The financial services sector still brings in business, but HMG are
about to impose taxes on it.
For anyone with short memories - the investment banking part of the finan=

services sector has cost this country billions in bail out money which we
still haven't recouped. Any sympathy for it is misplaced.
No sympathy, but London is still the major financial transaction
center (New York is number 2, Chicago number 3). This is businesss
the UK can hardly afford to lose.
If we're not taxing it sufficiently then what benefit does it serve? A few
thousand jobs is chickenfeed in the scheme of things.
In the bigger picture, every industry is chickenfeed. A billion Chinamen
might consider the entire UK population to be pretty negligible in the
grand scheme of things.
gulp Chinamen?
