    Massive pro Brexit rally outside Parliament



    I would have joined them if I had time.
    Massive UK asset sale to be had if there's a hard Brexit.
    And post hard Brexit, London and the South will still be a viable place - there are things we do well.
    But the rest of the country will be hollowed out - as Brexiter economist Patrick Minford expects manufacturing to disappear:

      Absolutely, either you do Soft Brexit and you end up with all the things everyone voted against or you do a Hard Brexit and force the economy through a painful longterm restructuring which will leave the North as a permanent basket case. Interestingly London will probably come through a Hard Brexit quite well.

        John Major chips in;

        Sir John Major has declared there is a “perfectly credible” case for a second referendum on Brexit and people who voted to remain should not be subject to the “tyranny of the majority”.

          And your evidence is? None of course.

          Or are you going to post another link to a page that doesn't back up your claim and hope no one reads it, then ignore the post that calls you out as a muppet?

            I don't think he needs to nick your strategy.

                Don't be fooled by the optimistic economic news:

                Brexit it to be very painful

                  Are they going to claim delay every time they get it wrong?

                  Needless to say you didn't address the problem with your supporting evidence having no evidence.

                  And on the subject of porkies, I see Sturgeon's Brexit Minister caught embellishing the truth.Never seen him in the same room as Blaster at the same time.

                  It's all irrelevant though as Spain tells Sturgeon to go forth.

                    My 8 year old daughters used to argue like that. My Teenager has started doing it again.

                    Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

                      Look around your house, list the stuff made by British owned companies in Britain.
                      I buy the best things I can afford - the only British brand I can see is a Dyson (made in Malaysia and so crap its never used). Oh and some garden tools, but although they sound British, they're probably made abroad.

                      We don't make enough to trade our way in the world. Bottom line.

                      80% of our economy is services of which the vast majority goes to Europe and the US.
                      India and China (2/5ths of the world population) are not interested in our services, they've got a closed economy.

                      HTH, BIDI
                      Hard Brexit now!
