    nothing like that
    but it would be interesting to know why you adopt the Rotherham solution to known child expolitation in the largest trading bloc in the world.
    In such a rich block one would think that there would be resources to obey the law and protect such vulnerble children.
    Not something you would consider important as it lacks the all important hatred for the people of the uK. Of course the homophobic parts of the largest trading block in the world wouldn't be of concern to you either.

    I presume there was a point somewhere in all that. Sadly it will have to remain ever hidden.

    This is getting very interesting now. Generally brexiteers are pro finance right wingers who think the sun shines forth from bankers' rarefied backsides and they must be allowed dispensation to trample the working man in their pursuit of wealth for themselves. Even if the working man is them. But that's what happens when Murdoch beams Tory propaganda into the minds of the poor from birth.

    But now the bankers are all going because Murdoch's Tory propaganda told everyone to vote Leave. And there isn't anything to replace them.

    Oh noes!

    it is unlikely you will ever understand, as your sole moral compass is based on hating the great majority of the people of the UK

    He is not giving an opinion on the merits of the euro or opining on the IMF's forecasts: he is relaying matters from his direct knowledge about the banks leaving London.

    in which case it is too late as they will all have gone by early in the new year.

    Britain’s biggest banks are preparing to relocate out of the UK in the first few months of 2017 amid growing fears over the impending Brexit negotiations, while smaller banks are making plans to get out before Christmas..
    Observer today!
    The best US maths and science talent used to be tied up on the US East Coast fighting an arms race for the investment banking industry. Honing faster share trading techniques and algorithms, and inventing esoteric hedge and derivatives instruments for example. That was till the '08 crash. Since the crash the number of such brains occupied in the finance business was decimated and West Coast IT, energy and biotech sectors are no longer starved for talent. A multitude of new tech start-ups in the US too. A big win for US society and eventually its economy.

    So here's hoping half tha parasitic UK banking sector does go to European mainland then maybe the UK can look forward to a similar economic miracle like the the US is getting.

    The EU doesn't have trade deals with the USA, China, Japan, Russia, Canada, India, Brazil, Australia, New Zealand and other advanced economies.

    It does have agreements with the Faroe Islands, the Comoro Islands, Akrotiri and Dhekelia (where?) and a few other minor players.

    I don't hold out much hope that there will be any agreement with the UK.

    Some brass plates to get moved from London to Frankfurt, the Leeds of Germany. Good luck with that. The talent of course will be staying in London.

    What makes you say that the talent will remain in London? If the job no longer exists in London I don't see why people wouldn't relocate.
