Agreed, but some people who should have known better predicted dire economic woes immediately after the vote should we vote leave. Those people included the then Chancellor of the Exchequer and the Governor of the Bank of England who one assumes are in possession of expert opinion and analysis.

I'm shocked that none of the remainers, globalists groups have not predicted we could be better off.

I notice the troll Burt has quoted me on this thread. When Burt says that he is prepared to pay that economic price, what the cretin means is that he is prepared for your children to pay that price. Name calling. That's pretty much all they have left. Keyboard warriors on a web site, that's all they are. Not boo to a goose would they say toe to toe. And for the record, in years to come, our children will greet the 17.4 million mighty and noble Brexiteers on one knee with cap doffed thanking us for saving us from that despicable club of gallactico corrupto's over the channel. Quislings like Brokenbiscuit will still be doing their best impression of Japanese soldiers from the jungle. Poor saps. |

Although we should go easy on Biscuitbrain as he was 'full bank' on Remain as it 'couldn't lose'.

He's got some front old Biscuitbrain. The thread where he 'wholeheartedly' agreed with Farage there could be no second referendum - deleted.
The thread where he claimed house prices were doomed, despite the fact they are now at record levels - deleted. I didn't realise you went 'full bank' at 1.08, I thought you would have got a better price than that. Not that it matters, a loser is a loser, regardless of the price. ![]() Didn't have anything on Trump, Fv, not a market I got involved in. I think Biscuit would have got in deep with Hilary had he not been 'full bank' on Remain though. ![]() Just remember, Biscuit, on your knees, cap doffed. |

Some of us are not happy, KoD. We should be leaving this June not hanging on to beyond 2020.
Cameron didn't keep his promise to action Article 50 when the result was known, instead he skulked away like the coward he is. Also the Civil Service made no provision for the Brexit option. They smugly believed their propaganda machine would deliver the result they wanted. May has been left to pick up the pieces, it's most unsatisfactory. |

First of all, I voted leave. The more I read, the less confidence I have that this will be for the best.
Talk of “predicted dire economic woes” being well off the mark are very premature. Growth in the UK has slowed, sterling has fallen significantly against the euro and inflation has gone up. All this and we are not even out yet. Our prime minister is so weak, she cannot tell the EU what we want (if she even knows!), for fear of her own party ousting her. Theresa May and David Davis have hardly covered himself in glory. He gave in on “the row of the summer” over the sequence of talks on the first day of Brexit talks. They did not initially recognise the need for a transition or acknowledge the possibility of EU obligations lasting beyond Brexit day. In April, Mrs May told the EU that, after Brexit, Britain had no legal obligation to cover financial liabilities accrued by the bloc. (Gave in in November). They said “London’s initial position was that UK law was sufficient to guarantee the rights of 3m EU nationals in Britain.” Now we are enshrining some EU law. We agreed to stump up 40 to 60 billion, yet we have not got a transition deal yet. While we are likely to get a trade deal after the transition deal, assuming we get one, a significant part of financial services are likely to be excluded, weakening the city & causing a signifcant reduction of our tax take. As for the suggestions of WTO rules to fall back on, WTO rules do not apply to services, so the city would be significantly weakened. All in all, it looks like a disaster. |

so the propaganda assault is working eh? But it is what they want you to believe - they are trying to sabotage it all - obviously.

None of the above is propoganda |

Anything that opposes anyone's beliefs on this subject is always propaganda.
Which is why very few people (who are interested in it) change their views. Also, as has been written on here, loads of times, it hasn't happened yet! |

We are down ca 21% against the Euro since just before the referendum (£1 gets you 1.14 today, 1.45 prior to the referendum.
On a trade weighted basis 23 June 2016 87.763 Today 79.926, that's 8.9% DOWN https://www.poundsterlinglive.com/bank-of-england-spot/historical-effective-exchange-rates/GBP-history You were noticing the US dollar decline http://money.cnn.com/2018/01/15/investing/weak-dollar/index.html |

The pound was more like 1.30 against the Euro just before the referendum?
|
|
By:
So down by something like 12-13%
|
|
By:
Also, the pound v Euro was at similar levels to today in 2013 and was actually quite a bit lower in 2011.

By:
You are correct on the ca. 1.30 value. I previously took the other figure from yet another slanted news story!
