Don't think you can put this one down to brexit Dave.

As for the story you posted, it's a 2 + 2 = 5 scenario. Typical archant **** stirring a perfect normal situation.

The market is now starting to factor in Brexit, however as you say the it's now pretty much where it was when most people where predicting we would stay in. The politicians have got lucky when ever anything goes wrong economically then can blame it on Brexit for the forseable future, but the truth is many, many other things will effect the economy i.e. terrorist events home & abroad, Trump getting elected, the living wage, increased stamp duty on second homes etc, etc, So form now on expect everything that goes wrong with the economy to be blamed on Brexit and anything that goes well to be down to the Tory goverments handling on the economy.

Not sure that I agree that the effect of Brexit will be tiny at least in the short to medium term but this kind of supports the view that Brexit will be a convenient excuse.

We are not in recession and it is by no means guaranteed that we will go into recession.

The definition of recession is a period of temporary economic decline during which trade and industrial activity are reduced, generally identified by a fall in GDP in two successive quarters. So we will need to wait for 2 complete quarters to pass until we know.

I am not wrong about a recession - we are definitely in one.

Sorry Rob couldn't help posting this, just put it down to my lack of 'intellectual honesty' and dismiss it.

So, MPs are to discuss a 2nd Brexit referendum - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-37271417

MPs are to debate a public petition calling for a re-run of the EU referendum which has attracted more than four million signatures.
The petition calls for June's Leave vote to be restaged since neither side won more than 60% of the vote in the poll and turnout was below 75%.
It comes as Brexit Secretary David Davis prepares to make a statement to MPs about progress over the summer.

He is expected to say leaving the EU will offer "new freedoms and horizons".

All rather pathetic really, should 4 million peoples signatures really count enough to over rule 17 millions votes? 4 million is only about a 1/4 of those that voted to stay, surely this also indicates that there is a degree of acceptance from the other 3/4's?
Will the vote to leave stand if the new vote were to attract less than 60% from less than 75% of the population? And must we keep voting until remain wins?

This probably belongs on the Brexit thread, don't want this one to go into political melt down!

Bah!
 
Yea, I wasn't sure and didn't want to start a new thread. If you see this Cromer, can you move it please??
 
Shame Rob couldn't just accept that he got some things wrong rather than disappearing from the forum.

Still not convinced we are going to get the type of Brexit the public voted for. The establishment are desperate to try to square the circle of matching the public's expectation whilst maintaining their and big businesses interests of changing as little as possible. I'm starting to think a hard exit wouldn't be such a bad things. I think the EU and Germany / France in particular have as much if not more to lose than we do. In terms of football I don't think Brexit will change things much unless the PL / EFL choose to place limits on how many non UK players a team can have, which I think they should be able to do once we leave.

Erm, the FTSE250 is more or less exactly where it was in September 2015 (today 17,000 almost exactly - Sep 2015 high 17,150 and low 16,600)... As I said, it's on a clear downward trajectory (rather than taking individual peaks and troughs) since precisely the time of the election. Normally a majority government would help keep it buoyant, but most market commentators agree that Brexit uncertainty since the government announced they would hold the referendum is largely the culprit.

and a few months on FTSE 250 almost at a 5 year high & well above the immediate post Brexit levels (now 18,455) , although I don't doubt it'll be up and down like a yoyo over the next few years
