How do we resolve the Brexit mess?

well if you read the article it may help - certainly nobody pre-2016 claimed London's financial services were a backwater - not sure what could have happened between now and then that could change things - I mean financial services were not even included in the WA. Everything that they were told would happen is coming to pass

I read the article. Did you? The article seems to primarily bemoan make up of the FTSE.

I did read it and the point I am making its funny how a vibrant market that "led the world" has become a post Brexit backwater - I suppose like cross channel queues and staff shortages it all just coincidental where Brexit is concerned

It's the fucking public to blame. Using their votes like the referendum was strictly or an episode of the voice - blindly voting for what they wanted. Absolute cunts, democracy is wasted on them.

So you’ll agree that the article didn’t blame Brexit at all and, as such, the tweet you posted which blamed it on Brexit was utter horseshit on behalf of the tweet author.

Agree on these channel queues seeming to have something to do with Brexit and extra checks from what I understand. I was in France a couple of weeks ago, first time I’d used the eurostar since the Brexit deal and absolutely no issues getting in or out - didn’t notice any difference between before or after - accept I now had tax free shopping… was very enjoyable.

Didn't you notice getting your passport stamped and checked ? which is what 'seems' to be behind the queues.An artlicle not directly mentioning Brexit doesn't mean it isn't responsible.

You should also have noticed that it was considerably more expensive than it had been due to Eurostar now offering a much reduced service. And one of the reasons it cannot offer the level of service it once offered is down to the fact that the system cannot process the same numbers of people on account of the checking requirements. Therefore, while a similar type of service can indeed be enjoyed, I’m afraid those tax-free shopping benefits have to be set against the higher price paid, the restrictions in terms of travel times, and the novel inconvenience of passport control. Plus ça change, eh, plus ça change…
