NOW that the turkeys have voted for an early Christmas (to leave the EU), it is becoming clear, as I predicted some weeks ago, that the EU is not looking kindly on the result of our referendum.

Other members are already calling for the UK to be made an example of. We may lose the London financial services sector which contributes 80% of our tax bill.

Let’s not forget the result is not a landslide and is only advisory not a legal instrument. Perhaps the game’s afoot.
