Berlin will gain the least. The city may lose up to 30% (google Euro clearing and ECB. I was always a big issue). It will move to Luxembourg, Frankfurt, Paris and Dublin. Possibly Scotland if Scotland decides to secede - a vague possibility

You can use google more or less via startpage.com Supposedly this should provide more privacy. Email is a different story. Even hosting your own does not solve much. You could host yourself and use GPG but even this does not solve the probl
