I agree with 99% of what CFS has to say. Although, on banking, being an ex-banker, I would say that the EU can try and regulate London banking out of the EU and may be partially successful in that but London banking is not all about the EU so London banking would survive and may even thrive if it doesn’t have to comply with EU regs
You are perfectly correct,Nigel.
I expect Frankfort to take most of EU business away, but new banking business with the Commonwealth, which has the potential to grow faster as emerging market anyway should make up for the losses within a few years.
As long as Greece can borrow this cheaply, there is no reason for it to leave the EU.
Theresa May was a disaster for the UK economy, but that also means the turnaround could be dramatic

Hopefully, if Boris does not cave to deadwood Tories, a Hard Brexit (under WTO rules) will occur at the end of the year.
Then will follow serious problems with Spanish fishing in UK waters, because although the EU thinks they can keep their current fisheries policy, I don’t believe the Brits will allow continentals to keep cheating and deplete the stock. The waters have been so over-fished it will take possibly 20 years of light fishing to bring back the fish stock.
The Brits will start negotiating meat and dairy products with Australia and New Zealand.
As long as the EU supports very inefficient French farming, it will still be cheaper to import food from the other end of the world than across the channel.
The Achilles heal of the UK is the fact that London Banking accounts for about 10% of GDP. The EU can regulate that out of existence.
