    Were the 40% of immigrants who'd suffered racial abuse, abused by fellow immigrants then? Oh silly me <laugh>

    No, it isn't.

    An event E has occurred that has caused economic drops (share/currency values etc) .
    The various economies that suffered, took a time T to rise, and to a level L.

    So what did these "respected/credible" economists predict for T and L, and how long
    AFTER the event ??

    They must have had an opinion, so how right were they ??
    If they were badly wrong when E = CDO debacle, then why should their opinions be given
    any hearing when E = UK exit from EU ??

    If you check source, the author distanced themselves from the report because it didn't refllect reality. .ot of the information was unsubstantiated, for example, it claimed that every sporting event in the City had bananas thrown on the pitch and monkey noises. It cited a racist murder that was two immigrants falling out and people associated with some other claims denied them.

    Your picking the wrong argument to show your 'expertise' here trig.

    So far, the expert prediction on here was on Friday when the bint of doom looking less likely, the claim was 'let's see what next week brings' with the implication it would all turn to ratshit.

    Well, we're here. Little wonder you've bottled making any further predictions.

    There was a petition on "Making Tax Digital". It got enough votes for a discussion. The meeting was held in a committee room with MPs saying that there was a concern among people about what it meant. Gauke, the government minister in charge said that everything would be OK but he was unable to answer any of the questions put to him. It was a total waste of time. Seeing as the referendum had an Act of Parliament, I can't see the point of any discussion.

    It's not where they voted from. They have to be resident in Britain and give their home address. Are you seriously trying to defend the petition with what you said?

    You do not have to be resident to vote in British national elections. If you are registered to vote, as all expats can be for 15 years after they leave, you can.

    Although the ratio of women to men is not as huge as some would think it really is obvious in a night out and is confirmed by their attitude.

    I'm talking about petitions. I accept that the rules state "Only British citizens and UK residents can create or sign a petition" but I think some of the signings are very suspect.

    So the quote of "a survey of black and minority ethnic communities in Hull in 2001 found that 40 per cent had suffered some form of racist abuse" was incorrect then?

    A simple yes or no will suffice

    Why would randoms from across the globe choose to sign that petition?

    In any case, when was the last time any British petition got even vaguely near that number of votes?

    It's not going to make a jot of difference but its a very strong indicator of the strength of feeling about this issue that so many have bothered themselves to complete it.

    It just shows how irrational the people are. They take part in a referendum and when they don't like the result they sign a petition to have another referendum! It appears to be the actions of fools.

    The markets have stabilised due to the fact that Cameron has volleyed the invoking of Article 50 into the long grass.

    We're still a member of the EU who hasn't put their ticket it, as it stands today.

    "Stocks and the pound are continuing to firm but the post-Brexit reality will bite sooner or later," said Joe Rundle, head of trading at ETX Capital.
    "What we're seeing in the FTSE is hope in Britain being able to ride it out by remaining part of the single market. This looks like wishful thinking."
    Joshua Mahony, market analyst at IG, said: "There is a confidence within the City that perhaps the implications to this vote may not be as immediate nor far reaching as many initially thought, providing opportunities for bargain hunters to grab shares at a discount.
    However, he added: "The big question is whether the worst is over, and the answer is unlikely to be yes.
    "Sentiment is almost entirely dictated by unknown quantities for the coming months and even years, where the next major event coming when or if article 50 is enacted.
    "As such, having such a long period with this colossal cloud hanging over financial markets will be unlikely to help confidence and risk appetite."

    In fairness the delicious irony of it is, that it was set up by a pro Leave campaigner before the election.

    I've never seen anything like it in terms of numbers though. There's real disquiet out there about this issue. It's been a very divisive debate tbh.
