    Sorry, I didn't mean on here. I was meaning bits and bobs I've seen at different times. I'd only be posting whatever I found on google.

    You derided my post that out lined by view on the economic outlook, failed to challenge any of it, and labelled it as simplistic. So **** off with your attempt to re write the chain of events here......

    I've now moved on btw.

    Boris is backtracking even further on migration in his newspaper article.

    @HRH Custard VC you voted for a lie by an unelected liar. You've been utterly mugged off.

    Doesn't matter. Nigel said "so what?" so it will be fine.

    I've not judged anyone, have I? I just don't think us leaving the EU, whenever that formally eventually happens, will spell disaster for anyone who does rely on trade. The pound might tank- I don't honestly think it will. Yes the £/€ is worse than a week ago but it's better than five years ago and about the same as two years ago. Events of the last week are a short term shock. A million other things can and will drive the economy up or down.

    It'll all be sound, we just don't know what sound looks like

    Ignore the economists they're all kill joys, think of the end of the Polish supermarket.

    Brexit voters now want assurances they'll still get the same grants as the EU gave them.
    They should be told to **** off, if they don't want london money going to europe, so why should it go to Wales and the north.

    Alright you ****ing bastards, my daughter has just dropped a bombshell.

    She just came in, sat down and said "I won't be able to get Magic Stars!!" After I looked at her like she'd gone mad she says "I won't be able to get them anymore because they're not sold outside the EU!"

    I spat my tea out in laughter. I want another referendum you tossers!

    Disclaimer... in case you don't know what magic stars are....

    I don't disagree with most of this Tobes, which is why I ultimately decided to vote remain. My ideal scenario is that it implodes and re-surfaces in a way that serves us all equally.

    I am not convinced about it being an effective trading block, it doesn't seem that way to me. However, your knowledge is greater than mine based on you running what sounds like a successful business.

    I do agree that it has been imposed by those who generally don't care and don't give a ****, in terms of the consequences, but both sides are equally as guilty of playing dirty.
    I sure that in the same way there were "out voting" people swayed by that racist Fararge, there were " in voting" people swayed by Cameron's and Osbourne's constant fear tactics over the economy.

    Whilst it will be no comfort, history is littered with the minority ****ing it up for the majority.

    Erm...the pound has already started to tank. Down 10% vs the dollar. 8% vs the euro. And still dropping....

    It will be highly volatile, but this ain't over yet. Not by a long way!

    There you go again, blaming the minorities <whistle>

    Tbh it would be a lot easier if we had strong leadership. The trouble is we don't which makes the whole thing even more scarier. I thoroughly dislike Blair, but at least you knew Teflon Tony was a strong personality who could drive through his agenda. If he was PM right now, I think the country might hate him, but at least they'd have some confidence in him. I have little or no confidence in anyone right now, not the government or the opposition.

    Labour need to get on the phone to David Milliband and the Tories need to search further than Boris and May!

    The potential replacements are a long way from being suitable. Anyone with the skills needed right now, will be bright enough to stay well clear of the front line.

    Just watched that on the news, it made me howl at the idiocy.

    The assumption is that the net contribution we made will be used to cover the same projects that the EU funded.

    Only our net contribution to the EU was 0.4% of our GDP and yet the most optimistic prediction of how much our GDP will shrink post Brexit is 1.7% - the highest being circa 6%. So the net 'saving' will almost certainly end up being a net loss to the treasurys purse.

    Our Higher education systems R&D, innovation and economic development schemes were virtual completely funded by EU cash. Gone.
