I don’t doubt there is a significant contribution, but that should be put into context with the cost. We (in the U.K.) as you will be aware are still dealing with the consequences of the financial crisis in 2008 that was caused by irresponsible practices by the financial services sector...

So here today is the Labour Party embarking on its own very public split. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2018/feb/24/labour-alliance-piles-pressure-on-corbyn-brexit-stance You need to work out which side you are on, the Tories in the Labour Party that want the UK continuously confounded...

Under the leadership of a genuine socialist like Jezza, in a post Brexit UK we will see the breaking of the dominance and influence of the City of London and all the incumbent fat cats. Jezza knows this goal will be easier to achieve out the EU to facilitate his policy of re-nationalisation and...

I think many Brexiters have a view that UK Politicians should be accountable for the policies of the country. If UK politicians want to advocate open borders, fine let them, and we’ll see how popular the policy is. Amongst its many faults the way the EU has been allowed (by politicians of all...

You must be hoping for a change in leader of the Labour Party then. Jezza has not changed his political spots (yet) and he knows full well that keeping the country tied to the Capitalist cabal (by customs union or otherwise) will not allow Jezza to deploy his genuine socialist agenda. To quote...

I see, so what you are saying here is that despite publically Labour supporting Brexit in the election last year, the party also committed to unrealistic demands that would mean it was “impossible” to leave. Do you understand why some people voted for Brexit because they are sick of politicians...

State aid is permitted, you are correct there, however who decides if nationalisation is state aid? Is it Corbyn (or the British PM) or is it someone that the British electorate can’t vote for? This is important, don’t you think? http://ec.europa.eu/competition/state_aid/overview/index_en.html

Oh my........you are going to be quite refreshing fun on this thread. This 2017 manifesto thingy.......was it based on the Labour Party supporting Brexit or staying in the EU?

I know that any company that is already “dramatically reducing” its front office staff by a third in response to Brexit is an outlier and acting against government guidance. If you have staff in the UK that are engaged in providing financial services to EU citizens or businesses now then there...

I think you are wrong. Corbyn (and for the record I support much of his policies myself) will be a game change for the UK’s business community and not least the city. The only way you would be correct is that Corbyn turns his back on socialist policies like nationalisation and commits to Tory...

My experience is to the contrary, I know of no major FS business that has made any such step.....lots of contingency plans have been made as should be expected, most major businesses I am aware of have agreed to make notifications to Govt agencies before any meaningful decisions on movements...

This is what you are not understanding......the EU financial services companies are in the UK because the markets with the most liquidity are here, the law of finance is common law, there are thousands of legal and services businesses here. You can just shift all that to Frankfurt. It’s like...

Treuhand.....

That’s as maybe, but Corbyn as PM is likely to be far more destabilising for the City than Brexit. The legions of pro EU Tory supporters on this board who are constantly waving a flag that the City will not cope with Brexit are demonstrating woeful ignorance. With Labour in and Corbyn as PM...

The operative word you have used here is “believe” as in not based on facts. No one in the media has mentioned the nature of the practical effort required to move millions of complex common law financial services contracts into EU equivalents The scale of this challenge is beyond measure, and...

Could you provide a bit more meat on the bone here? Do you think uk listed companies are going to de-list from the LSE? Are London’s markets in commodities, derivatives and other financial instruments going to close and spring up in the EU? Before you go on about passporting, you know more EU...
