Care to address the question about insurance business moving to the EU and the adverse consequences for the UK economy and future standing for the City of London?
I have been standing up for my country by calling this problem out for the last few years.
The deluded ones are those people who kept saying: “it’ll be fine”; “the EU needs us more than we need them”; “the City of London will flourish outside of the EU”.
Patriotism is about doing the best for your country - even if the message might be unpalatable. It is not sticking your head in the sand.
I think it was good of you to turn down that offer to become Governer of the Bank of England as you clearly know better than him.
You obviously do not want to read what he says but, err, essentially he is saying “it’ll be fine” and “the City of London will flourish outside of the EU”.
Why would anyone say “the EU needs us more than we need them”? Why should that be important? It is in everyone's interest that both sides do well as independent parties as we will be continuing to trade heavily.
Eventually the EU will realise that it can not behave like a control freak towards other countries, ex-members or not.
