    Brexit DOOM™: Exodus

    "Up to 20,000 finance workers could be lured from Britain to Paris 'within weeks'"

    "Europlace, which lobbies to promote Paris as a financial centre, is set to argue that it is the best-placed European city to absorb London’s workers, and better suited to the job than Frankfurt, which employs fewer than 100,000 people in finance, and Dublin, which employs just 30,000."

    Up to 20,000 finance workers could be lured from Britain to Paris 'within weeks'

    "Brexit - the biggest, dumbest self-destruction of value after World War 2"™

    DOOMED!!!

    Up to 20,000 workers could be lured to Paris from Britain’s finance industry as a result of the UK’s withdrawal from the European Union, the French capital’s lobby group has said ...
    Guffaw!

    Nobody but a handful of suicidal lemmings will be lured to Paris before the French election result is known in March.

          Q. Is it best to drive or take the train to get at all these lovely jobs in Jeopardy?

                Go Arnaud!


                https://www.yahoo.com/news/socialist...-business.html

                PARIS (Reuters) - French firebrand socialist Arnaud Montebourg said on Wednesday he would levy a supertax on banks to raise 5 billion euros ($5.2 billion) if elected president in May and that he was prepared to nationalize a bank too.

                The 54-year-old, an outsider in the race who was economy minister early in the current Socialist government, made the policy promise ahead of a late-January primary contest for the ruling party's presidential ticket.

                "The five biggest French banks made a profit of 25 billion euros last year, so I propose a supertax of five billion euros," said Montebourg.

                The stance is evocative of President Francois Hollande who called the financial sector his "enemy" before his election in 2012.

                  So far we have the same 20,000 people relocating to 15 different EU countries to do the job of the few dozen people needed to setup offshoots of banks based in the UK.

                    We need a Doom Gloom Boom Room so that snowflakes can be helped to adjust to the new financial landscape that nobody knows but newspapers are trotting out as gospel.
