... or 'punishment' by the EU.

This is not punishment, why should the European Union financial markets not be located in the EU?

 

When the UK chose to opt out paying for membership, it opted out of the benefits too, can you understand that? 

 

And if you ask me it's not very clever having "take no prisoners" Frosty representing your interests. This guy hates us so much he does not even say "European Union" but "your organization". 

 

 

I mean, if you want to have good and polite British-style diplomacy to make the best of a difficult situation,

 

like loosing 1.3 trillion in assets.

City firms revealed in the final months of 2020 that they planned to shift nearly £100bn in assets to the EU, taking the total value of assets lost to the bloc since the Brexit vote to £1.3 trillion, according to a new survey.
