Just like american manufacturing, there was no need to pay or subsidize anything, cheaper labor does than for itself

And speaking about labor, if you crash out of the EU, say goodbye to the rest of manufacturing, be it Jaguar, Rolls Royce, BAe or Airbus as it will be much cheaper and easier to produce in mainland Europe than continuing in the UK. Especially true for Airbus, who have to move personnel from one plant to another on regular basis, but that will become much more difficult after a hard Brexit. And that's after the banks leaving the City (many already doing so) since most went there to be trading in the EU

We have more of the top universities than all of the EU combined. Hell, even Australia, Canada, Singapore and Hong Kong do. Hmmm I wonder if they have anything in common.

Our financial sector leaving London for Paris or Frankfurt has been one of the funniest claims in this whole Brexit game. It epitomises how deluded EU-ers are.

@bolded: What does it have to do with Brexit? And where can I see those rankings?

Not all the financial sector of course, but a substantial part of it will do/is on the way already - like I said, those who went to London specifically to be at a financial center somewhere in the EU, and that ain't just a few banks
