Puggie Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Somebody better tell Dublin, Paris, Frankfurt, Barcelona <...>: they've all been rolling out the plushest red carpets you ever saw to the British financial industry, and are beginning to hoover financial services from London right now. LOL at the headlines and comments about it! With or without Brexit European cities on the continent are constantly competing for business. The fact is London isn't just Europe's #1 financial centre, it's the world's #1 financial centre. There are more people employed in our financial services than the entire population of Frankfurt! Many of London's "pull" factors are completely unaffected by Brexit such as being at the heart of GMT giving it a timezone advantage and the fact that it's an English-speaking city. Bankers at the top of their game will have become accustomed to London's cosmopolitan lifestyle of rubbing shoulders with politicians, business moguls, and celebrities alike. None of this changes post-Brexit. So in a nutshell you recognise that the leaders of the negotiations are buffoons, and you're praying that we have some really good backroom negotiators who can bale them out? Put it this way, it's window dressing. Brexit isn't the 'prize' but simply the means to an end. Without an act of war the European Union (Germany) cannot stop Britain leapfrogging the continent and repositioning herself to become an Atlantic power with the help of the United States. There's a much broader geopolitical agenda that goes beyond Brexit. There's deep resentment for the way Merkel has hijacked the union to advance Germany's agenda. Germany might have the EU wrapped around its little finger however it cannot deliver security for the continent like Britain can and we've been reminding them of this. It wasn't an accident that security was put on the table in TM's A50 letter. The message to Berlin..do not take Britain's role for granted. This is very much the message from Washington too.

Brexit was supposed to be the forgotten and voiceless making themselves heard and wanting an end to globalisation and a better life for themselves as a result,so now you are going to tell them that Brexit was just a means for the UK and Trump,hand in hand, to become an Atlantic power and thumb their noses at Germany,so the voiceless and forgotten are expected to be dancing in the streets at this news?

Hairyloon Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 I suppose the analogy, complete with talks of "divorce" settlement, is apt... It did occur to me that if we were to run with the divorce analogy, then perhaps we should have a trial separation before the divorce, and see how it goes... No idea how that should work though. If Putin had devised a plan to divide the EU that would be it. I'm sure it is just coincidence that the biggest Brexit facebook groups are all fronted by a chap based in Moscow. Putin would've been more subtle... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
