[shaunbhoy]

So they lose their jobs then!

6000 * 50k avg salary = £300 mln gone, per annum.

Pah.....we'll get that back every week to give to the NHS...............

300k jobs lost in the City would about add up to £350 mln per week...

Quite possibly, but as it ain't going to happen there seems little point in stressing over it.

Might as well fret about a direct (ELE) asteroid strike which is only marginally less likely.

With luck you would absorb the impact.

Few, if any of whom, speak German or even wish to learn.

I have never studied German, but a quick look at some of the language resources suggest that German is really not hard for a native English speaker to learn. If my banker bonus depended on a few weeks of intensive language lessons Ich würde sehr schnell Deutsch sprechen.

Indeed. Yet plenty of Americans cannot grasp the basics of English despite it being (allegedly) their native tongue.

And as they are likely to remain the major driving force in world banking for the foreseeable future, it will always matter more that one has English as a first language.

You won't get far in this world assimilating the linguistic ability to simply order Bratwurst mit pommes!

But here's the thing, it never will.
