BREXIT - Is This Really Still Rumbling On? 😴

I think the Uk knew very early that they were fooked on gaining anything for FS and so have rightly not wasted time on a dead end. I suspect that the lack of chatter about automotive means that industry is screwed as well.0

Not as simple as that. A serious competitor needs the skillbase, the infrastructure, the attraction for senior FS types to want to live there, a reasonably business friendly environment etc. Any suggestions?rjsterry said:

Do you think the creation of the SM was good for the City?
The SM helped the EU part if the City's business, but as mentioned, look at the bigger picture: the City is a global fonancial centre (arguably the largest) and the EU market is not a massive part of that (and shrinking in relative terms)."I spent most of my money on birds, booze and fast cars: the rest of it I just squandered."

As you say, everyone can lose. There doesn't have to be a winner. I'm sure someone could spin it as expansion in cross-border tax and compliance advice.TheBigBean said:
It's kind of tricky if you need to go to multiple cities. You can argue that everyone is working remotely so it doesn't matter, but it is still multiple legal jurisdictions. If you want to use common law, then you need to go to Ireland (and probably borrow UK lawyers), but then Ireland doesn't have the equity, so you'd have to go elsewhere for that (usually a big City, like London, so who knows where now), you could then borrow money from a nice lender again not in Ireland (so let's say Germany, regulated by Germany), maybe you fancy a swap or some other derivative which will now clear in France (under French rules) using an Irish law ISDA. When you've finished all that you'll need some tax advice due to all the cross border trade and the complete lack of any consistent rules in the EU. Alternatively, you could go to a one stop shop like London, New York, Singapore etc.rjsterry said:

Rendering tax advice re one country from another country has never been difficult as you probably know."I spent most of my money on birds, booze and fast cars: the rest of it I just squandered." [George Best]0 -
I'm suggesting that some of that volume of trade will just cease to exist when it is no longer profitable, rather than it moving somewhere else. Whether that's the EU's fault or ours is rather beside the point.Stevo_666 said:

EU commission response to letter
“We can confirm receipt of a letter from the First Minister and Deputy First Minister of Northern Ireland on the issue of agri-food goods brought into Northern Ireland from the rest of the UK. We will reply to this letter shortly.
“We are aware, of course, of the concerns raised regarding supermarkets and the import of food products into Northern Ireland.
“We take this issue very seriously – in the same way that we are taking very seriously every single issue regarding Northern Ireland.
“We are currently exploring all options available under EU law. Discussions on this will continue with our UK counterparts in the Joint Committee and the relevant Specialised Committee.”
This is being reported as either a positive development as they are taking it seriously or a slap down due to the last paragraph.0 -

I think I have to give the Mountain Lifestyle one last try. If it comes off it's literally double the money for a job I like, I'm good at and is in a place I love.
To be honest, losing it because 52% of Britons don't like brown people would be devastating so I have to try.
I suspect I'm just going to pi$$ my savings away and get into an even worse position than now but...We're in danger of confusing passion with incompetence
