    "And, incidentally, the reason meteorologists predict night to follow day but won't predict for how long is because the former is
    blindingly bleeding obvious while the latter is not."

    <fixed>

    I am here all day (me and George Soros have hedged eachother on when you will finally get it -
    I have gone "long" ) .

    Nothing to pay up on! The economy will suffer, no question. Given its current fragility, the chances of a return to recession are high indeed...

    Whatever!

    I give up trying to preach to the unconvertible. Those who want to join Gove, Nigel, and Barmy Boris's little army, go right ahead. Cut your own throats...

    An old article but an entertaining read.

    Note that it's written by someone with no agenda, unlike the pro-Leave articles which tend to be written by the official economic adviser to the Leave campaign or Nigel's brother.

    Countries usually don’t knowingly commit economic suicide, but in Britain, millions seem ready to give it a try. On June 23, the United Kingdom will vote to decide whether to quit the European Union, the 28-nation economic bloc with a population of 508 million and a gross domestic product of almost $17 trillion. Let’s not be coy: Leaving the E.U. would be an act of national insanity.

    Everyone has an agenda.

    Just a reminder that we have a massive trade deficit with the EU. In other words, we pay them far more than they pay us.

    Why Experts are Almost Always Wrong
    No one, not even the experts, really knows what's about to happen

    Blogger Eric Barker points out that political experts’ predictions are only slightly better than a random guess, and way worse than a statistical model. In fact, so called experts were better at predicting events outside their own field. Barker points to a study from the 1980′s, when Philip Tetlock had 284 political “experts” make about a hundred predictions. The study is summarized in the book Everything Is Obvious* Once You Know the Answer:

    Several countries want to implement measures to dissuade EU migrants, just as the UK is doing with benefit restrictions.
