And if it all does not quite pan out as Boris / Gove / Farage predicted; well, there’s always good old Covid.

Can't imagine it from those honest characters. Can't blame it on Covid surely, not when Michael Gove has been working all day everyday to get this sorted.

If anything, Brexit and our increased control should make it easier.

I hadn't realised this Pete, thanks for opening my eyes to it.

How many have moved to the UK specifically to capitalise on Brexit?

Why would you, you have no Board experience, nor have ever been either an MD or CEO.

”More than 1,400 EU-based firms have applied for permission to operate in the UK after Brexit, with over 1,000 of these planning to establish their first UK office.

The figures, revealed in a Freedom of Information request, are seen as evidence that the UK will continue to be a leading player on the global financial stage after Britain leaves the EU.”

What does your last paragraph mean? What is the "global financial stage?"
I speak of course as someone who has no "board experience or been a ceo or md"

A) you have no idea if I have or not b) It's absolutely obvious that people would use whatever opportunity presents itself to scapegoat (you do it daily).

So you can't make a single one other than inference...

London is one of the largest, if not THE largest market for all things banking and money. Due to an accident of geography, and its reputation/laws.

One fear was that post brexit, many institutions would hot foot it to Paris or Frankfurt. They may well do, dunno. But the fact that 1000's have opened offices in London is because they now have to. Most will be no more than a PO Box.

Have you read it, because I know actually reading anything other than Telegraph headlines is a major undertaking for you.

You get very irritable and insulting when people ask you for details...it's unbecoming Pete.

Ahh.... Banking and money, hedge funds, tax avoidance, money laundering, setting up offshore tax havens, betting against the economy for a profit.
The whole point of Brexit according to the loonies in the ERG.
