    The Brexit Economy:
    the storm clouds are gathering


    voila, some doom

    Guardian analysis of key economic figures paints a picture of deepening gloom, with rising inflation denting consumer spending and investment

    Then Brexit is the gloating opportunity of a lifetime.

    1. I'm not gloating.
    2. Robots will be expensive, better to use the vast army of useless scrotes we possess.
    I've never understood why able bodied people who claim the dole or HB are not put to work on social projects like cleaning up litter etc.
    It prepares them for the world of paid work after all.

    I looked forward a few years. I saw this street as it'll be in
    five years' time, say, or three years' time (1941 they say it's
    booked for), after the fighting's started.
    Orwell never even predicted the biro.

    Just talk of Doom™

    followed by dull, unending, BAU, perma-Boom™

    How depressingly ordinary.
    I think the worst part is all the flipping threads about it day in day out. The topic really needs its own forum now.

    Just remember - there's beauty in decay. That said, rundown modern architecture won't have the same romance as the Victorian stuff.

    The poor will get poorer, the rich richer, the south will be OK, the North won't.
    The pound may recover a bit but won't reach its June 2016 level.
    Invest in staycation companies, burglar alarm companies and private healthcare companies.

    No, not all smashed to pieces. Only a little altered, kind of
    chipped and dirty-looking, the shop-windows almost empty and so
    dusty that you can't see into them. Down a side street there's an
    enormous bomb-crater and a block of buildings burnt out so that it
    looks like a hollow tooth. Thermite. It's all curiously quiet,
    and everyone's very thin. A platoon of soldiers comes marching up
    the street. They're all as thin as rakes and their boots are
    dragging. The sergeant's got corkscrew moustaches and holds
    himself like a ramrod, but he's thin too and he's got a cough that
    almost tears him open. Between his coughs he's trying to bawl at
    them in the old parade-ground style. 'Nah then, Jones! Lift yer
    'ed up! What yer keep starin' at the ground for? All them fag-
    ends was picked up years ago.' Suddenly a fit of coughing catches
    him. He tries to stop it, can't, doubles up like a ruler, and
    almost coughs his guts out. His face turns pink and purple, his
    moustache goes limp, and the water runs out of his eyes.

    More drizzly rain, low grey clouds rubbish blowing around the streets, and the carpets in the pub will be stickier.
