Warns the LSE!

HA, HA, HA, HA FOR A GOGOL.

They should talk to the Canuck of The BoE, he's changed his tune now that his and Osborn's 'data' has been shown to have no substance at all.

Oh the Remoaners, not going well is it, all these lies and 10 years of no money?

If I remember correctly, Manchester, Glasgow and Edinburgh were important financial centres after London.

The 2016-17 Times World University Rankings ranked LSE at 25th globally and placing it 5th in the country.

I think everyone accepted that there would be job loses as a result of Brexit and the uncertainty we will be living under for years. I thought the Leave voters considered it a fair price to pay.

Seems EU's tough negotiator Barnier has indicated this evening, that EU will need to retain full access to London's financial markets. The City may need to employ more Bankers rather than less.

Interesting times.

The LSE always had the reputation of being the political rebel but in all honesty Warwick has taken that trophy in recent times.

That said, it would be foolish to write off anything based on a perceived view of a University. The LSE is a well respected establishment with a whole spectrum of ideals. I know many a right-winger who has graduated from LSE.

I assumed that the “Leave Voters” were more concerned about the SECURITY - Property, Life/Health & Job-Security and did not care much about the Int'l. Economy.
