I voted brexit Bruce but I agree with that , sooner have a hard working migrant than some of the low life we have around.

It does not mean that at all Bruce. It has nothing to do with the final deal, merely the transitional arrangements and companies only having to make one change and not two........
It stands to reason that they would rather not make a change at all, which is probably why all of those groups campaigned to remain.
Can't find the Forbes link now, but they use Mercer I believe which is:

"Frankfurt is culturally and ethnically diverse, with around half of the population, and a majority of young people, having a migration background. A quarter of the population are foreign nationals, including many expatriates."

Same. I have friends living in Frankfurt, Berlin and Munich. None of them speaks any kind of German beyond the basics.
I have 3 German friends living in UK. All speak flawless English and two are also basically fluent in French.
70% of Germans can speak English. By means of comparison, 95% of the USA can speak English even though it's an 'English speaking country.'

But don't you know how hard it is to find good people to want to? Oh and how hard it is to setup a business even if you are a multinational and possibly a global bank haha!!
Pete's tact has gone from it will never happen the banks leaving to be proven that its already happening then he moves onto well no employees will go because its a dive to then well don't you know how hard it is to setup a business etc.. then back to again its a dive.
Even though he spends most of his time telling us how evil Germany is because they are only about themselves and want their economy to be the best by using the EU. If that's the case the Frankfurt should have no issues not being a "dive".
I think he is in denial.
Most of these banks anyway in mainland Europe will use English as their main language anyway. I have worked in two financial institutions and several big blue chips in my lifetime and the employees in Spain, Germany and Austria and wherever else we had offices were expected to speak English, unless of course they knew for a fact it was only their own in the room.
It's what makes it easy for all of the help desk people to be centrally located in Ireland, Britain and India.
Of course they would have native support staff also but for the most part they would speak English.
Europeans like someone else pointed out mainly learn English from a young age.

Germany is an amazing country. Some fantastic cities and Bavaria is among the most beautiful places I've been. I'm sure the odd millionaire hedge-fund manager won't mind it...
Unfortunately a lot of Brits are self-deprecating and that shows in public opinion on the negotiations.
I think the German MEP in the embed on the following article absolutely nails it;

Indeed....
It's interesting that Germany seems to sell four times as much in China as Britain does, despite being in a body that makes trading with the world impossible.

About four years ago, Mercedes-Benz sold more S-Class cars into 'greater' Beijing than they did in the whole of Germany !!!
Useless bit of trivia, but gives an indication of the strength of German manufacturing.
That kind of sums it up for me. There are various 'ills' that Brexiteers have said Brexit will solve, but I'm inclined to think there are a whole bunch of things that could be done to achieve the same results without rupturing us out of the EU.

Germany invested a lot of money into China some twenty or thirty odd years ago specifically to sell cars and manufactured equipment. Lots of countries did and no one made any money apart from increased production and slightly lowering of cost of each item. The Deutschmark was the only thing holding it back as it was so strong against other currencies. The Euro fixed that for Germany. Manufactured goods sale to China will reduce as they copy or even steal designs so the things you will be able to sell in the future will be different, quality goods, financial services and technology transfers. The value of sales is one thing, the margin obtained is quite another......
