That isn't easily moved or relocated as it is a GLOBAL business and not simply EU related and the EU will have
to accommodate those facts.
Btw a handful of banks paying lip service to the EU by setting up two men and his dog offices in Frankfurt does not constitute a flught of the Financial Services industry.....Much as you would like that to happen, Swim.

There are ways to accommodate every need if there is a will on all sides to do so.
If we don't get a deal on all aspects we walk away and some Spanish farmers for one will be ruined , how will the awkward and greed EU commissioners deal with that.

If there is no deal, then it is WTO Rules, which exclude Services anyway.
As for Spanish farmers being ruined, the ones with most to lose are Ireland, Netherlands and Denmark followed by Spain.
It works both ways.
Locally we export vast amounts of agricultural products to the EU, 70 Artics a day from the big cold store.
All down to the skill and ability of our negotiators.

You are not the first to liken them to spoiled kids
I call them for what they are - traitors and quislings

Personally, I would call them 5th Columnists.
I believe that is a much more apt description.

HiIt now appears that David Davies' latest comments on the divorce bill and the signed agreement have not gone down well with the EU.

I call it the Trump Effect, everything seems to be done via Twitter at the moment or some other social media.
Easy to make a mistake as it is instantly viewed by millions.

The real stumbling block is our parliament. I'm afraid that there are many remainiacs in both major parties (and, of course, most of the minor parties are completely pro-EU).
If any agreement or intention to walk away relies on a majority vote in Parliament, it could be that we will be stuck under the jackboot.
If such proves to be the case, the future will show who was right and who was wrong. If we do force ourselves to remain, I just hope that we can somehow find a way to extricate ourselves later.
