Or I could just read their opinion, which seems to be a positive one.

Positivity is great. I'm not sure the whole picture would be so. It's like being delighted your wages have gone up 5% - great on the face of it but a bit pointless without knowing what inflation is, how much your house has changed in value etc.

They seem to have considered the bigger picture.

It's interesting how some seem desperate for things to be bad. What will be, will be. If people are as wise as they seem to think, they should be preparing for it, so it doesn't have as much impact.

It's interesting how some seem desperate to convince others things are going to be great and cling to anything that suggests as much as gospel without evaluating what's in front of them. If they are as wise one becomes after watching a couple of YouTube clips and pasting some articles on here, I'm sure they'll be fine.

I'm not trying to convince anyone it'll be great, hence the "what will be, will be" comment.

Simply repeatedly claiming things will be bad solves nothing, especially as most of the predictions so far have been wrong, and not everything is brexit related. We don't exist in an EU bubble.

It's more a case of dealing with the actualities of a brexit that is going to happen.

You keep saying that, but it never is.

Whatever general definition of 'smart', you're not making it.

There does seem to be a trait among the southerners on here to be a tad....'needy'.

No one is needy. People constantly point out the massive holes in your biased sources which miss out important parts of the story they're trying to tell and you take umbrage with the fact not everyone is as stupid as Kustard to blindly agree with you.

That's a piss poor rewrite. Interesting* how any reports that don't prophesy doom and gloom are the only ones you see as bias. :emoticon-0102-bigsm


*Have that one on me Archie. :emoticon-0105-wink:

Unlike the current terrorists who aim to kill, the IRA mostly sent warnings and hit infrastructure. There were a few exceptions like eniskillen and inglis barracks

This is simply a myth. I have not included any attacks on police or army stations, nor any political assignation in the following list.

Ealing 2001 ... 7 civilians injured
Omagh 1998...29 dead
Docklands 1996 ...2 dead
Manchester shopping centre 1996 ... approx 200 injured
Shankill Road 1993...8 dead
Bishopsgate 1993...1 dead 30 plus injured
County down 1993...7 injured
Teebane 1992...8 construction workers dead
Baltic exchange 1992 ...3 dead 91 injured
Victoria train station...1 dead 38 injured
Harrods bombing 1982...3 dead 90 plus injured
Hyde Park 1982...11 dead dozens injured
Dunmurry train bomb....3 dead 12 injured
LaMon restaurant bombing 1978 ...12 dead 30 injured
London hit on hotel bomb 1975 2 dead 30 plus injured
Birmingham and Guildford pub bombs 1974...26 dead hundreds injured

I haven't included any of the shootings by the IRA or all of the attacks made or any by loyalist terrorists.
Human life was absolutely targeted by the IRA and other terrorists at the time.

Note also forgot to put in the Warrington bombings in the 1990s

Do you know if the 2011 figure includes the 78 killed in Norway by a right wing terrorist

77 killed in Sweden
what about the 137 killed in Paris in November, then another 20 killed in Paris in the January, that puts it over the list you have shown.

As I said try again

Here is a more accurate list (not perfect)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terrorism_in_Europe

Last few years seem to be one type of people (religion) doing the killing, except the far right nutter.

Boxing Day sales bonanza Bargain hunting Brits out in force in whopping £4billion harvest.

Bargain-hunters queued for hours and flooded into city centres as stores slashed prices in a £4billion spending bonanza.

Some even abandoned their Christmas Day turkey to camp outside shops overnight to secure top gadgets and designer clothes.

This equates to more than £121,000 per second, based on an average nine hours of trading, and beats the £3.76billion registered on Boxing Day last year.

Footfall in London stores was up 8% on last year with posh department store Harrods having lengthy queues.

There'll be quite a few foreigners in there, taking advantage of the weak pound. That's probably what The Fail or The Excess forgot to mention.

I want Xmas shopping in NYC with some friends a few years back when the dollar was around $2-£1
