We are still in the EU you silly billy.
Are you a moron*?
Whatever you think of the individual people / roles in question, these are highly paid people, paying hefty taxes into the nation's coffers, to fund the services that you use.
*this is rhetorical question**
**That means you don't have to answer it.

They are MOVING jobs,not losing jobs
So what are the cleaners going to do now, how about the restaurants and cafes and other shops in the local area who will lose income, lost income = lost direct and indirect taxes and that's without the employees taxes on their earnings which another county is going to benefit from.
Reconciliation? I'm just annoyed that someone thinks it's OK to sweep job losses aside as perfectly reasonable collateral damage. I have no real desire to reconcile with a moron like you anyway. To be clear, I wouldn't give you the steam off my piss.
I didn't complain, but nor did I shrug and say "oh well" which is what you appear to be doing.

Give over.
The choice is: uproot your entire life including relationships, family, friends etc etc or lose your job.
It isn't about liking one place more than the other is it? Because a little over half the country voted for one thing over another a lot of people are at real risk of losing their livelihoods. Don't trivialise that. It's offensive and unnecessary.

Too f***ing true. Mr Broon destroyed many, many pension pots.

Don't be absurd talking some sense. The financial sector in London will be a ghost town by next week. We all know it.
Anyone with half a brain will know that American financial organisations like Morgan Stanley will likely move their UK operations into the EU as soon as possible. Financial markets hate the unknown, ok it increases liquidity, but also raises risk. Those firms who aren't UK based, will simply relocate into the EU to ensure that period of stability, whilst we run around like headless chickens for the next 2 years.

If it wasn't for Gordon Brown and Alistair Darling, the cashpoints would have run dry during the financial crisis and the banks would have pretty much brought about the end of civilisation as we know it. Everybody else in power in the western world, including the US, was paralysed with inaction until they took the lead.
I know one person who works there, email has gone round saying that they are evaluating the situation. It may come to nothing but when it's your livelihood the 1% chance of the office moving abroad provokes butterflies.
But, you have voted to leave the EU, so therefore the future guarantee of freedom of movement and freedom for work is now up for negotiation. Those negotiations will be two-way as well. Other EU nations will be trying to strike the best deal for their citizens much as we will be fighting for the best deal for ours. So, whilst there's uncertainty, there's no guarantee that people will move with jobs. I'd point out that Morgan Stanley has not moved any jobs, but were they to do so there would be no guarantee at this stage that the people would move with those jobs.

Banking industry taxation is a huge loss to the treasury which is why everything will cost more
