For Britons, this idea stirs sentiments akin to what Germans might feel if the EU proposed a new tax on liverwurst, with the proceeds to go into the central pot. They also point out that, unless an FTT were agreed globally, financial companies would quickly migrate from London to New York.
对英国人来说，这个主意之于英国，就好像是对猪肉香肠开征新税之于德国，钱都被中央收走了。他们还指出，除非金融交易税在全球实施，否则金融企业将很快从伦敦逃往纽约。
