future of ful passporting is fickle and subject to the whims of the regulatory players. anything can be traded anywhere but the guts of the transactional process is now in centrally cleared for risk management. the UK has the biggest clearing structures outside the US, 90% of the Eur denominated swap hedges are pushed across to london. the euro bourses and houses have been unable to dent this traditional process despite banging billions into the game. The participants can easily move to a secure EU jurisdiction clearer- it doesnt matter who, as the regimented processes are the same. at present, big euro players use london cos everybody always has done. where it becomes a pain in the arse to work through london, they will switch- and it is literally a switch of yer transaction routing to do this. this is a huge concern for the BoE ( a registered EUR clearer and depositary btw) and is currently all hands on deck to see how it can be averted. a few tempters from europe and cheaper processing costs could swing it very quickly. zzzzzzzzzzz i know

very elegantly put...the advocate for "light touch" regulation and freedom was the UK. I suspect a lot of financial services, particularly regulated services, with be on the move from London and Zurich (because, of course, they have lost their lobbyist, the UK) too Luxembourg and the like.

Effective control of financial transactions will be the battlefield meaning brass plates in European capitals won't be sufficient for regulators.

Me too...that's why I moved to Brazil. I delivered services in the EU with a hard hat and safety boots in my bag...that meets most customs officer's definition or "work" rather than "business" and may well need a visa from now on. The days of jumping on a plane to a shipyard in Germany then scheduling an unexpected trip to Gdansk on the way home may well be over. We're recruiting in Hamburg and Paris now, rather than London.

but this was the whole point; to go back to happier times. I would have thought Farage would have preferred to ban computers entirely.

Editor and I still reminisce about our Palm Trios...maybe someone could write in something about free roaming for Palm devices!

The UK government has not yet responded to the BBC's request for comment.

Maybe they should try emailing bojo@hotmail.com

I do admire this guys optimism that brexit at any point would have led to the world demanding vast swathes of British eels.

Liked because you posted this, but the post makes me sad

I love eels me / fascinating creatures- they are massively endangered tho.

Elvers cost a fortune.

UK performers raise alarm as Brexit deal threatens EU touring

Actors, musicians and comedians sign petition urging Britain to negotiate free culture work permit

It makes mention of carnets but they are not needed. Probably written a while ago.
Ivory inlays are an issue too.

I woke up this morning and heard IDSmith bleating on about how Brexit was a good deal. I've reached peak Brexit saturation. From any angle i've just had enough......of any of it.

What struck me about this was his reasoning for voting leave, summarised here as being about his own profit/access to larger markets. Not a word about what others were going to lose...his 1-2 mil turnover wasn't enough? Fuck him and anyone else who sided with UKIP.

jebus what the debate on the news this morning is just showing what a piece of crap parliament we have in this country

Another huge win for cunting Brexit.

In the UKIP video he was saying that being in EU stopped him from selling eels in other parts of the world. Im not sure if that was the case. Fits in wiith with what he was saying here. He thought that being out of EU would lead to being able to sell eels worldwide. Was EU really stopping him selling Eels outside EU?

There's a bespoke thread for this issue now. I've asked a question about paying tax on it but haven't had a reply yet

Not saying he isn’t a fucking idiot but I think the idea is that being in the EU prevented us from forming our own trade deals with other countries.

Can you give a link — I had a quick look and couldn’t find it in the more recent thread pages.

This is the day any pretensions to the UK making its own laws with parliament being sovereign die

Today marks the demise of any claim to parliamentary democracy in the UK as the government and their useful idiots in the labour party force through the agreement effectively unread and so unscrutinised

Brexit - impact on musicians, touring and the music/events industry

There’s a lot of rumour and half truths floating around at the moment, and there’s a lot of people on these boards it’s going to impact on, so I thought a thread to pull the various bits of information together might be useful...
