Europe remains the key to Britain’s future economic success
The Franco German competition certainly helped the UK with settlements, but there hasn't really been a proper drive to attack the City, not with amateurish campaigns to entice banks away, but a proper drive to establish regulations that would destroy most of the City's business, which actually heavily depends on access to the EU. Back in the days before Brexit there was certainly a lot of fear of losing passporting rights. 'Significant' risk to UK firms if passporting rights lost after Brexit https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2016/sep/20/passporting-rights-brexit-uk-firms-fca-eu But again the EU showed leniency. Nevetheless, even without any concerted European effort Brexit has taken its toll. Amsterdam has now overtaken London as the largest share trading centre. IPO listings in the UK are down. However, none of the European competitors can offer a volume like London, so none are serious competitors for IPOs. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/28/business/london-financial-center-ipo-europe.html Expertise, yes, there is no doubt the City has far greater expertise than Frankfurt, Paris or Amsterdam combined, one need only look at the failures of the German regulators in recent history. And people do prefer London to Frankfurt and Paris for various reasons. Only some pockets like London. Go to Harlow and you'll think you're in a dystopian Horror movie. Yes, but a weakening of the City need not mean it does no business at all, just less than Frankfurt. Besides the UK has pharma and many other sectors that are still employing fair numbers. Well, we see in the US that such losses can be born, especially by larg markets like the EU and the US. Neither really need the UK all that much. -

Another Lazada scam story
Ordered a set of men's shorts from them. Ordered size XL which is advertised as 31-33 inch. Items arrived and it is size 26 so not just a small scam (pun intended) Since I'm travelling overseas tomorrow, I quickly opened the return request. Great was my surprise that after you have filed the return request, the seller get FOUR days to decide if he will accept the items, which are clearly not as described. Contacted Lazada and explained my situation, but it is as if you are talking to a wall, because they just tell you to wait 4 days, and if seller doesn't respond, we will approve the return. Yeah right, I will ask the flight to wait for me 4 days. Never seen a platform where the scammer get days to decide if you are allowed to send back the items with which he scammed a customer. To put salt in the wound, Lazada just emailed me that they have added tracking to the return request, so I know when the 4 days have passed and I can then proceed to ship the items back. Are they plain stupid or just a professional scam organisation? -
