It is simply a matter of being honest in your dealings and keeping your word. Obviously if you don't then people will not bother with you. Wise words Steely, in our personal lives it makes sense to try to make our word our bond. But the international stage works under one word....power.

Isn't it funny how he very same people who wanted to ignore the Brexit vote are the very same ones who are urging Trump to accept the result gracefully. The never ending hypocrisy of these people is quite astonishing. Edited by Hrolf The Ganger (13 Nov 2020 11.54am) Exactly the same considerations in play!!!!! British democracy in rooted in Parliament. People like me wanted Parliament to exercise it's authority. US democracy is rooted in the separation of powers enshrined in it's constitution and the election of a President every 4 years. It has done that. The hypocrisy is all yours. I am a democrat.

There is a reason that London is a financial hub and that is time zone, if the issue of passporting can be sorted I can't see the financial hub moving from London because where money is involved the big banks would have been leaving in droves already in my opinion if there was any hint of a threat to profits. On hour is hardly significant is it?

Switzerland is tiny compared to the UK and has played a traditional tax haven role sandwiched between bigger states at the heart of Europe. The Eurozone is a red herring. That we as a country didn't participate made no real difference to the city. London as a cultural and tourist attraction won't be affected in the same way but is hardly likely to be the magnet which attracts hard headed business minds. Who won’t and indeed didn’t like the sound of transaction taxes Germany but mainly France wanted. France tried to play dirty to get institutions to move to Paris and failed.

What a joke. This court claiming claiming 'international law' is little more than a funded treaty that only has power over its signees and can only take action against those that aren't protected by the powerful. The organization has no police force or enforcement body. Oooh I wonder why....is it because 'international law' is in reality just a buzz phrase? Let's see: The US isn't a member. Fine words without power. Edited by Stirlingsays (13 Nov 2020 12.16pm) You don't have to be a member to be brought before the court. We are though a member. You ignore it at the risk of irreparable damage to your reputation. Our reputation being a trusted partner whose word is our bond. You don't need physical power to exercise control. Should we be brought before the court for failing to honour a treaty, and be found guilty, we could suffer economic sanctions and the refusal of other partners to co-operate with us until we complied. Risking our reputation, established over centuries, is foolish in the extreme so the threat of a referral to this court is very much more than "fine words without power".

I mean, lets examine your sentence here: 'You don't need physical power to exercise control. Should we be brought before the court for failing to honour a treaty' What? You most definitely do need 'physical power' for crimes like 'war crimes'....which presumably is what this court is meant to deal with. How have these people been brought to the court then! Tickle sticks? Edited by Stirlingsays (13 Nov 2020 12.57pm)
