The bank has had its headquarters in the UK since 1993 but makes most of its money overseas, and Asia accounts for the majority of its profit.

Most of the UK is sick of banks moaning how they cannot be allowed to fail and continually need money to prop them up. And how there needs to be a continual supply of immigrants to provide services like cleaners and nannies. Which the vast majority of the UK do not benefit from.
Working at a bank then *if* the report was true it would not be good for me personally. But then I get used to bankers continually lying.
The city has the critical mass. That will be chipped away at - for example CS setting up a trading floor in Dublin. One day critical mass will no longer exist - then the city will be stuffed. Brexit will have no impact upon that.Comment
