Time to stop talking about Brexit and move on

[eek]

Eventually the UK will join the Euro and become a fully fledged member of Europe.
But not until a great deal of pain and reality checking is gone through.
Being in the EU enabled the UK to piggy back on it and play the big boy.
But on its own the weaknesses of the UK economy: the large deficits, the reliance on debt-fuelled conusmption, the tiny manufacturing sector, the over-reliance of foreign investment and a massive housing ponzi scheme will be painfully exposed.

A agree with the last bit - your first 3 points are however wrong - our economy is rather different to the rest of the EUs and will be impossible to change...

To summarise, the UK is on route to economic disaster and an IMF bail out unless it does a U-turn.

You are projecting your personal failure story onto brexit- because you are not a leader of men and cannot visualise yourself confidently leading people into the unknown.

Never mind brexit. You should stick to babysit.

Hush now, the big boys are talking.
Run off and find ShaunBhoy and Original PM, they're in a sandpit somewhere.

And you sound like the kind of great leader who did us proud at Balaclava. Lord Tennyson's poem could easily be modfied to cover Brexit. https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poe...-light-brigade.

The Economist? Bloomberg? The Independent?

All fanatically Europhiliac rags whose doom laden warnings have been assailing our ears since before the referendum

This is Aussieschlong. More likely to be at Gallipoli where Johnny Turk gave him a whipping and sent him back to Oz with his tail between his legs.

So you're happy with the performance of the British economy in the last year?

[sasguru]

Anyway let's see what happens.
You Brexiters had better be right about the economy because if you're not the vast majority of you will be stuck here

All that is need is to updated this to 2018, add May, add Brexit and the EU Repeal Bill

[QUOTE]The IMF Crisis took place during James Callaghan's term as Prime Minister,[3] and caused the Bank of England to withdraw temporarily from the foreign exchange market.[4] After the defeat of the public expenditure white paper in the House of Commons in March 1976 and the resignation of Harold Wilson, many investors became convinced the pound would soon lose value due to inflation. By June 1976, the pound had reached a record low against the dollar.[2]


BTW, 1976 GBP to USD was 1.55 at its lowest
