    The City is okay

    Now basically a freeport: The City may thrive despite Brexit, but the rest of us won’t | Simon Jenkins | Opinion | The Guardian

    This is what individuals should do, declare themselves as a freeport...
    Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

      Indeed this is just a short term measure. It will probably get harder as they turn the thumbscrews.

        Until the rest if the world will really get serious about cracking down on money laundering and tax havens. London will be in fact a kind of Cayman Island.

            The UK will be okay. Because the city will be okay.

            Though the UK unemployed will end up as slaves to the US Investment Bankers.

              The cushy jobs will be moved to the EU, the City will keep the 16 hours a day jobs.
