'The harder the Brexit the BETTER' Leave voter brands EU 'not fit for purpose'
A LEAVE voter angrily hit out at those predicting “doom and gloom” because of Brexit – urging a speedy exit from the EU because Europe is “not fit for purpose”.
Frustrated LBC caller says 'Europe is not fit for purpose'
Britain’s largest banks are reportedly preparing to move out of the UK in 2017 amid fears over Brexit negotiations with the EU.
Chief executive of the British Bankers’ Association (BBA) Anthony Browne also wrote in The Observer smaller banks could leave Britain next year.
The majority of banks supported Remain in the EU referendum.
However, when asked if he regretted voting for Leave, LBC caller Sanj launched a passionate defence of Brexit.
The harder the Brexit the better as Europe is not fit for purpose
Speaking to Ian Collins he said: “When we took that vote to leave you have to think for yourself.
“The pound is in a period of what I would call realignment… that was always going to happen.”
He continued: “Over the last few months I have travelled around Europe and spoken to people in business and they are fed up with it.”
Sanj, from Earlsfield, south London, even went as far to suggest the euro could crash once Britain actually leaves the EU.
He explained: “If we exit and the euro crashes then the pound is going to rally and these banks won’t be so keen to leave.
“The other thing is by the pound falling, we are seeing more and more investment come in from the Far East because the conversation makes it more justifiable for businesses to invest and that is creating jobs.
“We have taken the vote, we don’t need a running commentary of what’s what. We don’t need Theresa May to explain everything.
“The harder the Brexit the better as Europe is not fit for purpose.”
Responding on Sunday to reports of banks leaving Britain as a result of Brexit, Nigel Farage could barely conceal his anger.

Speaking to LBC he said: “I think the EU has really been damaging our financial services industry.
“I don’t really have much else than contempt for Goldman Sachs. After all, they virtually own the European Commission.
“The very, very big companies effectively own the political process, they can write their own rules for their own industry, which puts out of business their small and medium competitors.”
As Britain moves towards exiting the EU, with Article 50 set to be triggered in the spring of 2017, it has been claimed Brexit Secretary David Davis is a target for EU snoops.
The Sun reports the Cabinet minister has been warned over EU member states will be attempting to intercept his phone calls.
