Please tell me who wrote the above for you ... such sanity cannot have come from you, can it? |

it's not just the fact that most countries that the UK could trade with already have deals locked in with other countries and they involve years and years of cross trade.
Part of the arrogance of the British as successfully exploited by the Brexit Mob is that for some reason the rest of the world would simply drop the deals they already have because, well because Britain is Britain.
And then the pesky matter that there are NO British Trade Negotiators as the EU has taken that role and it's estimated the UK needs at least 5000 to conclude deals that may take years to negotiate.
Australia lent the UK 5 negotiators for training- now recalled to work back at home.
And one day someone may come with an answer as to what this "sovereignty" claptrap is that people think they are getting back.
Not only is it a fantasy, it sounds like a concept that means different things to different people..such as those market stall holders in Margate who bizarrely think their market will again thrive because they voted Brexit.
## Nigel Farage will go to jail as Russia's role becomes more and more apparent in the Brexit campaign. Let's hope it's in the USA. |

Quite right ... also probably less investment will follow too (as the bankers - now in Frankfurt - will want to keep a close eye on future deals) |

The word 'could' is prominent/recurring in that piece!
With over 1 million people (also quoted) employed in the financial services industry in the City and UK, the loss of 75,000 doesn't seem that significant.
A bigger threat is computerisation, allowing bank branches to operate on a skeleton staff.
With machines giving/accepting cash, processing loan applications/mortgages, dispensing foreign currency etc.
