    The fall in the pound is real and already affecting people's expenditure as things become dearer.
    That will accelerate next year.
    There is evidence that businesses have suspended investment, again the effects will kick in next year.
    I would imagine that Article 50 kick off would lead to a further fall in the pound.

    So you're backing a soft Brexit? Negotiating assumes non-hard Brexit. Hard Brexit is when we say, stuff this, do your worst and lets see what happens :-)

    One of the reason's the leave vote won was because we tried to negotiate with the EU and they just slammed the door in our face. How do you think they would behave when they have even more power?
    One of the concessions Dave got was that Britain would NEVER join any further political union of the EU. This was going to be in the treaty in perpetuity. Seems like a good deal, keep the economic benefits and forget the political bollox. Many (most) remainers don't want to join the Euro or any further political stuff.

    On the contrary Brexit has made them double down. And only in the tabloids is there the slightest hint of other countries exiting. There could well be referendums in other places but given the closeness in the UK (the most Euroskeptic country only won 52:48) it's fair to say other referendums, were they to be held, will be for the EU.
    The economic shenningans that the UK jas already endured and will endure is causing the Eurosceptics to lose ground.

    Negotiating Brexit "properly" will take decades as we aren't Greenland. Even some of your beloved Brexiteer ministers admit this.

    It suits the carp you are shouting to a tee like below.

    The UK government cares about its electorate far more than the EU does about its victims

    This is nothing to do with the EU but everything to do with UK government policy over the decades.

    And I was around when a well-known retailer thought this brand "new" method of working was a great one. Oddly they couldn't find anyone at the time to take the roles as people had sufficient employment protection then.

    There's something about the education system in this country that encourages infantilism.

    So what do you think vetran, will a hard Brexit benefit the common man?

    Well, whatever.

    I think we may be about to find out if the EU was good for the common man or not.
    That's why I want a hard Brexit, it's the best way to settle this once and for all

    Britain is the sixth least corrupt country in Europe, behind Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Sweden, Finland and Denmark, it says.
    Hmm so glad we are a part of it?

    That's because the only people who think that the EU resembles the EUSSR are a small minority of Brexiters. I work with Czechs, Hungarians and Poles. They still hold a deep hatred for Russia and all it does and has represented. If you were to suggest the EU is the USSR reborn to them, you'd be taking your teeth home in your hat. (This is the same hat you're talking through when you spout such ill-informed nonsense ).
    so lets sort this, is the EU responsible for peace in Europe as claimed by EUphiles regularly and as was confidently put forward as a major reason for staying , it being in its original charter. Or does it have f all to do with it and was it another Remainer lie?

    The fact that your colleagues are a bunch of thugs with a hair trigger makes sense to me. The intention of the EU is to create an EU federal state ruling its member states with its own centralised Army & Political wing. This is to be achieved by a series of treaties & coercion, Not sure what other organisation it is similar to, maybe you can explain?
