    At what point do they insist we take our fare share of unemployed EU nationals to help out hard working families for the good of the many not the few and to promote a strong stable leadership?

    I think they're living in Amazon cardboard city going by the size of some of the boxes I receive tiny items packaged in. Maybe I should check the masses of padding for workers going postal.

    Sounds like an adjustment to the Barnett formula is needed.

    Yep, understand leading and lagging indicators having written papers on the Balanced Scorecard and implemented it in companies. You may be clutching at very big straws though to be claiming unemployment rates is a leading indicator for Brexit. Nice try though

    Thankfully in my part of the UK house prices aren't anything like that. Oh and I have my house money in cash at present. The current house came (including plenty of DIY) with the wife. Long term, it can only be a good thing for housing costs to return to a sensible level.

    See this in the crypto world all the time. When something increases 1000% it's divine intervention. The company is doing something right. It can't go wrong. Everyone is happy. Then a whale comes along and sell's his or her massive stake and crash bang wallop. Now everyone says, my life is ruined! Swines!!

    Mark my words, the same will have in the UK housing market when that demand just melts away. Slowly and surely drip drip companies leave as do the people that support them. I'd liquidate my GBP position if I were's yous
