    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.

    clearly some people will choose to relocate when jobs move location but its likely the majority will not. People have families, children at school, grandparents, friends, social activities etc which will be important factors.

    Call it off. Brexiters are "dead weight" for the U.K.

    I am no banking fanboy but without these the world collapses.

    Bottom line : Money talks. No, rose tinted specs for the "sh** old days" and delusional "I am owed something from the bad people" mentality is going to cut through complete economic collapse.

    Brexiters are like a enemy edging towards a cliff to prove they are right.

    I mean that making uncomplementary generalisation about a race is RACIST

    your comment



    it is of course likely that you are too stupid to recognise that.

    Only someone of your simple yet nature could extrapolate racism from that comment. Look up what race means.

    A pitifully sad and failed attempt at building a straw man.

    95 minute flight from London to Frankfurt. Very easy to fly out Monday and return Friday.

    Because brass plating is the modus operandi of all international companies who need to place legal financial transactions in a given jurisdiction where passporting doesn't exist.

    At its very core, London is a face to face networking hub of synergy. One needs to cultivate a network in order to make trading gains, and this has to be off the record and face to face. You just can't ups ticks to Frankfurt and trade, it doesn't work that way.

    Finance is a global business. Why do you think the NEW trillion dollar Dim Sum and Massala bond market is right now establishing in London, and nowhere else?

    It is a fact that other Ruropean nations potentially could have referendums, and so it would make no business sense to take a further risk and move to such a place.

    New EU regulations on financial services are comming down he pipe, and taxes are higher, bonuses smaller

    Once again Remainers keep falling for fairy stories, Banks ALWAYS say they are going to leave, look at the 1992 Swiss EU referendum as but one example of this bed time story tactic

    Notice how gradually more and more Remainers are changing thier narrative from one of denial to acceptance.

    Many examples, such as today Hilary Benn three times saying "we are leaving", and with resigned acceptance simply stating MPs need input, BUT HE DID NOT SAY A VOTE.

    Input simply means for example Remainers on Select Comittees which is fine by me

    Every little kink in the road and your advice is to bottle it and go back to Mummies petty coats, you surely have not read history.

    Yes at the route of the remainer blind spot is this idea the SM is absolutely necessary and good, totally ignoring he fact it's largel a vested interested protection racket for a few price inflating sectors, and really not required at all for trade, if it were you would not have masses of non EU products and services in your lives.
