Of Britain’s position, he writes that banking is the country’s biggest export industry by far, and that the current trajectory threatens not just tariff-free trade but the legal right of banks to provide services.

They'll just say 'good, let those pesky bankers leave' evidently having no clue of the importance of banking and financial services in the UK.

we havent left the European union yet. Also we are not saving anything in comparison to what we have. Also what happened to the money Farage promised the NHS?

This was the worst decision we have made

Do you sarcasm ~ ?
Bye Bye :smile: send a post card.
Unfortunately banks have threatened to leave so often that in the past this has been seen as idle threats by too many people. Gideon Osbourne gave in to HSBC when they hinted that they might move their HQ and changed the tax regime in their favour. So if they do move some jobs abroad it will sadly be too late.
Couldn't care less, the money they make has never been invested in the people. Plus when the government really do get "tight" we will see a generational shift in attitude, harking back to the pre war days when society actually existed and nobody gave any excuse to not be a part of it
Remainers?

Why would you support remaining in a failed state?

We should have never joined!

... Can't get over how clueless some of our younger generation can be, given the access to knowledge and education.

Blimey.

OP, the sad truth is that, and this is what I've said all along, no matter what significant, unambiguous Brexit-related blow our country will suffer, the Brexiters will still blindly shout that the decision to leave was the right one.

They either won't attribute the knock back to Brexit, or they will say that they don't care about it, or it's not important. Or my favourite; it's a "short term" consequence, before the golden post-Brexit era is to shine upon us (lol).

That unfortunately, is the strength of the human mind. People are essentially willing to lie to themselves, and believe their own lies, rather than consciously accept that the decision they so strongly advocated, was a piss poor one. Rather than to accept mistakes were made.

We have to prepare to see a lot of that unfortunately.

Brexiters right now-

And clearly the remoaners have no clue what actually constitutes financial services, and the service sector in general :rolleyes:
Good. The UK can do with rebalancing it's economy away from just London.

Do you want to elaborate on how we're going to do that with a declined GDP or are you going leave that pointless stock phrase as it is?
Pretty much all of them will say how it's just posturing to get a better deal, how it doesn't matter (remember anyway, Leave = anti-establishment, hence no surprise at all they are against ******s, er bankers).

He's basically just demanding that there is an equally low regional GDP everywhere :biggrin:
Nah it's just sore loser attitude among the camp that lost. They'll keep on looking for proof the other side got it wrong and accuse the winners of being lied to etc etc. Well we're glad we didn't submit further to the bureaucratic piss hole that only serves to erode the common life while they sit in their ivory towers oblivious to everything that goes on... unless there is profit to be made!

I'd say the article I found is pretty darn good proof. You did get it wrong.
