Oh that reminds me - a certain pro-EU and/or pro-remain section of this forum were so adamant last week regarding Mark Carney's reputation.
That means they will agree with this, then:

Ah yes, I forgot about the new Robert Walters City Job Index.

Did you also forget that jobs have not moved yet, in any significant numbers at least?
Strange that when certainly I myself have to keep reminding some in this thread.

And then too your silence was deafening.


As were you with this:

Banking uncertainty in London regarding Brexit?
No problem, say Asian investors:
"Asian merchant bank Ion Pacific expands into European market with new HQ... in London"

Asked why Ion Pacific had chosen London as its European base, she said: “London will always be the HQ for Asian investors, especially the Chinese, who see it as a platform for Europe. This is unlikely to change, regardless of how Europe comes to see London in the future”

Carney, chosen by Osborne and cheered by Ed Bal ls; that says it all really.

It's Ed Balls by the way.

Is this an example of your best response when shown that Brexit is not all doom and gloom?

The auto-correct here has a tendency to replace such words with exclamation marks, doesn't it?
Hence the pre-emptive spacing.
BTW, you are the one who started correcting my grammar so the "newly appointed forum grammar & spelling enforcer" would be you.
Still, at least this time you avoided an irrelevant graphic.

You guys are deluded if you think actual German manufacturers already facing various issues such as fake emissions compensation and combustion engine ban putting jobs at risk, will further degrade their business by making it harder to sell into UK

Not deluded at all. I mean, look at what 2 of the biggest German industry groups are actually saying and see how it fits with your idea:

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2017/jul/08/german-industry-warns-uk-over-brexit


Or how about running the numbers. What percentage decline in sales will German car manufacturers see if we switch to buying none? half? Of what we currently do.

Do you have any secret industry access that's telling you something differently? The impression I get (from seeing reports direct from German industry) is that whilst they don't want Brexit, they value Euro cohesion more, and have no interest in giving up the Euro project for our vanity.

This is an interesting one:
"UK household wealth rises to £10.5 trillion, thanks to an increase in the value of financial and housing assets"

UK household wealth rose by £892bn in 2016 to hit £10.5 trillion following an increase in the value of financial and housing assets, according to research from Lloyds Bank.

Drip, drip, drip;

You do understand that companies will still want to trade in the UK no matter how bad a deal we get, right?

Are there any bag-of-fag-packet calculations to see if our potential gains are going to offset our potential losses?
