    Blood bath in the city

    Looks like it could get messy in the City.

    Tedious. WGAS. Those who are any good at something will get a decent job elsewhere, those who aren't will probably take your crappy role off you
    Hard Brexit now!

        By "lefties" do you mean those who think that a rebalancing of the economy from financial services to more productive sectors is long overdue?
        If so, I suggest you vote for someone other than Tories in order to get rid of that leftie, George Osborne.

          I dont vote Tory. What jobs exactly are there for these people to do? Or are jobs like money they grow on trees?

            ...

            There are plenty of jobs to go around.

            Limitless zero hour vacancies at MaccyD, Capita and G4S....

              Traders can run fruit and veg stalls. Quants can get on their bike and use their skills in Germany calculating drag factors for Porsches.
              What a cretin like you can't comprehend is that the hollowing out of the middle class in this country due to a lack of coherent economic policy will affect your livelihood too.
              As close to totally free markets (and this is the only country naive enough to have roughly followed that policy) don't work, only those that are "guided", like our competitors have been doing for years.

              HTH, BIKIW.

                He's not a leftie, he's just a towel-folding cretin.

                    they always say 'bloodbath in the city', I feel sorry for those working 10-14 hour days on some tulip work in finance that is so specialised and so worthless anywhere else that it will spell the end of their City / financial career once they get the chop. To be honest in most cases the banks are doing those people a favour, why throw your life away to one of those establishments .. come on ... there are better things to do in your short life.
