    Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

          The powerful combination of the Daily Mail and Disgraced Former Defence Secretary Liam Fox means that no further proof is required!

            Precisely, as someone else put it more succinctly:

            He plans to increase UK exports from 30% of GDP to 35% and he wants to do this by leaving the largest single market in the planet and by making it more costly, more complex and more difficult for UK companies to export out of the UK.
            Genius...

              The UK is going back to Victorian times.

              Not in the sense of being a world power. But in the sense of a handful of people having all the money while the majority live in poverty.

                Always Look On The Bright Side of Life (aka Death)

                Once again all we get from Brexiteers is vacuous, pie-in-the-sky, nothing-is-a-cheap-as-fine-words abstract nouns. When did ambition pay the mortgage?. Instead of saying "When are you going to face realities? , the CBI just say "Fantastic: can we have some big subsidies; as quickly as possible?" (Sound of rubbing of hands and the rustling of Bentley catalogues)

                It's so sad that we are so dangerously near to the economic rapids that you can smell the spume, yet they are still merrily singing and knocking back the cocktails.

                    Well, if the pound collapses (Brexit take: adjusts to the correct level compared with the overly high rate it has been at for years), then British products would, theoretically, be cheaper abroad.
                    Of course, that's reliant on there being British products to sell abroad and favourable trading agreements to make the sales.
                    …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore
