Basically this will replace the jobs she expects to be lost in the City. Ex investment bankers and Fin Tech developers will be able to move into the tourist industry, serving in restaurants and cleaning linen in the hotels.

Singapore, New York, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Chicago, Shanghai all doing well in investment banking, don't think many of those are in the EU either.

We spent the brief period when the workers were actually working building the Vauxhall Viva (badly), and the Austin Allegro (really, really badly), and the rest of the world still haven't stopped laughing.
