JP Morgan is telling everyone in London who signs a new contract that they may be moved to Europe. I don’t think the City wins this fight.

JPMorgan Chase & Co. is pushing about 300 London-based investment banking staff to sign fresh contracts confirming they’ll leave the U.K. in the event of a no-deal Brexit, people familiar with the matter said. The employees, who work in areas such as sales and risk, have been presented with contracts in the last week that demand they relocate to a European Union country such as Germany or France in a no-deal scenario, the people said, declining to be identified as the details are private. A spokesman for JPMorgan in London declined to comment.

JPMorgan’s plan mirrors those of other financial institutions that are gearing up preparations for the U.K. to leave the EU. Bank of America Corp. last month began moving about 400 staff to its expanded European operations, and other banks are moving similar numbers. This month, JPMorgan opened a new office in Dublin to house an expanded post-Brexit Irish workforce, with Chief Executive Officer Jamie Dimon helping cut a ceremonial ribbon

The idiots that voted for it, listening to con artists with no idea what exiting the Eu would mean for their economy. Every professional Brit I know thinks it’s asinine.

This “ we are going to recreate the British empire” bs is priceless.

The empire was based on theft, that ship had sailed even before WW2.
