Even if it were companies planning on staying here, that is very different to what we were warned would happen, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've earned a living by working for someone else all my life, probably as have most of the country's population. Does this by definition make us sevants. If so then yes I'd be happy to be a rich servant. As for poor masters. I've never met a poor master, well not financially. Morally poor, well that's a different story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok no problem but it was the only main concern I had about leaving the EU was the effect on London standing in the world of finance due to the amount of tax they pay and attracting business to this country.

In any case I'd expect that any such offices would be far smaller than you suggest and likely to be there, in part at least, to be able to take advantage of the possible/likely cuts in UK corporation tax post-Brexit.

Whereas everybody else will suffer from the cuts in public spending caused by tax cuts and the fall in overall tax revenues caused by lower volumes of trade after Brexit.
