I hope im wrong but......in a previous world, I was a local on the LIFFE trading Bunds. I remember the build up to the Germans launching their own electronic trading platform. Well, everyone dissed it and it started slowly but, as momentum grew and people realised the reality of the situation, business left the LIFFE to migrate online. I suspect Brexit is the same; diss its effects all you like but the real economic impact will be properly understoo and felt a year or so after we have left - and yeah, once again I'm bearish how many 'pits' will still be trading! Hope Im wrong.....

It's all good though cos the gammons will be ecstatic and we won't have so many immigrants, well worth the price, I see our Trade Secretary has been making an arse of himself again today, we're becoming the laughing stock around the world and all to appease a spat in the Tory Party and right-wing populism, how sad.

Is that the bit where he admits immigration won't be cut by much or that our exports can be increased by 5% of GDP by a few adverts on the TV?Vanden Saab said:

In the month when self-employed workers pay their taxes, nice try. The country is not in a healthy state economically, business is freaked over Brexit, but hey we're taking back control, no deal is better than a bad deal, the optimism around the country is so refreshing, ( said no-one). government surplus 2billion highest since 2000

Back to the same ignorant nonsense from the usual suspects (operating under a different username).
Never mind!

Wasnt that just a matter of timing? The Germans built their electronic platform well before LIFFE got round to it. Basically LIFFE dropped the ball. Not many (any?) open cry trading pits left are there? As London seems to be the centre for electronic financial systems developments these days the situation just isnt the same as the one you described.I suspect Brexit is the same; diss its effects all you like but the real economic impact will be properly understoo and felt a year or so after we have left - and yeah, once again I'm bearish how many 'pits' will still be trading!

No. I think you need to read some history. I suspect that WW2 (for example) was a somewhat larger shock to the UK system. Pody said:

Yet all the evidence suggests that as people get older (and wiser/more experienced) their support for the EU falls. So if us oldies are going to be dead by the time of the next vote (let's say, 40 years?) then there will be a new cohort of people who have become older and wiser ready to vote for staying out.

Masters in what?
So you’re just a student with little experience of the real world who has never had a real job? That makes sense.

1. You must be oblivious to your own name callingks up and we rejoin most of you will be dead. 2. Your understanding of history is fundamentally flawed
3. Do you mean “Country’s history?” Standards at university are so much lower these days! Poor punctuation too!
4. Your last comment betrays so much ignorance
