    Who says I don't want to hear them?

    Who says I doubt it?

    I'm just laughing at the duplicity of some of the so called facts.

    So you're advocating us departing not only from the EU but from a free market economy?

    Shall we aim for subsistence farming and trade in goats? <laugh>

    What we're seeing isn't some mystery, it's global business and the markets reacting to events.

    The pound has tanked post the seeming insistence of the Tories to put immigration before the economy and thus take the hard brexit route. As a result our currency is seen as a poor long term bet and the markets are bailing out of it.

    Business hated uncertainty and plans accordingly, they've seemingly taken May's words as being warning enough that we could lose our single market access and are therefore being risk averse by reacting to that seemingly strong possibility now.

    None of this is rocket science and it was all predicted prior to the referendum.

    The issue of the commons / Lords vote is a side show, and doesn't counter the risk currently perceived in both the manufacturing and financial sectors.

    Seemingly yes.

    Otherwise what alternative were you suggesting when you posted this?

    Such a flimsy system is better off dismantled and replaced with something more robust and with less excitable reactionaries involved.

    And Tim Brooke-Taylor will feel that he can now pass on the union jack waistcoat he used to wear on The Goodies.

    Squirm alert.

    I'll try again

    What did this actually mean then?

    Seriously? You thought about that before posting it and still thought it was worth doing?

    No squirming Mr Scarecrow. You're just off on the wrong tack..again.

    That it's time for radical changes, as the current system will only do what it has and fluctuate from crisis to crisis.

    Not for long, no. I didn't realise you placed such a high value on thinking.

    I'll ask again, what system can replace a free market economy in a solitary country operating on a global stage?

    You didn't ask that last time, and it's not the scenario I was relating to. It's why I said you're on the wrong tack..again.

    You keep on telling people what they mean, and then arguing why they can't mean it , even if they didn't, and then adding little bits to each reply instead of trying to discuss things.

    How am I on the wrong tack?

    You said;
    Such a flimsy system is better off dismantled and replaced with something more robust and with less excitable reactionaries involved

    Which by definition means that you're saying the current free market economy doesn't work, I simply asked you what the alternatives are, and in my original reply made a joke about subsistence faming and goat trading.

    So enlighten me, what alternative to the free market economy are you advocating?
