2017-06-28 A Year After the Brexit Vote the Establishment’s Claims of Doom Look Absurd

A year ago the British people made a brave and historic decision to leave the EU. That was despite a torrent of lurid warnings from across the British establishment. A year on, we can already see how wide of the mark many of the establishment’s claims are proving.

We haven’t left yet, of course. That means that Brexiteer celebrations have been muted. It also means that Remoaner doom-mongering is still in full gear.

Eurocrats may be intransigent in negotiations and seek to “punish” us by denying a free trade deal. As we are net importers from the EU they would be punishing continental businesses rather more. Their mentality shows just what an abusive relationship we have been trapped in. It is unlikely that the EU would engage in such an act of self-harm – but certainly possible.

2017-06-28 A Year After the Brexit Vote the Establishment’s Claims of Doom Look Absurd

For those we are going to be to lazy to read the thread here are the highlights

"Then-Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne declared that such a decision “would represent an immediate and profound shock to our economy” which would “lead to an increase in unemployment of around 500,000” within two years.

A year on, unemployment is 1.54 million according to figures Office for National Statistics. The unemployment rate has fallen to 4.6 per cent – its lowest in 42 years. In May last year – when Osborne issued his warning – there were 1.67 million unemployed according to the ONS which was 5.0 per cent."

"Then there was all the talk about a stock market crash. On June 23 last year, the day of the EU referendum, the FTSE 100 closing price was 6,338. It is now 7,433. At first we were told that the FTSE 100 didn’t count as it reflected big international companies. The FTSE 250 was supposedly a better measure. All right then. The FTSE 250 closed at 17,333 on June 23 last year. Today it is on 19,518."

"A year later house prices are higher. According to the latest figure from HM Land Registry the average house price in the UK is £220,094, and the index stands at 115.43. Property prices have risen by 1.6 per cent compared to the previous month, and risen by 5.6% compared to the previous year. So far as interest rates are concerned the Bank of England cut the base rate from 0.5 per cent to 0.25 per cent."


"A year on, the subject is still sensitive. Brexiteers who avoid triumphalism reflects
a very British concern for good manners. But wouldn’t a mood of peace and reconciliation be helped if the Remain supporters not only accepted the result but also accepted that much of what they claimed during the campaign has already been proved wrong."

Nah struggling to see how this links with Civ 5 - not played Civ 6 yet so that may be more pertinent.

This is your space, so whatever works for you.

Maybe start a 'safe space for Labour voters' because if you keep banging on about it you might get a Labour Gvmnt?
