Interesting article from Simon Kuper in the FT

[AtW]

Those that made the difference on Brexit were mainly the working classes

Yup, but they were mislead by a bunch of public schoolboys whose life skills are mainly oral...

Not really neither side could actually come up with coherent arguments either way.

All most people knew was that they did not want a central european body telling us what to do.

Pretty sure it was the pig giving Oral?

This a diatribe from someone with a chip on his shoulder about public schoolboys. Those that made the difference on Brexit were mainly the working classes

WHS, and the FT is fanatically pro-EU.

Is it because EU is good for business?

When you guys point out where the article is wrong I might be interested. Until then I will assume you got unwittingly manipulated

The deciding factor was Labour supporters who are fed up of inequality - especially the lack of houses and services. Which is seen as being due to too many people who require them.

Any attempt to dilute that message is going to lead to trouble.

The Japanese model is not perfect - but has alot going for it.

Coming from someone who rarely engages and just goes round calling everyone a cretin(pot meet kettle) that is rich.

Of course, you consider rich a compliment if it means who much money you have.

Still haven't lost your obsession with money I see.
How sad.
As it goes I am quite well off, I'm thankful that'll give me more options in the tough years ahead that your stupidity has caused.

What do you think will happen to the likes of MF?

I'm semi retiring. If I'd worked all the way to the end of March I was set to earn 310k this year. I've taken 120k of that instead and finish up next week.

Back to mediocrity methinks.
