    Brexit, for once some facts.

    the many levels of irony in this post was just too hard too ignore: here we are, a small xenophobic little island of self-evidently inbred intellectually impaired (to put it very mildly) voters who have completely rogered themselves economically (probably for the next fifty years) because they...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    here's a realistic best case scenario - the pound devalues 35% overall by next year, imports/fuel/everything are that much more expensive, inflation goes up to 4% as a result, BoE increases rates to the same level to make the pound more attractive, and curb inflation, house prices devalue by...

    perhaps as the economic indicators sink in the uk will experience a similar transformation to this thread - with more extreme views dissipating and a healthy dose of economic realism dominating.

    Think the mood in the country is changing, with more of this http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-36636853 And there will be much more, sooner rather than later, there will be much more jitters in the brexit camp. It reminds me of Zuma in south Africa replacing a finance minister there regardless...

    That's more like it, and I bet the other 16 million brexiters like you won't let Boris budge. With any luck garage will step up to the plate and the future will indeed be fascinating, at the very least

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The only logical model is the Albanian one, brexiters wouldn't tolerate a Boris that pushes the Norwegian, essentially bremain minus minus one.
