We are only just into the biggest political upheaval in Europe since the 1940's. Turbulence and general wailing and nashing of teeth are to be expected.
What we need right now is for some political leadership.
Everyone needs to MTFU.
Too many people believed them.
Time to stop that.Comment

Originally posted by CretinWatcher View PostYou haven't addressed any of my issues, just made some bland assertions.
On balance do you think FDI will increase or decrease over the next 5 years and what effect will that have on the economy?
Is Britian a more attractive or less attractive place to do business now that it seems to be politically unstable for the first time in modern history?
Will the Queen have to show her passport at the border when she goes to Balmoral?
What will happen in Northern Ireland - i don't think the outcome's going to be good?
And why did Boris and Gove look so stunned and unhappy on Friday?
And you didn't really make any points to address in your first post. So to answer your second:
I expect fdi to increase, not least as Sterling falls.
As I explained in one of my bland comments, other countries have already indicated they want to do business.
Britain will be easier and hence more attractive to invest in.
And even if Scotland leaves the UK, they will still have the Queen as a monarch.Comment

.
1) they are not sure they have access to the single market?
2) they are not sure that the country will stick together?
3) there seems to be a lack of political leadership?
Let see shall we? I expect investment to decline fairly sharply.Comment
