Nothing has happened? Really? Tell that to Ireland's largest bank, Barclays! Or one of Ireland's largest insurers, Aviva You are confusing two things there. Shifting assets and making provision. Ireland's largest bank is still a subsidiary of Barclays PLC, headquartered in London with shareholders worldwide. The profits flow back to London. Assets can be placed anywhere and they can be moved back at anytime. They are held on behalf of clients. Again, Aviva is a UK PLC headquartered in London. When all of this has calmed down the picture will change again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of what - I thought there was no effect on FInancial Services? Of course the picture will change again. In 10 or 20 years. But in the meantime consider all the time, effort and money that was wasted in the soft-shoe Brexit shuffe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manxman1980 Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Looks like Nigel Farage has forgotten he was elected as a UKIP MEP and since quitting UKIP has remained an MEP... Hypocrite? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And £150 million on its own might be peanuts, but when you start adding that to the £13 billion that Natwest are moving and the £6 billion and so on and so on... Thats a big pile of peanuts. no legal reason to move though......so nothing to do with exit....... it's like honda all over again........

The mental gymnastics you keep going through to deny the on going negative effects must be draining. and billions come in every week...... that's what happens when your the worlds no.1.......
