As the European medicines agency, the EMA, prepares to move from London to Amsterdam the pungent scent of money being burned blows down the Thames and over the sea to Amsterdam.
A £354m lease means an empty building in central London created from the ashes of Brexit will stand tall snubbing its barren nose at us as we pay the bill to leave.
It's only a small part of the £40billion but it's also only a small part of a gigantic drugs industry.
Let me guess, the building is held in trust offshore, so we won't even get taxes.
It really is that simple. The brexit divorce will cost us a lot of money. Brexit is a divorce full of waste. If ever there was an environmental disaster it is approaching.
900 jobs moved to Amsterdam. 400 may not move. That means we have unemployment pressures while the EU welcome 500 new taxpayers 
and the prospect of 400 new jobs.
Drug companies large and small are bound to find a way into the market. They won't wait on the governments they will have offices and manufacturing in the EU you zone.
Gross figures in the EU show the growth is rising and is it any surprise. Few manufacturers will declare they are moving out of the UK but clearly they are. This is why Brexit is boom time for Europe.
It'll not take a brave person to ask for another vote but a brave one to do it.
