David Frost - Jan 1
Huge congratulations to everyone from the British negotiating team from 2020 who received an honour this New Year.

I'm very glad to see proper recognition for those who worked so hard and did such a brilliant job for our country. They really deserve it.

A year since Britain severed ties with the bloc, the economic cost of Brexitis becoming clearer — and voters are noticing. One consequence is the growth of the EU’s finance hubs. Paris has become the bloc’s top trading hub, while Frankfurt, Dublin and Amsterdam are also emerging as hives in their own right, for different specialisms.

Still, Covid lockdowns are delaying how fast staff are relocating from London to the Continent, according to EY’s Financial Services Brexit Tracker. “The financial sector is still working through the hangover of Brexit,” said Omar Ali, EY’s head of financial services for Europe, the Middle East, India and Africa.

Before his resignation, Frost told the U.K. House of Lords that talks to give U.K. financial firms access to the EU’s single market after Brexit had been put on hold, kicking equivalence talks into 2022.

Ha! the good old days of Gold plated pension funds, when companies use't to provide their own in-house pensions.
Rather than now outsourcing to the far cheaper (for the company) rubbish personnel pension plans (PPP) provided by huge corporations that take their monstrous fees directly from the pensions they manage reducing the pension performance drastically.

Mine is down £105k almost solely on the two largest holdings SHG and BOO
Holding so many GOLD shares last year was a big mistake
The worm MUST turn.....we need a WAR
