except that some of the leave campaigners instrumental in the wording of the advert are in the cabinet and knew it was an outright lie

of course anyone believing it would be a fool but there are a lot about

Aye, I'm sure someone in government promised immigration in the tens of thousands despite knowing he had no contro over numbers, how did that one go?

Why say it then? See below from the Telegraph, everyone knows that they made this promise no point in denying it now.

Nigel Farage has admitted that it was a "mistake" to promise that £350million a week would be spent on the NHS if the UK backed a Brexit vote.

Now contrast that to the snatching at straws efforts on here about the NHS money. 

Whose exact wording they can't even back up.

We're the day after the election, the pound has already had a beating. Do you think there won't be some cuts that will have to be made because of this?

It was generally agreed that the pound was overvalued .....

CC - you are being naive to come to conclusions so quickly - if you are in the markets a long term view is what is required.

For a while I was thinking I'd dreamt that £350 million bollox, talk about desperate.

"Brexit voters were fully aware that they were voting for Armageddon and still voted to leave ?"

I don't think they were fully aware ! It seems the British are now madly searching to figure out what the European Union is according to Google. In the last 2 days Google says one of the top questions was “What is Brexit?”

Nobody in high circles has been talking about Armageddon for the UK economy since the result of the referendum was announced.
I think we can put most the doom and gloom talk in the bin.

See where the markets are at the end of next week.
We might have a pleasant surprise, especially the FTSE100.

"Our future is in our hands".
Wrong.
Your future is in the hands of a yet to be elected prime minister and unknown cabinet who may not then win the likely general election and, even if he/she does, may have a very different view of how to exit from most of those who voted to do so.
Power to the people?

Crepello, those who actually know me would say I'm the absolute opposite of a pessimist, and there's no comfort at all taken by me in this sorry situation.

Anything I ever post on here is just calling it as I see it, nothing else, and imho, there's every reason for the people of this country to be very worried indeed...

I just heard IDS say on the telly that the £350 million should go to the NHS.
He speaks for the leave campaigners.

So what are they on about on here?

UKIP leader Niger Farage has said the Leave campaign's pledge to give an extra £350m a week to the NHS was a "mistake".

It was never a claim Mr Farage made himself, but official Leave campaign adverts on posters and buses said: "Let’s give our NHS the £350m the EU takes every week.".....SKY NEWS

You've been denying they said it, ffs.

I asked where they had said it?

Again, you're making things up that haven't been said.

''Where's the punishment budget that predicted taxes up and spending slashed?''
Also:
Recession within two years
3.6 contraction in GDP.
Higher inflation.
House prices to fall by 10%
500,000 jobs lost.


The Business Secretary would endorse none of it

Anything to say about that lot?

The "united" kingdom still fighting each other, way after the pointless battle!

And to think these clowns point the finger at us in Ireland.

It seems even the winning faction "Leave" cannot even agree on what they write on their silly battlebus. The other side, equally awash with well-paid professional politicians cannot even find a leader.

And, now that there's nobody left to scapegoat and blame for failure, nobody is in any hurry to actually take the plunge and get on with getting out.

What a shower of frauds altogether!

All are a discredit to their country and should stop meddling in Ireland and Scotland; they cannot even run their own place.
What are they waiting for now?

I'd guess that immigration ( seems to be what most folk thought the vote was about) is already on the increase, only days after this silly, wasteful, referendum.

Whose idea was it anyway?

This kind of thread / tosh is to be expected. The media was well behind the remain campaign and we are getting the consequential detritus. I think it's worth remembering, this was one time the sheep didn't follow the nonsense

The scare mongering by the remain camp was no more than the knowledge that the market would take a drop if

Brexit won.( Speculators were to blame for that drop, not Brexit.)

Their concerns were purely personal.They have had huge amounts wiped off their stocks and shares.To

them,that's a disaster. Poor things.Let them eat humble pie I say!

The markets will recover and the speculators will profit again.

Even after the people have spoken,the scare mongers are still at it.

And as for the people signing the petition for another referendum they have shown their true colours:

democracy be damned!

For those with no historic knowledge of what life was like before Bevan the NHS etc, this video will be of much education, and teach you the direction that the capitalists sending us back too.
