London losing all the financial services to the EU will be something else. The entire country will go tits up without it. It's like Wall Street moving from New York to Canada. The ramifications are huge.

The short term impact is the UK running out of food, fuel, and medicine within 1-2 weeks, depending on which part of the country you live in. London financial services kinda pale in comparison.

The "trade agreements' are less trade agreements than benefits of being in the EU and its economic zone, and come with certain requirements (free movement, adopt the euro etc.)
You leave or refuse those requirements, you lose those benefits.

Now the UK, back when it was an actual economic power, negotiated a very, very lucrative deal with the EU, one that left them not needing to fulfill a lot of the requirements of EU membership and left the UK the major benefitter of the deal.
Now if they go forward with brexit they lose all of that, and have to trade to the EU under WTO rules, which are much more restricting thanks to various tariffs and procedure, unless they negotiate a new trade agreement, which they will be doing from a position of major weakness, and facing a shitload of bad will since the UK right wing have spent the last 20 years pissing on the EU, and are not trying to make things better now.


Oh and without free access to EU economic zone the financial sector of London makes no sense since it literally will not be able to operate at a fraction of its current pace.

Rigged Death Trap mentioned the more long-term consequences, but the extreme immediate effects comes from the fact that the UK does not have near the capacity required to process imported EU goods post-Brexit. Trucks will basically just pile up at the border crossings. I think the UK can get around this by simply just letting them through, but then WTO rules basically says the UK becomes a free for all for every country in the world. So I guess what I'm saying is; Trump is gonna take credit for a great deal with the UK in a little less than a year.

if we could summarily deport every single person working in Wall Street the US’s culture and politics would improve drastically overnight. we could have people actually invest in themselves and their future at companies instead of pulling whatever dirty trick they can on a quarterly basis to make a white private equity chud happy

our company works like the sword of Damocles is hanging over every person’s head and we’re gonna get hosed raw by competition that’s actually investing in their business in the long term, and people don’t give a gently caress about what they’re doing because they know the day some rear end in a top hat in NYC wants another yacht is the day they’ll be sitting outside with a pink slip in hand (myself included)

In some ways this is even more damning of Brexit than us electing the Dotard. Yeah, America hosed up real good listening to racist Music Man, but the people handling Brexit are theoretically well educated career politicians. And they can't find their rear end with both hands.

They should continue not negotiating.

Then they should hold another brexit referendum after enough time has passed, like "Oh, we're about to start finalizing this, but it's been so long we don't know if it's still the will of the voters, whoops it failed by a lot, we still love you EU"

But this decision hasn't translated into worker anger directed at the president. An informal survey of workers during a smoke break at the [Harley Davidson] factory by the FT found that most - if not all - support President Trump's bid to revive American manufacturing by instigating a trade fight, even if Harley's EU sales have risen as a percentage of the company's overall sales in recent years.

...

What's more, several workers appear to agree with President Trump's assessment that the company's decision to move production is "just a Harley excuse" after Harley closed its plant in Kansas City. In other words, the company is taking advantage of the EU tariffs, and opportunistically "blaming it on Trump."

Asked by the FT whether they blame Trump for Harley's offshoring decision, most workers said they only blamed the EU, and that, regardless of the fallout, it wouldn't change their vote.

I agree with them to an extent. Harley obviously wants to offshore its business and shutter expensive American factories, but they can't do it without a good excuse because they have to be careful not to gently caress their brand.

It does in a world where there are flat costs and no tariffs. Once you introduce all these stupid fees, and it suddenly becomes cheaper to make it somewhere else and then ship it back over and STILL be cheaper, than you move your plants pronto.
