    Hope this helps clarify the situation

    Would you like to expand on which parts exactly you think are bollox?

    We haven't had brexit yet.
    - This is true

    We've lost inward investment
    - this is true

    jobs have moved abroad
    - this is true

    UK companies have wasted a lot of money planning for the unknown
    - this is true

    as yet we're still in the EU
    - this is true

    Maybe this is why the economy is still holding up
    - ok, this is my take on it. It's neither true or false, it's just an opinion.

    We'll only really know the true impact of brexit once we leave
    - this is true

    although the signs are not good
    - this is true i.e. jobs going abroad, lost inward investment, companies wasting money to plan for what exactly

    hence why even those who promote brexit are too scared to pull the trigger
    - this is true. The brexiter MPs have it in their power to vote May's WA through. This will ensure we leave the EU. This could have happened last month. They didn't pull the trigger. Why do you think this is exactly? Is it the fallacy around the backstop, or do you think it's because they never expected to win and don't really want brexit, or at least they don't want to be associated with the sh1tstorm

    There you go. Clearly not bollox as most of what I said is 100% factually correct.

    The cause of all this debt is the result of ultra low interest rates and stupid easy credit. Nothing to do with political spectrum.

    Although an incoming government will always lure voters for votes with some financial bait, it's been that way since forever. Truth is taxes need to increase.
    Also not sure why you care, surely your AMD shares and Bitcoin investments mean you will make out like a bandit whatever happens?

    Actually the CBI didn't predict catastrophe if the UK didn't join the Euro, they simply said the benefits outweigh the dangers.

    This is the actual opinion of the CBI on joining the Euro:

    Speaking at a CBI dinner, Mr Turner said there were dangers associated with joining the single European currency, but stressed that overall benefits would far outweigh them.
    BBC News | The Economy | CBI urges business to back euro

    i.e. they said there were dangers in joining the Euro as well as benefits,.

    What they didn't say was not joining would be a catastrophe.

    The doom laden predictions of the CBI on the Euro is a myth.

    Said by people like the CBI. Who predicted catastrophe if UK did not join the Euro.

    Which is damaging is no decision. We should either stay or leave with no deal. Anything else is bad.

    Which way? Not that I care either way. Brexit, no Brexit, we are still stuck with LibLabCon running the show.
