Brexiteers' safe space thread

[northernladyuk]

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

The Cretin-King is back!

Come on in - you'll soon feel the warm (but not triumphalist) glow of Brexit success.

Dont worry its just PM, his self motivation will wear off by dinnertime and from thereon his todo list will be out of kilter for the rest of the day.

He also claims to have lived through the bombings in the war sheltering in gramps air raid shelter - that would make him at least 72 years old. And he's still working as a PM? Or he talking tulip? Nah, he's a brexiteer, they never talk tulip

There's another 2 years yet, but I guess in your business premature anything is good news.

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."

Great news. Let's come back to these figures once we actually leave the EU and Brexit has actually happened.

Safe space guys. I am sensing a lot of Brexiteer fragility today. Was there some positive sounding news about the pharmaceutical industry this morning?

Bump

It's all getting a bit much for some of our more fragile Brexiteer friends, so let's keep it gentle on this thread, folks.
