there very much so many many are just going to leave and move to the EU or the U.S. or Canada instead. Thousands likely will lose their jobs if Brexit is instituted. Again this is a complete economic disaster for England any way you look at this.

London (CNN)They simply won't take "Brexit" for an answer.
Tens
of thousands of protesters angered by Britain's historic vote last week
to leave the European Union marched down London's up-market Park Lane
Saturday, many of them hoping that divorce from the bloc will never
actually happen.

They
say they've been cheated by a campaign deceit and false promises,
chanting "We are the 48%, no more lies, no more hate." The Leave vote
won 52% of the vote, with the remain side at 48%.
Organizers
said around 50,000 people had joined the march by midday, and while the
protest attracted all walks of life, millennials appeared to make up
the bulk of the crowd.
'We want action'
"The votes were called but
people were told lies," said 29-year-old Loveday Newman, wearing a
T-shirt bearing a big red heart with "Europe" scrawled on it.
"I
understand it's the outcome of a democratic vote but it's still a
democracy, and being part of that I hope we can contest the outcome. I
hope we remain. I am European. Britain is just stronger in," she said.
Tom Walsh, a 31-year-old factory worker, said he felt the "wrong thing has happened."
"Both
sides have lied. We've been part of Europe for so long -- you can't
change anything being alone. And to the EU, we're not racist idiots.
They represent a small number of people here. You're always welcome," he
said.
Britain has seen a rise in racial hate crimes following the vote.
Organizers
of the March for Europe protest said they were demanding decisive
political action as the country plunged into political chaos and
uncertainty following the vote.
"We're all here today under
one message -- we believe in the EU and we want our voices heard. We
want action taken by the government," March for Europe spokeswoman Helen
Parker told CNN.
"There is a
complete lack of leadership and it's just chaos in government. There's
no plan for this country and everybody's worried about the future," she
said.
Political chaos
Protesters'
signs referred to concerns about the economy, democracy and security,
and complained of muddied information by campaigners and the media.
One protester held a sign reading "Divided Europe is a dangerous place," while another read "Media & MPs: Shame on You."
"Brexit
= Business Exit," another read, as concerns grow of mass job losses if a
withdrawal from the 28-country bloc prompts businesses to set up
headquarters and factories elsewhere.
Some
of those joining the march were people who did vote to leave but then
changed their minds in the aftermath, when the pound plunged and global
markets took a nosedive. Others stood by their leave votes, but called
for better leadership and a good relationship with the EU as Britain
exits.
British Prime Minister David
Cameron, who campaigned to keep Britain in the union, announced his
resignation the day after the vote, saying he would step down in
October.
That has left the country
without a clue as to who will usher them into a new and uncertain
political phase, and Cameron has said the separation process will not
officially start until the new prime minister is appointed.
The
British public has no more certainty of the opposition Labour Party,
also torn apart by leadership tussles following the referendum.
Many
are interested in what kind of trade deal Britain will strike with the
EU, as it could have significant consequences for the country's economy.
The majority of London
voters supported remaining in the union, and Mayor Sadiq Khan has
reiterated that the city is an outward looking one that is open to
Europeans.
