Hello and welcome to another episode of Remaniacs, the podcast for people who want to have

their Black Forest ghetto and their tart tatan, their pastesteinata and their tiramisu and

eat it by staying in the European Union.

The shadow that Brexit is casting across the NHS and, last but not least, what Brexit

means for Britain's tech industries, for which we have a special guest.

Oliver Smith is senior reporter at the memo, a daily online newspaper which says it's

for people curious about the future.

I guess that excludes quite a lot of pro-Brexit people who seem to be more curious about

Actually, we saw before the referendum, there was a survey, it found that 87% of the London

tech community were pro-remain.

I believe that figure has stayed just as high since.
