I agree, the Tory party are in the city's pocket to a certain extent. I was just challenging Gordon Gekko Tree's assertion that hard brexit, if it hapenned, would have little impact on the city. I'm not sure why I bothered to be honest.

For every one of what you classify as a big banker, there are 10 middle office/back office/support staff. It will start with these roles first (many of banks had already relocated certain support staff to Eastern Europe/India etc prior to Brexit). These jobs will be first to be relocated to within the EU (including the middle and back office jobs which probably can't be relocated to Eastern Europe/India). While these are not the best paid banking jobs, they are still paid a lot more than most professions so this will result in a fair amount of lost income tax. Furthermore, the loss of these roles will have a knock on effect on the industries supporting them (professional services, IT, childcare, bars and restaurants, cabbies etc) so the impact will be multiplied. If the Tories go for the hard Brexit option and prioritise immigration controls over access to the single market then that will have a major impact on the city and lot of jobs reliant on it. In addition, the curbs on immigration will adversely impact the economy as immigrants are net contributors to the economy. The country could end up going backwards all because a few out of touch, racist (let's call a spade a spade) old duffers in the Tory party can't stand the fact that immigration enrichs our country.

I just had a look at some of the other stories on his Twitter feed. He's creepy as fuck. He's essentially a basement extension away from becoming Josef Fritzl.

Aye he's a repeat offender, a total and utter snidey little cunt. I'd hate to see him sign for us.

Aye, cheeky as fuck from Vogel. She's got thighs bigger than Roberto Carlos' so I reckon she must be on something too.

I have to say, my interest in the sport was initially piqued by a couple of the French players who certainly didn't conform to the usual female rugby player stereotype.

I've watched the cycling, womens rugby sevens, tennis, archery, synchronised diving, table tennis, archery, handball, canoeing, and, my favourite so far, the fencing. I love it, I think probably because it's so varied and the athletes are doing it for the love of the sport, quite often making massive sacrifices for their sport. I think it's also probably a lot to do with the fact that I lose more and more interest in football as the years go by (Friday night and the Euros didn't exactly help matters.

So they replaced Allardyce with Moyes, and get compensated from the FA too. Jammy bastards.

Very good book that (as 'Living on the volcano' by the same writer). The book is pretty scathing about young British players and their attitudes and desire. The only British prospects that any of the scouts rated are Sterling (this was written before he had broken into Liverpool's first team), Lascelles and Butland (although there were one or two question marks over him).

If that was her slogan then she'd probably walk it given the people who make up the tory party membership.

We visited an animal park. As you say, these aren't terribly happy animals. It involved an elephant playing football and a tiny monkey tricycling and playing basketball. To my eternal shame, I did have a little chuckle at the monkey on the bike although my Mrs was pretty horrified by it all. I have a memory of that the monkey had a tab in his mouth but I think I'm probably imagining that bit.

London would be fucked without them, people can see that the benefits of immigration far outweigh the costs. That's why London overwhelmingly voted remain. On the whole, the highest remain votes tended to be in the areas of highest net migration and the leave vote was higher where immigration was lowest. Given this, you have to ask how people in these leave areas developed such strong concerns about immigration, as it certainly doesn't appear to be from first hand experience.

The Aussies certainly know a lot about the idiocy of referendums. 55% of you voted to keep an OAP, who lives 10,000 miles away, and couldn't give less of a fuck about Australia, as your head of state. That said, that's not nearly as stupid as what we've just done.

Most non-EU banks are not just in London so can get round the passport issues through their operations in Frankfurt/Paris/Amsterdam/Brussels etc. If needs be, they can nominate one of these branches as their European HQ. It will have a definite impact of on Banking jobs as banks are never shy of sacking people but I doubt it will be as dramatic as that article suggests.

Are you sure you're not thinking of Andy McNab?

No official exit polls tonight but a number of banks and hedge funds have paid for exit polling (final and hourly) so they can trade around the likely outcome. The FX and equity markets will be a good indication of where we are heading. So far so good by the looks of it.

Voted remain. Everyone I've spoken to at work has voted, or is going to vote for, remain. The only evidence of leave I've seen is the vote leave stickers I've seen in quite a few black cabs. However, given the abhorrent views of a lot of the cabbies down here, I like to think that they are doing their bit for the remain campaign by turning people against leave.

Absolutely brilliant! It's great having Wales, Ireland, and Northern Ireland there too, it makes it so much more enjoyable. I think I celebrated Brady's goal as much as I did Sturridge's. A real shame that Scotland aren't there too. Roll on the second round: England v Iceland, Wales v Northern Ireland, France v Ireland, Spain v Italy, Croatia v Portugal.

I'm banking on most of the leave voters being unable to vote as they don't know how to spell 'x'.

Brexit is as low as 5/4 with some bookies. The odds are tightening. How depressing, Boristan awaits. I really hope the remain campaign have something up their sleeves over the next 10 days otherwise we are fucked. I doubt it though, as they have been worse than useless throughout the entire campaign. Getting rinsed by a campaign spearheaded by Boris, Gove, IDS and Farage is embarrassing.

Buy it now and have a punt on us remaining in the EU. That way any foregone income due to a rise in GBPEUR will be covered by your winnings. Alternatively, wait and have a punt on us leaving the EU. That way, any loss as a result of a fall in GBPEUR will be offset by your winnings.

That's all you could hear on the TV, they're an utter embarrassment, you did well to last the entire match sitting so close to them. I think they were banned from the 2014 World Cup. People might knock FIFA, but they do get the odd thing right.

I think it has been posted somewhere on here already but last month's Telegraph article about 'Michael Owen's Soccer Skills' is brilliant. Owen comes out of it looking like a real sad bastard. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2016/04/13/well-done-hes-13-revisiting-michael-owens-soccer-skills/

Pity is probably the only appropriate response.

He's definitely from down South, the grammar gives it away. There are thousands of tedious pricks like him here. They tend to support Spurs, Liverpool or Man Utd.
