Off Topic EU deabte. Which way are you voting ?

I'd bother reading that in more detail if it came from someone intent on discussion rather than one that just comes across as a meaningless pompous arse trying to chuck out pithy personal abuse as a pretence of superiority.


As it is, I knew the simplified version you've posted, but it misses the point in a few places.

 

The trouble is that as Tobes said, those two years (even the next 3 months) will bring uncertainty. Uncertainty can lead to a snowball in a lack of public confidence. That could lead to a downturn. I might be wrong and it might all blow over. What I don't get is how you're so confident it will blow over and that there is no chance that we'll snowball into a financially worse situation. BTW I'm only going by what happens when we have any uncertainty in the market. Example, we had China last year suddenly reduce their forecast for growth and the market dipped and are still only just recovering. That was minor compared to seismic change we've just undergone.

Imagine for a second we did go through an economic downturn and it impacted on jobs, homes, banking, I am interested to know what we'll be doing to deal with that.

 

All you do is repeat the same version of misery, no matter what anyone posts.

 

Code for: I'm out of my ****ing depth and know I have no reasoned response to that post, so I'll swerve a response by claiming he's being an arse for having the temerity to challenge my one eyed clueless ramblings

 

The only industry sector I know that can cause negative self-fulfilling prophecies,
or when they don't meet their own vaguely contrived predictions, run around like a herd of
headless sheep. And cost others millions in the process but not themselves.

 

American and other foreign news feeds have differing opinions of the cause of the dip to the simplistic versions some tub thumped on here.

 

I'll take your word for it. It sounds like your area of expertise.

 

And also have self interest groups at the helm.

 

It's reality! You just choose to put your own spin on it.

What Tobes posted, although a simplified version, is a likely scenario.

Uncertainty is an economy killer! The markets, investment, and public confidence. So long as that holds sway, which looks like being for the forseeable future, the country is going to suffer.

 

I'm not arguing with that, but it's the core of a capitalist economy mate, and that isn't going to change merely because we don't like the conclusions that they'll draw which will lead to an economic crash.

It was all predicted, by virtually every economic expert out there. You can't cry arse about it post 'winning'.

 

What are those?

BTW I don't think they're simplistic, they are typical imo.

 

It's not yours, there's another fact for you love x

 

It's an over simplified version. Sadly, when the debate looks to be moving beyond that, you and a few others pipe up and disrupt it.

 

I know everyone is panicking about Brexit and Trump becoming president, but there's no need to worry, Jesus will save us

Hope that helps'

A decent wage for someone of my age but not wealthy. A tanked pound for 12 months, should that prove to be the case, shouldn't do the business I work for too much harm.

 

There you go again! Spouting pointless soundbites on a subject you very clearly know **** all about!

 

True, but you perhaps need to reread and rethink what I was defining as your area of expertise.

 

There you go again, stopping a discussion expanding.

 

Long story short mate, a 40 something entrepreneur, who in his niche industry is recognised as an innovator, goes to the wall because a lot of the country voted on something they don't understand and some more of the country voted for a change that had no plan attached to it.

Amongst those voters the wilfully uneducated and unemployed.

Rule Chav Britannia.

 

Why bother to discuss with a ****wit who just thinks he knows more about everything than everybody.

I've got news for you, you give away your stupidity with every post you make about things you know absolutely nothing about - but, of course are too pig headed to admit that.

I worked in those markets for over 20 yrs, but of course you know more about them than I do!
