HSBC CEO Says Bankers Generating 20% of London Revenue May Move

The EU actually means something, though. It's a shared economic system. The UK is the one who's choosing to leave that system. So of course that means that ... drumroll please ... they're actually going to leave that system, which means that jobs that work inside that system now have to move somewhere else since London won't be in the system anymore. You're twisting yourself into knots to somehow pin this on the Europeans.

British people are Europeans as well. EU <> Europe. Leaving the EU <> leaving Europe (and I am not even British, but it still annoys me when people don't know what they are talking about)

Did you reply to the wrong person? I'm not talking about Europe, I'm explicitly talking about the political entity known as the European Union, which the UK is leaving. I said "EU", not "Europe".

It's a false statement. The EU wants you to believe that. It is entirely false. There is no "have". There is only "want".
