Yes, I'm afraid your posts aren't quite as gleaming with clarity as you believe them to be.

The Boerse deal was meant to be a merger, headquartered in London. I doubt that will be the case with the American takeover.

I had a wry chuckle at your belief that you have an open mind, by the way.

You are yet again wrong, proving that my mind is beyond doubt much more open than yours.;)

So yet again (this is becoming tedious) I will educate you; I should charge you an hourly rate.

Yes, the original idea was indeed to base the merged company here in the UK.
There were however demands from Deutsche Boerse insisting upon the base being in Germany.

Germans demand London Stock Exchange moves group headquarters to Frankfurt

Earlier?

One big issue that Carsten Kengeter has been pushing back hard against is calls by German politicians to shift the location of the legal headquarters of its merger with the LSE from London to Frankfurt.

This was well before LSE's refusal to comply with the afore-mentioned EU request, please note.

Oh, and I am still awaiting your answers from my previous post.

why the German Deutsche Boerse are quite so keen to get their hands on the LSE?
And why this interest is heightened now, with Brexit underway?
Or why the original planned merging with German interests would be better than your critical suggestion of NASDAQ?

Was May even a Remainer really?

She certainly didn't offer much in the campaign on the biggest issue the political issue the UK has faced in recent times.

Personally I believe her entire positioning during the referendum campaign was primarily driven by her interest in becoming PM, rather than much of a reflection of her beliefs on the UK's relationship with the EU, I honestly have no idea what her views are on the ideal relationship between the UK and the EU.

Agreed....I think she'd like single market access ......but she's held hostage by the brexiteers. She's appointed them to deliver the project. The problem with her positioning though is that her appointees are the last people on earth remainers will vote for...because they are divisive idealogues......so how can she pull the country together on that basis? There is no basis to her claim to represent the country 'as a whole'. Scotland will be the first to go! It's just hot air and meaningless rhetoric!

This move we are making is reactionary, protective and 'walking away'.

How is staying close allies with Europe but re-orientating more globally, regressive?


As to University staff and students we've collaborated globally for 2 centuries.

We will collaborate just fine just as for example do Australia and USA - this fixation that only EU nations do such things is just Cleggy fear mongering.


Loads of top Brits teach in John Hopkins, Stanford, MIT etc - grown-ups manage such things without being in EU


Canada's Perimeter Institute attracts top thinkers from across Europe




I'm sorry but pure fear of change clouds the thinking so much. We will ensure collaboration is maintained

From Sky: a recent poll suggests half the populace are, and I quote, "happy about the triggering of Article 50, while 36% feel sad about leaving the EU."

Digby Jones called the 21st century the 'Asian century'.

There is a good chance he will be proved right.

There is little to be gained investing in the likes of Romania or Poland. The big returns will be continued development of Asia and also renewed interest in South America.

Brexit is an opportunity to refocus.

How did being in the EU stop our access to this. Hasn't Germany concluded a massive trade deal with China?

We had access to those options if we stayed in the EU. It's not either or but both! The EU didn't stop us co-operating globally. What we've lost is our punching weight on the world stage....because countries negotiating with us now know we are not a way in to the EU any more. We don't have our EU status any more!

Want a laugh, look at this 'demand' the other side has issued;


'And it will not allow Britain to use its military muscle or intelligence connections as a “trade-off” to try to secure a more advantageous trading agreement.'

For some time I've suggested our military / intelligence projection is one of our Aces. We wont be putting this Ace back in the box just because the EU demands it, lol.

Hilarious, and we will just accept this will we! As I said many times on here our military projection

We have not lost a thing, for heavens sake, we will still collaborate with Europeans, lol

This is not a report.
It's an opinion piece.
Nothing more, nothing less.
