There is nothing "sinister" in wanting immigration controlled.

There is if you pretend to be an impartial immigration watchdog, and then cherry pick only the evidence that shows negative impacts of immigration while completely ignoring any research that shows any neutral or even positive effects of it.

Mehmet is a Turkish name , so I doubt he'd appreciate being called a bubble!

Yet he's a Cypriot. Took me 5 seconds to find that out.

Google is your friend.

Sinister in that they claim to be impartial yet have a clear anti-immigration right wing agenda. Which obviously resonates with you given your knee-jerk reactionary post refuting my suggestion.

So, concern about immigration is always and exclusively right wing, eh? Well, of course - you don't agree with it, so it must be!

They're described as "a right wing pressure group" on their Wikipedia page I think.

She will plead for an end to insults, the Press Association reports, as well as the divisive terminology of “leavers” and “remainers”, and call on both sides to come together

Will that extend to NSC?

where is this fabled EU financial centre going to arise? Paris, Frankfurt, Dublin, Warsaw, Luxembourg? all have an eye on the trade, you think the EU, the political entity that cant even settle on a single parliament building, will be able to determine a single location? and in a couple of years? without the critical mass of a single centre it would prove difficult to shift to one, so the role be left to one of the existing financial centres (London, Singapore or New York). theres the point of the article, the EU members themselves recognise they need to access the markets effectively and not cut off access to spite themselves, and those markets are already in London.

Yes, difficult, but at least there is a potential reward attached to the risks for them.

Migration Watch UK are a sinister bunch. "Oooh look we've got an immigrant on our board! That means we're a serious, completely neutral and non-political organisation!"

So are the figures and stats wrong?. Maybe take a look at them before taking a swipe at the members.

I had lunch hour with two people whose job is in clearing sales for a large bank , they Augher when I brought up the possibility of London losing the clearing business , there is nowhere in Europe capable of handling it.

Not currently.

Given he was born in 1948 when Cyprus was Cyprus and not split between Republic of Crypus and northern Cyprus who knows.
Or is he a British subject given he was born before independence.
If Brirish then the historicname has no relevence

Difficult is an understatement, and belies your lack of understanding of the financial services industry and the associated markets.

One of the critical reasons that the UK is a global financial hub is the legal system, which is based on common law. The UK legal system is trusted and is aligned with the US common law. Common law is the underlying law in all the major global financial markets and sets the legal framework for the governance of companies. This legal system is trusted and desired, its why many global companies list on the stock markets, in those countries, principally NY, HK and LON.

The legal system in Europe is not, it does not come close..........notwithstanding the technical architecture they could not produce a credible legal system. You are on the losing side on this one (again).

Give up.
