    They (ING) are moving the activities of some 50 investment bankers to London. They said the move is logical at the moment but essentially provisional, depending on what sort of post-Brexit deal the UK is going to make.

    It's remarkable in a way, as ING issued pessmistic warnings about Brexit before the referendum and said they might move their activities out of the UK in that event. Then again, the real Brexit is probably still 2 years away.

    surely is remarkable, I really don't understand it. It comes as a complete surprise

    2 years is a long time in banking. Perhaps they think whatever happens, companies will need very expensive advice. If at the end of 2 years the roles are not required they'll move again.

    Bankers and hyenas operate to the same set of rules.

    Rory is correct about the banking advice, the investment banking arm will operate most likely well because of the availability of capital, given that companies will now have to decide what to do with it if they do not invest any more in the UK.

    Been to:

    Swords Made of Letters - 1938. The war is looming in France - and Alexandre Reythier does not have much time left to protect his country. A novel set before the war.

    A Painted Shield of Honour - 1313. Templar Knights in France are in grave danger. Can they be saved?

    Who cares what the consequences are - as long as you can bill for the advice.
