Re: Possible 100,000 city jobs to go

Negotiation, Negotiation, Negotiation. it will all come down to that. You seem so cocksure Flicker that we are the whipping boy and your Weber and co will make mincemeat out of the British negotation team over what is to be.

May I respectfully request that you stop being so smug about job losses in the banking sector in Britain. It not only effects those here but also throughout Europe. This isn't the first time the EU, especially your adopted country France, have tried this on with the Euro clearing houses being situated here. France indeed has always been jealous.

If it comes about then we will stand tall and take it on the chin. As others say, if it happens, it is an unfortunate aspect of us leaving. but it certainly doesn't warrant the point-scoring that you seem to delight so much in doing. With the state of unemployment figures within the EU, you hardly have much to shout about.

That's one of the many reasons those of us who very much DID know what we were voting for, voted for BrExit. The EU has become a totalitarian corrupt state and I want no part of it.



Again this is totally naïve. As stated above, we may not oppose the EU, it's in the treaty to which we have signed up. Aside from that, party politics here in the UK is an illusion. No matter who you vote for, whichever party, Lib, Lab, Con, you are still always voting for the EU. Every standing candidate is simply an EU placed candidate who will do whatever the EU tells them to do once in power. People should have long since learned that lesson when they stupidly gave Tony Blair the massive majority that they did. It very quickly became wholly evident that he wasn't labour at all and was instead . . . something else. He simply furthered the EU agenda, taking us into illegal wars and the like.

You need to wake up Vaniy. BrExiteers knew very well why they wanted out of the EU and it had little to do with immigration (nothing to do with it in my personal case). It had everything to do with the realisation that the UK and it's judiciary system had been sold down the river by corrupt politicians and sold into an equally corrupt totalitarian EU state run by equally corrupt megalomaniacs. It's been effectively WW2 all over again just a war by stealth, a war of financial control and the purposeful bankrupting of banks and organisations.

As the newspaper article recently headlined:

"Who do you think you are kidding Mr Juncker?"

Most of the UK has woken up to the brooding menace that was poised to eradicate everything that was Britain, everything that 10s of 1000s of men and women fought for and gave their lives for. Enough is enough. The EU is not about a common market and free movement, it is about the systematic dismantlement of countries, the purposeful bankrupting of countries so that they can take control. It's about the building of an EU army and the transfer of powers.

We ain't having it old son. Doesn't matter the price. We will stay free and we will do whatever it takes to stay that way.
Well said.

Re: Possible 100,000 city jobs to go

Frankly I have not seen such hysterical conspiracy theories in ages.

Tho when you don't understand how the EU works, I am not surprised.

and to then say the UK voted out NOT because of immigration is utterly astounding. However chief slippery U turn David Davis might say so.
