Yes, not learning from the past is what makes your future so sunny uplandish.

Re: Huge Investment from Abu Dhabi

Meanwhile back on planet Earth, more of the pro-EU lies and project fear are proven to be just that:

"City job vacancies jump 70pc as fears of Brexit exodus subside"

"The number of job vacancies in the City soared by 70pc in the first quarter of the year, despite efforts by Brussels to shift business to the Continent. ..
It came despite attempts by Brussels to seize greater control of Europe’s €735 trillion (£658 trillion) clearing market, which is dominated by London and is considered one of its most treasured assets."

Strictly speaking, nobody said that it was good news...

It's topical again.

Holdings of more than 40,000 hectares in London, Scotland and Newmarket make Dubai ruler one of UK’s biggest landowners

The controversial ruler of*Dubai*has acquired a land and property empire in Britain that appears to exceed 40,000 hectares (100,000 acres), making him one of the country’s largest landowners, according to a Guardian analysis.

The exact scale of his British landholding is not known because most of the properties connected to him are owned via offshore companies in the tax havens of Guernsey and Jersey. That raises familiar questions about the secretive nature of large amounts of property ownership in Britain, and whether it is structured in ways to avoid paying UK taxes when the properties are sold.

Rather Arabs than Chinese IMHO.
Either way though, they are investing in the UK.

I saw that on a "ticker" on both Sky News and Bloomberg this morning and thought "Way Hay. Way to go, City of London."

Re: Huge Investment from Abu Dhabi

Britain’s economic resurgence has caught the whole world by surprise

The numbers all point to blistering growth as the hit from Brexit continues to diminish each month


"The UK will probably regain pre-Covid levels of output before the eurozone, perhaps by Christmas. By the end of next year it may even have recouped the entire cross-Channel gap in growth since the referendum."
