"Global finance capitalism" has already isolated the UK point-of-failure for EU-concerned services and capital glows, and re-routed funds and assets management elsewhere in the EU27 (Paris, Frankfurt, Dublin, Luxembourg, Barcelona). For the rest of it, no change, and the UK is unlikely to lose its top spot as a turnplate for tax paradise offshoring.  I suggest that you bin your plan, which is a busted flush, and get restarted with a new one. Fast failure and iteration, Mr Boot. 10 hours ago, Car Boot said: The Brexit vote, against the clear instruction of the elites, has already weakened the European market economies and is leading to ordinary people questioning the sanity of being a part of a competitive economic system that depends upon perpetual growth to concentrate power, wealth and arms into the hands of the few. The only weakening of market economies that I can see, are attributable to Trump's isolationist protectionism, particularly where it involves China. Europe's very relative weakening is splashback damage from that.  The only weakening attributable to the Brexit vote to date, is of the UK: the continuity of the EU27's stats is looking much healthier than the UK's, and none of them have lost (estimated) GDP, unlike the UK.  Of course, recognising the above requires some degree of objectivity. Based on your haranging, I do not believe that you are capable of any objectivity.  Now then, back to first world problems in my 'weakening European market economy': Audi S3 or Merc A AMG?

Business will survive, the only people you are punishing are the poor, As to the arms, Might come in handy when I am protecting my hard earned property . You need to get over your sense of entitlement. carry on in your cloud cuckoo land, I guarantee it will get you no where. The poor are being punished while we are in the EU!  If you believe that the EU protects the poor, or that I voted Leave to get 'a bean extra' then you are even more out of touch than I had thought.

My understanding is that a great deal of money paid by the UK into the EU over the last 30 years was redistributed back to the UK to help regenerate some of the poorest areas of the country. I can point to actual examples if you want. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

They won't half cop for it if the likes of Rees-Mogg get their way.  BTW I notice you've ignored all responses to your assertion that "the 'plan', as you put it, is to administer a devastating blow to global finance capitalism." - including examples of powerful members of "global finance capitalism" who are pro-brexit.  I wonder why 😎 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
