[Merged]Brexit stuff (part 2)

And we buy more goods from the EU than they do from us. Wasn't the cost of tariffs about £8bn in our favour?

Still, if their four freedoms are more important than their workers having jobs then so be it.

Brilliant. Hard Brexit it is

Other than giving bribes/sweeteners to existing manufactures, (that includes unpublicised highly subsidised arms manufactures) the government haven’t a clue how to handle Brexit. Manufactures can’t even afford to pay the high business rates for factories. May is in Queen Canute mode and she is dishing out drivel to appease rather stupid naive Brexit voters with nonsense such as ‘investment in research and technology’ when there was nothing preventing such investment in the pre-Brexit years.

Brilliant. Hard Brexit it is

The harder the better - and no safe word.

Can we have a recount on Brexit?

[pjclarke]

With an honest campaign?

Brilliant. Hard Brexit it is

What is wrong with a hard Brexit? Or is your missus more used to a floppy one?

[original PM]

May have to thumb it in.

With an honest campaign?

So we're not going to have our pensions halved, lose £4k p.a. per household, lose half a million jobs and have an emergency budget the day after the referendum in which taxes will rise 2p in the pound?

And of course the figure you quote comes from one of the organisations responsible for the threats.

Yes, an honest campaign would have been good. Without Project Lie and Fear, Leave would have won by far more.

Let's see, how are we doing now?

British businesses continued to invest and consumers carried on spending in the months following the Brexit vote, defying predictions that a wave of uncertainty would hit economic activity.

Providing more details of the third quarter in Friday’s update, statisticians said consumer spending continued to be the main driver of economic growth, fuelled by rising household incomes.

There was also a contribution to growth from net trade – the difference between what the UK exports and imports. That came as imports fell but exports grew, probably helped by the weakness of the pound since the Brexit vote, which makes UK goods more competitive in overseas markets.

The remain campaign was such fabricated outright lies, the perps should be hanging from piano wires.

The remain campaign was such fabricated outright lies, the perps should be hanging from piano wires.

I'd say the Leave campaign told lies, the Remain campaign tossed out increasingly wild speculation and panic with so little substance they cannot technically be accused of lying per se.
