    Ah yes, the "Business advantages" of Paris....................assuming you can get there if required in one of the few windows of opportunity where the French Air Traffic Controllers are not out on strike, or the farmers have not blockaded the ports! No thanks!!

      And what britain offers now? Sorry but i think from the point of foreigner it is:
      - massive political uncertainty
      - economy that is due to go into recession
      - hate crimes on the rise
      - overcrowded, overexpensive london
      - possible lack of access to the single market / passporting rights
      - god knows what doom(tm) is coming

              You are right. If it is political certainty you are after, best you head to France right away then.

                  Paris was never a threat, I suspect Frankfurt would be the front runner.
                  It's got the office space for a start, business is conducted in English, and I noticed that if you get plonked down in the business district, it's virtually indistinguishable from the square mile, complete with English and Irish bars .

                    Are you even able to have normal conversation? Because instead of bashing my arguments you immediately proceed to bash me
