Brexit DOOM™: Bloodbath in the City

[squarepeg]

In the early days, mass slaughter of hundreds of thousands (equivalent to tens of millions today) and centuries of exploitation.

Then as time went on it became more and more authoritarian and bureaucratic with price controls and ever rising taxes

Something to ponder upon...

I wonder at which point brexiters will notice their house is on fire.

brain deads don't notice anything

This threat too easily simplifies a complex relationship between trading and location across global markets. There are solid reasons to believe that these calls will be counterproductive and consequently, not acted upon.

Brexit is counterproductive, yet it's happening, so EU will have to react - euroclearing will certainly move back to EU within 10 years, most likely a lot sooner. They can start by introducing transaction tax on clearing outside of EU, that would give financial incentive to move quickly.

Has anything bad happened yet? Lots of talk of bad things that might happen, can't find any actual bad things that have happened.

People are still shopping, buying houses, going on holiday, going to work, etc. All seems stunningly normal.

Well, except here in General that is....

Yes it has, AutoGlass have as of today spend 4 weeks trying to replace the windshield on my car and they may take another two. I blame Brexit ;-)

In less important news, myself just like a number of other business owners are talking to Irish accountants about opening EU-based businesses.

In even less relevant news NHS is loosing EU nurses and doctors, but that's not important, my windshield fecking is!

At what point will remainers notice they are the poaching frog?

The smartness of a pale mango can be uncharacteristically ascertained by the ergonomics of the late nineteenth century bamboo typewriter, whose ribbon has been bitten by a gibbon in heat.
