      So what?

        So they'll retain access to the EU marketplace from NY several time zones away rather than moving to the EU?

        Nurse! Nurse!

          And rightly so, given the uncertainty we face. Why would anyone expect otherwise?

            Have you voted to leave the UK yet?

            Just out of interest, if you vote 52 / 48 to leave, is that a big enough margin?

            And if the majority in parliament don't want you to leave, should they be able to vote against it even though the people say otherwise?

            Still waiting for you to work out what happened to Unilever yesterday.

              No one cares about the expectation. Everyone cares about our debt from international lenders increasing our interest rates after the downgrade. If the markets get so much as a whiff we're struggling with our debts it'll be GAME OVER

                I don't believe any of them will move out. They may relocate some functions, but nobody is going to move lock stock.

                Just like Unilever yesterday, and every other entity that has an interest, they are playing the politicians to gain an advantage for themselves.

                  You really haven't got a clue, have you?

                  Try reading what the CEOs of these banks are saying. Do I need to do everything for you?
