nevermind, neoliberalism has had it 159 Posted January 5, 2021 Anybody who voted to stay in Europe should not be punished by the punative rigmarole negotiated at the last minute by a cabinet of nincompoops. As for the ports. they are fighting each other for Government hand outs. Gt. Yarmouth did not get a ferry service, because Harwich objected to it, becauise they would have had to share some of their funding with the outer harbour shambles. Felixstowe is now too small for the volume of sea traffic wanting to land and Liverpool has a finite dock space. The answer is we can't cope, as four years aren't enough for us to prepare properly. Useless cabinet will have to go, Williamson is a liability, as is Hancock. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bill 1,788 Posted January 5, 2021 59 minutes ago, Herman said: European share trading flees London on first full day of Brexit, FT. Quite disturbing read 'London’s financial sector started to feel the full effects of Brexit on the first trading day of 2021 as nearly €6bn of EU share dealing shifted away from the City to facilities in European capitals. Trading in equities such as Santander, Deutsche Bank and Total moved to EU marketplaces or back to primary exchanges such as the Madrid, Frankfurt and Paris bourses, according to data from Refinitiv — an abrupt change for investors in London who have grown accustomed to trading shares in Europe across borders without restrictions. Business on London hubs for euro-denominated share trading, including Cboe Europe, Turquoise and Aquis Exchange, shifted to their new EU venues set up late last year to cater for the end of the Brexit transition. The volume amounted to a sixth of all business on exchanges in Europe on Monday. “It’s been an extraordinary day. Shifting liquidity is one of the hardest things to do. It’s not ‘Big Bang’ — it’s ‘Bang and It’s Gone’. The City has lost its European share business,” said Alasdair Haynes, chief executive of Aquis Exchange. Although not the City’s most lucrative business, the departure of the share trading will mean less in tax receipts for the UK government. Mr Haynes also noted that it could encourage companies to list in the EU to benefit from smoother, more active trading conditions." https://www.ft.com/content/a434b756-afe0-454d-9d70-ef2d42ea8d55 "But the UK’s trade deal with the EU largely omitted financial services.

horsefly 4,301 Posted January 6, 2021 1 minute ago, Bill said: “Never argue with an idiot. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.” Wise words!
