The UK splits with Europe - disaster looms

[sasguru]

And that is the very reason WHY our negotiations will result in our services NOT being materially affected.

The agencies that will decide upon that are not career politicos with over-developed snouts, all happily snuffling away at the EU troughs in Brussels and Strasbourg.
They are the hard-nosed pragmatic captains of industry that really call the shots.

Now for God's sake come back down to a reasonable altitude before you give yourself another nosebleed.

The Europeans have had covetous eyes on the City for ages.
Their hard headed pragmatism will ensure they try to fook it up so they can have a slice of the cake.
But you stick to your strategy of hope.

The Europeans have had covetous eyes on the City for ages.

Yes, and their eyes will remain green for the foreseeable future.

Their hard headed pragmatism will ensure they try to fook it up so they can have a slice of the cake.

So in effect, little change to the status quo. And doubtless with the same, predictable outcome.
