It may be generally true for NY, LO, SI - but not as a result of Brexit to increase tax-take, but rather due to greed and profit opportunities of individuals that are less than honest.Originally posted by Old GregI admit I'm just a lazy, lying cretinous hypocrite and must be going deaf♕Keep calm & carry on♕Comment

The FCA changing rules is not 'the City' though - it's blatantly happened as a result of a word in an ear from Government.
Yes, bankers are dirty moneygrubbers and will look for all avenues of profit, but Brexit won't cause them to be anymore unduly illegal/immoral than they were beforehand - as we have seen from all the crooks caught over the last few years...Originally posted by Old GregI admit I'm just a lazy, lying cretinous hypocrite and must be going deaf♕Keep calm & carry on♕Comment
