What’s the difference between the European Bank and “British” banks Tony?
That’s right I don’t have the slightest clue, like you.
A drop in a big pond is less damaging than a drop in a small pond. You don’t have to be a genius to understand that.
You have confirmed one of my original comments though. You’re clearly just repeating a load of stuff you’ve read, mashed them together and now it’s just noise.
Not sure why you don’t think the EU need us for anything. Certainly no one else has been suggesting that.
So explain.
Has London got stronger since the EU started up?
Not at all.
Did countries from Europe use London before the EU? Yes 100%.
The EU has done fuck all for London. But now it is just another pebble to add to the list on why we should stay in the EU. But those ruining the EU have fucked up this time.

Tony’s banking knowledge literally has me in so much laughter I’ve had to go to A and E as I’ve broke some ribs. His lack of understanding of the one factor that would bring the European Bank down versus the “british” banks is the stuff of legends.
Well done Tony

You was saying Mart?
Why don't you look back?
More lies? Yes. But not from me.
Arguing with myself?Going of on a tangent again. No one has suggested anything like that. It’s like you answer a post with what you which the post had said so you can have an argument about it. You’re arguing with yourself and I don’t think you even realise it.
London has grown of the back of passporting. In fact you would have to be an idiot...
... wait. I’ve just remembered who I’m talking to.
We all can see that you are clueless. Yet you still try to argue a point that doesn't exist. In fact several points. Then you expect to be taken seriously.What are you asking me for? Did I not just tell you I’m clueless. Ask astute. He can apparently tell you all you need to know on the subject.
From the original post and not afterwards on the single link like you said.The other link

No. Just trying to educate someone who is or is acting like an idiot.
So London has had other countries catching up with it on the financial side since we were guided into the EU because of passporting?
You are so clueless that you will be going on about passporting changing colour after we leave the EU :smuggrin:

But carry on Mart. Tony needs a hand here.

Has it?You are mad. London has grown with the EU. Why are they worried about losing passport rights? The EU haven’t fucked up on this. Nothing has happened and you don’t have a clue about what they are planning, or how far they have got. Do you honestly think that Banks in Europe are less informed and competent than yourself?
Bullshit.You reply to posts asking questions that bare no relation to the post in question. You then answer your own questions. You’re very much arguing with yourself. You’ve just done it again.
As I said what am I supposed to be clueless about?We can all see you’re clueless too. Difference is I’m not pretending I’m not. Unlike you.
Has it?
You will come out with any crap to make the EU look great and make out that it has made us great.
But since we got guided into the EU other financial cities have been catching us up.
How do you explain this if it is all down to the EU?

Do you understand inflation and how it causes revenues/tax/earnings to go up?What is the value of London as a financial capital today in revenue for the exchequer? What was it before the EU?
At what point did anyone say that London, the City, only exists because of the EU? Do you think sitting next to Europe and being a member of the EU is not advantageous?
Be doing a lot better if SISU moved out!What is the value of London as a financial capital today in revenue for the exchequer? What was it before the EU?
Read an article in a newspaper?It is not all down to the EU. It is only you that mentioned that. Saying that you don’t know how far the plans of European banks are, doesn’t make the EU look great. It just means you are jumping to conclusions after reading an article in a newspaper, and are not in a position to call the European banks incompetent ( as you call them ‚the EU‘ ).
Read an article in a newspaper?
I showed you a couple of days ago what Carney has said. And has been saying for most of the year. But now you are trying to reduce it to newspaper hearsay.
And best of all it wasn't from a newspaper. It was from one of the financial sites I read.
Yeah but no but yeah.......
Has anything happened? Are you more competent than the European banks? Does Carney know what is being planned?
Bullshit.
QUESTION: So me trying to give you a clue about something is talking to myself?
ANSWER: Oh I get you now. Talking to you is like talking to yourself.
And you can't even keep quiet when you don't have a clue about something and are either unwilling or unable to learn.
QUESTION: As I said what am I supposed to be clueless about?
ANSWER: It pisses you off doesn't it. Next you will be saying that I am putting words in your mouth.
Just wish I could put knowledge into your grey matter.
QUESTION: Are you saying that the EU isn't heading towards a massive disaster.......Or a small splash in a big pond as you call it.
ANSWER: You certainly have had a lot to say on a subject you don't have a clue about.
You just don't get it do you.Has anything happened? Are you more competent than the European banks? Does Carney know what is being planned?
He isn't.Jesus Christ people, you have the patience of saints. This bloke is obviously not well.
Ah so you are starting to understand. Yes political. Just like I have been saying. And as you know I have kept saying about it going together with a trade deal maybe. And if we crash out at the end of March it will create major problems.EU Will Not Ease Post-Brexit Market Access for UK Insurers, Banks: Official
Actually it sees to be a political thing more than an economic thing. In this Post it explains the attitude a bit. They don’t seem to be incompetent, more like refusing to change the rules to suit London. Firms are adapting, but they want the EU Commission to alter the rules. They don’t want to as they can keep control through ‚equivalence‘ which can at any time be revoked. Which is why Carney keeps coming up and wants to know what they are planning. It seems to hinge on whatever trade deal comes. Poker not incompetence.
Nobody knows what you are saying other than you admitting that you are clueless. Yet you still try and cause an argument instead of getting your head around what the problem is.Thank you for demonstrating what I’m saying.

The EU wants its own London. It would be in either Luxembourg or Germany. It could also be in Switzerland as they also have a base they could work off. But I can't see Switzerland being the favourite choice. They want companies to move to the EU.
But it isn't as simple as that. And the link you gave was only about a small part of it.
Then you have the problem of the workforce. They don't want to be in Germany or Luxembourg. They want to be in London, New York, Hong Kong or similar. Berlin might have a good chance in the future. But top bankers want to be in top banking cities.

Carney thinks Brexit is a crap idea. Why don’t you stick to that argument? You say the EU is incompetent. The only people that appear to be very incompetent are the ones who voted for one of at least 4 Brexits without thinking about possible consequences. We should have a second referendum with 5 choices. The current 4 main leave options: Canada + ( ++, +++ ), Norway, Chequers and no deal ( all of which are not compatible with another ), with remain as the fifth option. Let the people choose. I think remain would win hands down and become the current will of the people. Any other version would be a minority version against the wishes of the majority. Democracy? Yeah but no but yeah...
You are so pro EU that you can't see the truth.Carney keeps on saying it because he wants the EU Commission to change the rules to make life easier for both parties, but they are putting that off and saying firms should adapt their deals to allow continuation Post Brexit.
Berlin is not a Banking centre. It was an island in the middle of a communist country for 50 years, so that was impossible. Frankfurt is the Banking centre. Frankfurt is no comparison to NY or London in size, night life, culture or „way of life“. Paris may be more attractive, but it is not English speaking.
You called the EU incompetent. It has told the financial companies to make their contracts to allow for Post Brexit conditions. It is under criticism from German regulators, not only Carney, but it is all part of the Brexit negotiations. The problem would not exist without Brexit. But knock the EU for not doing what the UK wants. We are leaving. Other countries want to make the best of it. I don’t know why you are surprised and ready to blame them for us becoming a third country and therefore voluntarily not complying with EU regulations. It is a UK problem and they are probably going to lose some future business. Bad EU, good Brexit.
