        What possible reason could there be for companies to pack up and leave the UK?
        Aren't FTSE earnings mostly global now anyway?

        Oh yes. You were being ironic. I woill accept my punishment. A night in the Heathrow Thistle

            Those Global companies are mostly financial, being listed in London means something. What could happen that would take that meaning away?

                The plan in this case is to do the opposite of the views expressed here.

                  In which case it sounds like a very good plan. Whatever Scooty says, do something else. Anything else, in fact...

                    In 2017 Scooty said - why is no one buying Bitcoin? At the time it was around $700.
