  • Quality over quantity.

    The chemicals are used in food. We would know they are harmful, the same way we discovered popcorn lung...

    The risk is reduced by 95%. What don't you understand?

  • No, the market is in London. The button gets pushed in Paris is all.

  • None of that says it's worse than smoking. Smoking gives you cancer.

  • Source?

  • Some countries are bilingual. We are the only binumerate.

  • The profits get booked in London, the markets stay in London

  • I didn't say that. I said the EU needs the UK more for access to a global financial hub. The military aspect has just become a lot more relevant.

  • Why is that the measure the OBR uses then?

    Literally from your source lol

    The OBR forecast is for a 0.27% hit to growth per year over 15 years mostly due to a loss in comparative advantage. The days of comparative advantage are over.

    What's not in the forecast is any benefit from regulating using common law, which is worth at least 0.7% extra growth per year

    In 2001, Professor Paul Mahoney demonstrated that countries with legal systems based on the common law not only have more developed financial markets, but also experienced faster economic growth in the second half of the 20th century compared to civil law countries.36 Based on data from 102 countries, the analysis shows that between 1960 and 1992, the real per capita GDP growth for common law countries grew, on average, 0.71% faster than the civil law countries.

  • It's what the UK brings to the table militarily. Do you not think that's relevant with Russian and American direction of travel?

  • If we joined a customs union, we'd be allowing the EU to set our tariff rates. No thanks.

    What about the cost benefit analysis of being out of the corrupt CAP crap? It takes the largest chunk of budget, rewards rich landowners and is an environmental disaster.

    A bit more important than protecting the sale of shit-filled whelks to the French

  • The only politicians desperate to rejoin have no hope of being in power to do so

  • We should have defaulted to EFTA, the Tories couldn't accept that so they chose a harder Brexit than necessary.

    Labour is just negotiating areas we can align on without sacrificing ability to regulate key competitive areas.

  • The UK firms just beefed up desks in the EU... They are all fully compliant and operate within the EU. Like LCH SA.

    How can the EU stop those firms?

  • That's not my point at all. We are allies. We don't want to outsource our lawmaking is all. We can make our own rules, common law is more flexible for innovation, our risk appetite is higher than continental Europe.

    We are devolving power in the UK, not centralising it somewhere else.

  • Deadlines for what?

    London clears 900 trillion euro a year in derivatives alone. You need us more than we need EU (not Europe, we are part of Europe, just apart from). We still have the biggest navy and unfortunately we are entering a time where might is right.
