You what? You really imagine that poverty for banking bosses is a potential side-effect of Brexit?

just out of curiosity, should the fs be torn apart and a new fairer system not end up in place, how do you think that might affect pensions? what happens in the city - what happens to the city - will affect an awful lot of working people's futures.

Perhaps the music industry should be torn apart because of the obscene money Stock, Aitken and Waterman have made from it.

Oh OK. I must be wrong. It must be absolutely impossible to change anything (even though there seemed to be untold billions on hand to save the banking industry a while ago), so there's no pont even wishing for such a thing or a fairer society. I'll get back in line with the rest of you.
Hooray for the rich bankers! Let's clap for the financial sector! Save the CEO jobs! We need them!

They voted for Brexit. Now many British fishermen feel betrayed.
Fishermen complain of broken government promises, while exporters say they are choking on red tape.www.nbcnews.com
Why did the fishing industry vote for Brexit? – podcast
In June 2016, polls suggested that 92% of the fishing industry voted to leave the EU. Sam Wollaston spent four days onboard a trawler to find out why. Plus: Nesrine Malik argues that Hillary Clinton is wrong to claim that curbing migration is the answer to right-wing populismwww.theguardian.com
British fishermen fear they won't get what they voted for after Brexit
Fishermen who were some of the most vocal supporters of Brexit are worried they may not end up with what they voted for.news.sky.com
Why did 92% of UK fishermen vote to leave the EU?
Answer (1 of 21): As a person who was born into a fishing family, in a major fishing town where the main industry was fishing and its supporting industries, I can say this. Yes, the cod war damaged the industry enormously, the US pressure to yield to Icelandic demands of a 200 mile limit signific...www.quora.com
British fishermen want out of the EU – here’s why
New surveys show the overwhelming antipathy for the EU among UK fishermen.theconversation.com

Anything else that you care to be proven wrong on?
Still at least I've wound you up enough to spend the last half hour frantically googling, your clenched fists bashing your keyboard in rage.
In Scotland, five noisy families and their lobby group were in favour of Brexit. They own most of Scottish fishing. Banff & Buchan turned Tory on the basis of the issue. You know, your political heroes, the UK Tory Party.
Since the Brexit vote Fishing Brexiteers have disappeared like mice in the cobra cage of the zoo. This has left those involved in fish production and distribution, and logistics, to occupy the space with the obvious message that Brexit was a bad thing and that many in the above named industries had opposed it throughout. Strangely the media were not terribly interested in the views of these people from June 2016-December 2020.
Here's the chairman of the Scottush creel fishing association, for example, speaking very well on the subject:
Scottish fishing industry in ‘fits of despair’ over post-Brexit impact, says Scottish Creel Fishermen’s Federation
We spoke to Alastair Sinclair, who is the National Coordinator of the Scottish Creel Fishermen's Federation, about how Brexit is affecting the fishing industry in Scotland. We started by asking which was a bigger problem, Brexit or Covid.
www.channel4.com
SeafoodScotland and MarineScotland on twitter are much more representative twitter accounts of all shades of opinion in the industry. Yes, there was a noisy pro-Brexit lobby in fishing. They did not and never did speak for the industry as a whole. Places like the Broch and Peterhead face ruin because of the impact of Brexit on fishing. Saying the industry voted for the policy en masse so ner ner I don't care is insulting, lazy and wrong.

I do have sympathy for anyone, in more or less any industry, who finds their position more difficult as a result of Brexit, but also for those who found or find their position more difficult because of the EU.
And I disagree with workers in any industry who equate their interests with that of the industry in which they work.

though right now in the immediate aftermath of 1st Jan " sympathy for anyone, in more or less any industry, who finds their position more difficult as a result of Brexit," is the key issue

But even if it's true, so what?
The British fashion industry functions by exploiting people in Britain and elsewhere.
The "fashion industry", like all other industries, exists to make profits, not for the benefit of either workers or consumers.

I think it’s true for the “culture industries” as a whole.

I notice you have failed to answer this: Please point to the post where I asked you to applaud anything?
As to the financial services industry, I feel that the country works well with a mixture of industries, some that are unseemly but puts in a lot of money to society and others such as yours that don't.

Can't see Brexit stopping the City from its main business of funnelling wealth to havens beyond the reach of tax jurisdictions.

Has had a free trade agreement with EFTA since 2009.
So chalk that one up in the 'managed to get back to where things were in the EU' column.

We already have a trade agreement with Albanians. All our non skunk weed comes from there.

I always remember that The Morning Star used to have adverts in it from Progress Tours , a company based I think in Yorkshire. On a whim I sent off for, and received a brochure which had coach tours to Albania. In the midst of what seemed to very hectic and culture enriching schedule of visits to carpet factories and other industries and collective farms was the advice that hotels didn't have plugs for sinks so it was best to purchase a ping pong ball and that under no circumstance would people with beards be given a visa.
