This line always amuses me."“The luck of geography has helped because most of the big market moving news, whether in the U.S. or Europe, has occurred during London’s trading hours,”
There is no luck in it, Britain built the modern world and the systems used by it. GMT just being one of those rather important aspects. The UK really is the centre of the world and most people dont even conciously realise what advantage that brings.

Government borrowing 12.8 billion lowest since 2002
government surplus 2billion highest since 2000
Because brexit....
Well, the Government is now taking an extra £2000 pa in tax from me and thousands of other business owners no doubt. So I am not surprised tax generation is higher.government surplus 2billion highest since 2000
Because brexit....
Bugger all to do with brexit or the economy.

I'm pretty sure the UK would be the same number of hours ahead or behind the rest of the world even if we had Paris or Rome Mean Time.
Thats the luck continental Europe are riding.If it were Japan that colonised the world it would be Asia benefiting from the luck of the central point in time zones and world language.
Luck has nothing to do with it with regards to why the UK has this advantage.

No wonder big business wanted to stay in the EU. Anyone else get an internal email from the big boss before the referendum trying to sway your vote?
