That they can send 56 MPs to Westminster with less than 5% of the vote is ludicrous.<br /><br />Mind you, while they're able to return all those MPs, we're safe from a Labour government, so, swings and roundabouts.Charlienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32841798.post-11627000274585042232017-01-31T17:53:47.440+00:002017-01-31T17:53:47.440+00:00Shades of Gordoom's endtotoryboomandbust.Shades of Gordoom's endtotoryboomandbust.Blue Eyeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16556174219724957585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32841798.post-8176944691014061852017-01-31T17:42:43.014+00:002017-01-31T17:42:43.014+00:00An SNP MP was on TV today describing a "Hard ...An SNP MP was on TV today describing a "Hard Tory Brexit".<br /><br />I had to press mute at that point.Charlienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32841798.post-24115310893670565232017-01-31T14:09:56.669+00:002017-01-31T14:09:56.669+00:00Love the epithets someone dreams up - Hard Brexit,...Love the epithets someone dreams up - Hard Brexit, Soft Brexit, Brexit with nice curly bits.

The US Banks have a big dilemma, none of the Execs they send to Europe want to work or locate their families anywhere but London. At the moment, strikes are threatened and even enacted every time Paris is mentioned. </i><br /><br />But this is straight out of a fake news fairy story. The yanks in particular love Paris from a quality of life and lifestyle point of view.

Barclays have already announced that they are moving their brass plate and a whopping 1.5% of their staff to Dublin. Presumably others will do the same.<br /><br />That leaves London with 98.5% of the existing "back office" functions plus whatver new business can result from a proper review of regulations and taxes to suit the UK and the UK only. <br /><br />It all sounds catastrophic!Blue Eyeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16556174219724957585noreply@blogger.com
