If Fillon wins the French election, he's basically a Thatcherite proposing significant reductions in tax and no doubt a much lighter touch on financial regulation, throw in TGV wine fuelled weekends to the French Alps or Riviera, then the idea of shifting your trading operation to "gay" Paris could become an attractive proposition.

Nah sold 2 BTLs I bought in the late 90s and stuck the proceeds (+ some legacy money) in non-sterling accounts abroad.
Post brexit when I buy the county you live in, remember to tug your forelock as my Bentley passes you by.
