Cash injected into the thriving tech sector from Europe jumped to a record high of £1.89 billion in 2018, up from £1.66 billion in 2017, according to new data from law firm Penningtons Manches.

The number of tech deals involving European funds rose marginally to 150 last year, compared to 149 deals in 2017, while the value of the deals rose by 14 percent, as the average investment size boomed.

The EU remains confident in the long-term prospects of the sector in the UK, the firm said, as the value of deals involving at least one EU investor rose to £1.53 billion, from £1.26 billion in 2017.

[...] The US remains the largest overseas investor in UK companies, with a third of the total funds secured by British firms coming from US backers. Silicon Valley remains a key source of investment, with 101 deals involving cash from the west coast of America.

      Yes, Boy Scouts, you know, started out that way. But the Nazis are not in short supply in Merry (Gay?) Olde England. With the Tories in shambles in the run-up to next month’s EU elections, racists and misogynists are coming out of the woodwork of British politics."> [jacobinmag.com]

      You're very mixed up. You think that guy painted a Swastica on his own Building. Very obvious it wasn't him, it was a vandal. Terrible terrible symbol. And, terrible Paint Job.

      Brexit Party is not about, "oh, let's be Nazis!" It's the opposite. Nazis want Europe to be like one big country. They're the European Open Boarders people. The Globalists. Hitler brought Europe together with his army & air force. Donald Tusk (no relation) is doing it with Treaties. Brexit Party is about, let's close UK boarder with Europe. And cancel UK Treaty with Europe. Total total opposite. And the polls are very favorable for Brexit Party to win in the Europe Election that is coming up soon. And that's May 23rd. They're looking for candidates. Hopefully folks that believe, very strongly in Brexit. thebrexitparty.org/candidates [thebrexitparty.org]
