Let 'em have their no deal

In economic terms...

Good would be an initial shock followed by a quick recovery.
Bad would be a prolonged deep recession, high unemployment, taking years to recover (like 2008).

Only with the benefit of hindsight will the number crunchers be able to offer an opinion as to whether we would have been better off staying in. And even then I doubt everyone will agree.

If you want 10 opinions, ask 9 economists.

Sorry, I've only stock piled enough for me and mine.

Don't worry, plenty to go round for everyone....

That doesn't sounds very ambitious, when brexiters argument that UK would be the richest/greatest country on earth if not for the EU....

For me bad would be in the 5 years after leaving EU, the economic growth, employment and other key economic metrics would be substantially worse than the 5 years before the referendum!

Neutral would be to keep those metrics in line with the EU years.

Good would be to excel those metrics!

This seems to be a very predictable outcome, looking at the decline of British economy since the referendum and taking into consideration that the ~46 years that UK was part of the EU were the most prosperous (at least from economic point of view) that Britain had in its history and don't forget at some point UK was one of (if not the) biggest imperium in the all world!

But yeah, lets bet on it against all odds...

Who's bitter? Did you not understand my post? Hard crash won't hurt me, so nothing to be bitter about. I just think leave voters need to be treated like children; you try to educate them, but sometimes you need them to fall over and scrape the skin off their knees and feel a bit of pain in order for them to learn

In the spirit of showing confidence in a No Deal Brexit, I've decided that I'm cancelling my Netflix subscription and it will leave me free to reach my own agreements with every film and TV studio in the world, rather than suffering the restrictions placed on me by Netflix. This will, i'm sure be a resounding success and studio execs will be lining up for their share of my £7.99 a month.

i have also written to netflix to tell them that if they take their ludicrous rules off the table, I might, if they don't get all arsey and protectionist on me, carry on using their services for no fee, but if they don't agree to that, I'll be gone for good.

Some want a return to Victorian times. When the UK was the greatest/richest country on earth.

A shame most UK citizens lived in poverty.

In the spirit of showing confidence in Brexit I shall continue with my Netflix subscription, I shall also add Sky, Amazon Prime and any other service that I wish. I shall obviously adhere to the relevant terms and conditions of each of the suppliers.

Your analogy is crap.

For many that's only relevant if you're on the wrong side!

Awwww, I was about to comment that brexiteers wouldn't understand it, but you were faster...

The version I remember was "if you want 10 opinions, ask an economist"...
That was from my A-Level Economics teacher. Who was a raging socialist. Which may or may not be relevant.

Has anyone notice how the "cake" disappeared, and was quietly replaced by a bowl of tripe and onions.
