Isn't it time to acknowledge the referendum has been a complete catastrophe?

    How sad that after cocking up the country the only comfort you can find is if our neighbours also get cocked up. If Gemany left the Euro zone, the deutsch mark would rise not tank.

      Which would be hugely to their detriment. Their exports have been helped for years by a weak currency, held back by the PIIGS.

        Yeah what wouldn't I give to have Britain have that kind of economic problem - a strong currency because investors know the underlying economy is solid.
        As it is the money knows this economy is a house of cards.
        But we didn't need a big bad wolf to blow it down, the stupid little piggies inside did it all by themselves.

          Voted for by 2 groups of people. Feckless unemployed sponging off the country. And feckless fat cats sponging off the country.

          DC totally misjudged the mood of the country. People are fed up with pressure on housing and services. And growing inequality. From your property in Guildford, living on beans on toast and sneering at others who are not as rich as you(you only way of judging people) you have no idea.

          The fact that some are calling for the referendum result to be ignored speaks volumes.

          Personally I would like to see changes to immigration and a ban on overseas ownership of private property.

            If Germany left the EU the Mark would go the same way against the ¥ and $ as £.

            And the £ has stabilised, for now at least.

            That it is still 12% above the financial meltdown vs the € just demonstrates how weak the EU and indeed German economy is.

            No signs yet of reduced fdi. Trading to continue as before so no reason why fdi should fall.

            Gideon has changed his tune dramatically. No need for an emergency budget suddenly. Quelle surprise!

            Plenty of business leaders just getting on with it.

            If you lot want to keep wallowing then you have a democratic right to do so, but you will be left behind.

              Unlike you I don't love so money so much that I tried to keep all of it.
              Haven't you got over your love of money yet?
              Clearly not otherwise you wouldn't keep projecting it on other people.

                Trading is not FDI.
                It is exactly this sort of economic illiteracy that caused the problem in the first place.
                If you lot want to be in denial then you have a democratic right to do so, but you will soon face reality.
