Well, I certainly don’t believe that the Goldman Sachs executive in question said the opposite of what is printed.

I don’t see how you really could be a businessman and want such overabundance of government. These have to be politicians masquerading as businessmen.

That is the needle in the haystack comment!

The banks that will pull out of London are those, like Goldman, who are crony capitalists. They are working the EU system to make a living.

London is better off without them.

Kick them out and then invite REAL capitalist banks to move in...they can feed off the EU without being a part of it.

Thanks Olog-hai.

Michael Sherwood, a vice-chairman at the bank, said the prospect of a British withdrawal was a real worry given Prime Minister David Cameron’s plans to hold a referendum on the subject if re-elected in 2015.

Sherwood, but he ain't no Robin Hood.
