    EU membership and loads of money. Non zero sum game really.
    Yes, banks are going to move to a country with absolutely no history in regulating finance institutions.

        She has to get this done before brexit as after that the EU nationals don't get to vote.

        I don't think she will be allowed to have one before brexit though.

          And not in the UK or the EU.

          And a very small market.

          Sounds reasonable.

            yeah because they have always moved to Scotland before.

            Or are you going to compete with Eire to become a low tax payer economy and found the Scottish closed Jammy sandwich to compete with the Irish Double Dutch?

            some lies here about the banks moving south...

              Last time we were told it was no big problem if the banks moved south, now the prospect of attracting some is the dog's bollocks.

              Can't have it both ways.

                  The irony. A statement like that from a country that borrows billions internationally every year adding to the increasing debt.

                  A momentary collapse of my cognitive functions has robbed me of my disbelief. Back online shortly...
