Has brexit ruined city of London?

gettingtheresometime

Thus whole brexit thing is getting at tedious as the Scottish independence arguement.

Please can we have an extra box on the next referendum ballot paper saying what ever you want as you're only going to be whinging on about until you get your own way

Germany has said im sorry to the Uk brexit. As they sell more cars to the UK and lied about their admissions on pollution and the EU has let us off, without us knowing, Well we do give them lots of cash, France isnt going to complain.

Did you learn English in Moscow?

Bank of America is looking for a new office or any other company is not necessarily relevant.
Those companies still have UK related jobs especially accounting type roles. Obviously, they will have staff here. Same goes for Deutsche Bank. They have British operations. Their office is for British operations. Not EU operations.

A lot of companies also started looking for offices even leased some in European cities.

The underlying subtext that i guess you missed was that its just as easy to find examples of companies moving jobs IN to London as there are to find examples of them moving jobs OUT.

Lidl jobs are supermarket jobs. No one really said they won't have stores in Britain soon either. Perhaps more budget markets will be needed in the future.

Supermarket jobs? A lot of the roles are management / head off jobs too.

Brexit hasn't happened yet. No one knows what will happen. If there is an impact, it won't happen over the next 2 months. So it is equally funny to be glass half full guy at this point. Businesses do what their shareholders tell them to do at the end of the day.

I'm not. I'm merely pointing out that ANY business will look for opportunities because of Brexit - as i will with mine.

Example companies are not moving IN London. They are already in London for their British businesses. They would keep the HQ to continue to expand in Europe in the past but now they would not. I work for one of the said companies and the message they give is clearly "we don't know yet" because no one knows what the decision will be on certain banking ops.

Management / head off jobs in stores ?

"The group currently employs 19,000 in the UK and has been stepping up the expansion of its UK operations of late.

It plans to more than double the number of British stores to 1,500, recently opened a distribution centre in Southampton and has committed to open warehouses in Wednesbury, Exeter and Doncaster."

As above, it is clear that they have British operations and natural that they will have HQs here. It is what would happen to jobs related to European ops.

I don't know York nor your family but many leave voters blamed manufacturing jobs leaving the country on EU. Too much for being not stupid or ignorant.

Manufacturing jobs would had left the UK regardless of the UKs relationship with Europe. If you are a multi national company and can employ someone and a fraction of the cost in other countries, then you will do that. Its basic business sense.


An if you did the analysis, you will find most of the manufacturing jobs have not gone to Europe, but to Asia. The cotton and textile jobs of Lancashire have gone to China, along with the leather industry goods of Northampton, the lace making of Nottingham, the ceramics of the Black Country. All shifted to another continent. Shipbuilding of the Clyde and Belfast have all gone to Korea. Even Dyson shifted their manufacturing to Malaysia.


High staff wages and poor industrial relations of the 70s and 80s were the nail in the coffin for British Manufacturing.

What are the chances of the UK getting a good deal from the EU? Will brexit make other EU countries decide to leave the EU?

Seriously. Who cares.
