Absolutely.
These multi nationals, companies like Diageo and HSBC (Which have British head quarters but are a million miles away from being British companies), won’t hesitate for a second if we have a Brexit with no deal, to then re structure or move, if it meant their profits or share prices are affected.

I would guess that the majority of companies listed on the FTSE100 are multi nationals but it is project fear for you to suggest that they will all move with no deal. You don't have any proof whatsoever that this would happen. In fact many companies are already doing the opposite including one of my clients who works for Associated British Ports who are investing £36M in a new facility. UK companies will continue to prosper regardless of what happens with Brexit.

From your link. (A French News channel)
"Without explicitly mentioning Brexit"
The Financial Times reported on Monday that Philip Hammond, the Chancellor of the Exchequer (the UK's finance minister) told a group of British bankers in July that he fears that European countries led by France are trying to take advantage of Brexit to weaken the City.

Build a port in France to offload cargo then re-ship it to the U.K?

Yes and we’re still leaving Lol. I agree with you. We need to tell some people on here that the UK is leaving the EU in March. They still seem to be dissatisfied.

Mate do you even understand the report, reading between the lines they have simply changed their reporting structure instead of reporting to Peter they report to Pierre, notice no mention of jobs being moved relating to this. It must be time for citibank and morgan stanley to announce they are definitely maybe thinking about relocating from the uk possibly as its been a couple of months since they last did this.

I read it. Makes constant mental of Brexit and a no deal risk. Yes it does my point is there are no mentals of job losses, they have changed their reporting structure so these branches / offices report to a EU based subsidiary. Look up brassplating this is what the majority of banks will do the absolute minimum they have too.

Look up brassplating this is what the majority of banks will do the absolute minimum they have too. And one thing that's certain is that the service industry won't be moving in any meaningful way to Frankfurt. I spent a month working there when I lived in London - it was incredibly boring. Our German colleagues kept telling us about great bars and restaurants they were going to take us to, which would invariably be stuck on their own in some sleepy suburban street. The place is dead after 6pm and there is nothing going on. I can't see that they'll be able to get the numbers of people to want to relocate there. As you say, the service industry will just do the minimum required. If anyone wants a laugh take a look at this Frankfurt promotional video: For what it's worth I'm a big fan of the Krauts and we have long standing family friends near Lippstadt. And I'm not racist either - I've got loads of black friends 😛

The only reason banks will threaten to move jobs to there or paris is to save on redundancy. I worked a few months at rio tinto they had shared service centres in india, singapore and australia yet operated perfectly fine with no problems in the EU.

They're all just stoking the fires ready for when the MP's return to the House of Conmen after their Christmas break then all we'll hear from dawn to dusk is "People's Vote" ! Bliar, Soubry, Cable and Co. will no doubt be on every news channel possible spouting incessantly and then the MP's will reject May's Deal, No Deal, and then vote for a second referendum.
I don't know why they're bothering with the whole charade, they've been hell bent on overturning the real referendum decision since 24th June 2016.
