No one in the royal family, as far as I know....does a lot of talking in public on Tommy Robinson, or BREXIT. About a year ago, there were some stories that Prince Philip was very pro-BREXIT. Prince Andrew is noted as a remainer.
The ‘water’ on BREXIT is being carried by PM May, and it’s only in the past couple of weeks where the public grasps the May plan in details.
Maybe if crown authority was young and pepped-up...they’d have more interest.
You can chat with Brits and there’s still a varied opinion. If there is NO trade-deal worked out with the EU, a major mess exists. All of the EU members ‘gave’ away their trade powers (at least they believe that). It might shock the EU to reach the deadline, with no trade deal....then suddenly watch Denmark and Poland walk in with draft agreements in their hands, and have a trade deal done in 72 hours. The EU wouldn’t be happy, but that’s how screwed up the whole thing is.
The suggestio of Brit banks moving to Frankfurt? Well, it has slowed down drastically. Rumor has it that the wives of the bankers put their foot down and said that Frankfurt is a fairly boring city with no lifestyle (they are halfway correct on that). The wives hint that they won’t move and that suggestion might be a problem that can’t be resolved.
They're totally correct on that! More ferners in FRA than Krauts. Sucks!
There was a thread the other day about US corporations shifting their HQ from one US city to another US city. Of course, states offer tax incentives, and there is consideration of airport access, and housing costs, and quality of life, and access to talented labor pools, etc.
Someone noted that it really comes down to: “Where does the wife of the CEO want to live?”
I think there is more than a little truth in that.
