And I suppose whilst voting 'out' you considered all this did you


Or is this 'new' to your thoughts?

From an economic point of view, the EU have wanted to put most financial service into Frankfurt for many years, it's not exactly a secret. If anything, the Germans will now be appalled that this particular venture could be undercut by Brexit, a move which will independently allow us in the UK to create a far more competitive environment for multinationals- something the Germans will no doubt be held back by the EU institutions it so cherishes.


Louisa.

The EU will potentially be getting all financial services business related to Europe that is currently carried out in London. I'm not sure I follow the idea you are stating. Are you saying the UK might lose financial services but will get other types of business?

Let the nay saying, excuses and denial begin.


Anyway England, good bye. So long and thanks for all the fish.

France, Italy and Holland are all in the Euro, putting a whole degree of potential risk and potential f*ckuppery for Frexit etc even beyond the one 'we' voted for yesterday - not gonna happen I think.


We are just going to have to play tough leveriging with our big trade defecit partners we have in Europe - mainly France & Germany; plus the smaller ones for whom we are a vitally important trading partner (Ireland & Holland); we need some tough negotiators as soon as possible ...Cameron's attempts at nefgotition were useless as the EU didn't think we'd ever leave..


We are going to be worse off for a few years now, and that's a rosy scenario...there's a more catastrophic one which I'm parking for now...

The most worrying part is the increasing rise of the right in many countries, using immigration to stir people up. The people who voted leave because they didn't think it would actually happen may have helped to unleash something far, far worse. I met an elderly Austrian today who said it feels similar to the stories she grew up with about the thirties. Very concerning.

    • I also wonder if all this, recently events and so many u turns is going to also be the end of Kier Starmer.
    • And I replied: Mandelson and Trump have much in common. They are both shallow, vulgar and vain. They both fetishise wealth and power, irrespective of who holds it or how it was accumulated. They were both close friends and associates of the late Jeffrey Epstein and have moved in the same circles, as Ghislaine Maxwell’s address book allegedly confirms. Recognising another who is utterly transactional and lacking in a moral compass, there’s every chance of “Petie” fitting right in Mar-a-Largo. That Starmer couldn’t anticipate that Mandelson’s past behaviour would be problematic just proves how inept this government is.
    • Can't agree with that because he is a superb communicator - a really smart and  smooth talker. He studied PPE at Oxford and was communications director for Labour for many years.  Setting aside the "minor"  indiscretions during his time in government he has all the smoothness and ability to flatter Trump without appearing obsequious. Plus he can manage and exploit  Trump’s ego. He is highly polished socially, comfortable in elite circles, skilled at making personal connections. He can flatter and disarm, which is a useful tactic with Trump, who responds well to personal respect and praise. As a former EU Trade Commissioner and Cabinet minister, Mandelson understands international relations, trade, and diplomacy. He knows how to frame issues in terms of “wins” that Trump could claim credit for. I honestly hope that he survives.  
    • He is toast  he should never have been appointed  and starmer flannelling about all of this shows exceptionally poor judgement  a disgrace all around
