Gerald Ratner, "I don't think anyone knows whether Brexit is good or bad, it's a 10 year thing.. In the meanwhile, we've got a hell of a lot of disruption and I can't see how the Northern Ireland thing will ever be resolved.. People voted for Brexit because we had too much immigration.. Since Brexit we have replaced EU immigrants with non EU immigrants"
Michelle Dewberry, "Do you see any opportunities in Brexit?"
Gerald Ratner, "Exactly the opposite actually.. Business investment is 10% down because big companies take a view that we've made a big mistake"
Michelle Dewberry, "How do you know the investment decline, if there is one, is directly linked to Brexit?"
Gerald Ratner, "It all plays part with the scenario that Britain is going backwards.. Business people take a view.. They say Britain has made a lot of mistakes and its not a country that is top of our list for investment. That wasn't the case 10 years ago"
