The City of London Will Survive Brexit

There is much hoopla in the Remain leaning media about the potential demise of the City post Brexit. as ever, with the Remain camp, this scenario won't happen:

1 London is Anglo Saxon friendly both in terms of language and customs and practices; Paris, Berlin etc are not.

2 London has the infrastructure necessary for the 21st century financial services industry.

3 London has the cultural infrastructure (theatres, nightlife, restaurants etc) necessary to attract high calibre professionals.

4 London has the accommodation (offices and apartments) necessary to support the needs/size of financial services industry.

5 London lacks the red tape strangling enterprise on the Continent.

In short the City of London will survive!

Greek Bailout Frozen - The Greek Farce Continues

The wheels have fallen off the Greek bailout wagon yet again.

After approving a first tranche of €10.3bn for Greece this spring, of which €7.5bn has so far been released, the 19 Euro finance ministers were due to disburse the rest this month but are to withhold payment for the rest of the year.

For why?

Greece has only implemented 2 of the 15 agreed reforms that were meant to be implemented in order for it to receive the bailout.

The farce continues!
