[Merged]Brexit stuff

I don't wish to questioned

No, I expect you don't. Good thing too.

[NotAllThere]

I don't wish to question the mind of a staunch hard dim brexitier, but don't you mean microscope?

Perhaps he's thinking of looking through the big end.

[GB9]

I sincerely hope so.
Once again GB9 makes no sense. I can only assume the appreciation he's receiving are from equally dim individuals

FTFY

Are they dim or are you? Do you like being subject to rules created in a different country? By people elected outside ours? Are you so insular that you believe the EU is everything and there isn't a world outside it?

I doubt anyone who voted Brexit thought it would be easy. Quite the contrary. But then these are the sort of people who will battle through the difficulties and make things work. Not turn chicken at the first hurdle.

I would rather have any one of the CUK Brexiters covering my back than the whole group of CUK Bemoaners.

British economy has already shrunk by 10% after the vote - measured against other peers in USD or even EUR.

The outlook looks bleak:

Brexit: Taking the Measure of Britain’s New Normal - Bloomberg

More than four-fifths of the 132 chief financial officers of U.K. companies polled by Deloitte plan to cut capital spending and reduce hiring over the next year

This is compounded by the fact that the UK is clearly at the back of the queue for trade deals:

the government is racing to hire by year end 300 lawyers, bankers, management consultants, and others with the skill sets to strike deals. They may not be as busy as the government hopes: Both the U.S. and Canada have declared their intentions to prioritize trade deals with the EU over bilateral agreements with just the U.K.

They could perhaps save themselves some money by employing the trade negotiators when they need them in a couple of years time.

The outlook looks bleak.

On the contrary, I'd suggest that you feel particularly bleak about the outlook because your feelings are hurt. Let's not pretend that you're taking a dispassionate view of the mixed economic reports at this impossibly early stage during our ongoing non-departure from the EU. As Warner (a Bremainer) has argued, it's more important for some Bremainers that their opinions are validated. Given the BoE survey versus the PMIs, you'd take the PMIs as they paint the more negative picture. Given the depreciation of Sterling and its impacts on the current account, you'd focus on the impact of short-term uncertainty (current account negative) and ignore the elasticity of long-term demand for British exports or British earnings on overseas investments (current account positive). Glass half-empty, wherever possible. Diddums

Most of the time you talk utter total crap. But this is exceptional, even by your own standards.

How is it clearly at the back? Most countries who want deals don't seem to think so.

Constantly posting nonsense won't stop it being nonsense you know?

You say this quite often, but never offer an explanation of why you think the poster is wrong. Do you think it right to withhold the benefits your your wisdom from us?
