    As an entirely disinterested person, living outside the UK with no ties whatsoever, I have to agree. What Brexiters seem to singularly misunderstand is that the fact of it being arrived at democratically in no way detracts from it being an entirely cretinous choice.

    Yes, I am arrogantly calling 52% of those who voted cretinous. Personally, I think the proportion is significantly higher. No. I have no respect for the average British voter, since the majority are thicker than mince.
    Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

      Those of us running businesses are aware that the ongoing uncertainty and confusion coming from the UK government and their leave advisors is having a negative impact on the future of British businesses. The sooner the UK government actually does something, the sooner we can move on.

      Leaving the EU is a monumentally stupid decision.

      Saying we're going to leave the EU then dragging out the leaving process while providing no confidence on where the country is going is even worse.
      No, cretinguru actually wants Brexit to happen properly, no-deal, (what he hopes will cause) the most hurt to what he sees as people beneath him, in some kind of sadistic fantasy he has. (Maybe he's picked up the knack of schadenfreude from his time outside of the UK)

        Well done.
        That's probably the most well written personal attack I've seen you give.

        Well done.

          Actually I want to buy a property in London for investment purposes and want a hard no-deal Brexit so prices fall.
          They're falling already but not by as much as I would like.
          I think Brexit will affect the manufacturing heartlands disproportionately - London and the SE still have the great universities that produce talent for the knowledge economy, so in the long run are still a good investment.
          Hard Brexit now!

            Give it up as a bad job mate. NAT has always been the worse mod here and you're pissing into the wind even communicating with him.

                  But how will it be a good investment - if all the foreigners are sent home and new foreigners aren't allowed to buy residential property, then there will be a glut of empty properties. The only people wanting to stay in London will be those downsizing from their big houses/flats into smaller ones that they can afford.

                  Most of the manufacturing is foreign owned and for export, so it will have a double whammy effect. To give you an idea, look what Harley Davidson are doing because of Trump's attitude to the EU.

                  But most of that talent is foreign. Depending on whose figures you believe, it's either 6% of all migrants are here to study (Bean) or closer to 50% (UK Gov). If Brexiters have their way and we refuse to let in students to study that will have an impact on the talent pool, university funding and a further reduction on housing prices.

                  Universities will return to being solely for the rich Tory elite as they have to put up their admission charges to cover the loss of revenue.

                  And it's all because the clueless, directionless UK government and its negotiators are unable to move this country forward.
