Yes, it's all my fault, Flud said so.
Something that hasn't happened seems to have done a hell of a lot of damage, lord knows what the result be when it does, lets hit Article 50 and find out yes?
Yes, and do you know why confidence has been destroyed...... BY BREXIT.
Yes its totally self fulfilling. How can you blame brexit when its not happened ?
The vote has happened.... that is enough to cause the problems, everything is now resetting around the concerns about what this means for the UK.
Brexit, the decision to leave the EU, is a disaster for the simple reason that it will leave us isolated with our proven failures. Failure like our long standing appallingly low productivity for example. Failure like the continuous losses of all our industries and much of our commerce to others over the last 50 years.
My thoughts too Flud, especially the parts I've underlined.
If Britain initiates the leave process, which should really have been done by now, the London financial centre will become a target for the French and Germans in particular. They will want to ensure Britain suffers for its actions and there is no good reason why London should remain the main European banking interchange and a major world player. Frankfurt is probably best equipped to take over that role but there are several other large financial centres which could easily handle the volume of trade which currently goes through London.
if the express polls only 42% of their readers still for brexit and 12% don't know then you know where the majority is roughly. The broblem for the 17m brexiters is nearly the rest of the world don't trust brexit has a future.
All they have done is repeat the same things again and again. Initially its expressing opinion then it becomes an attempt to convince rest of us of their righteousness...
180 pages for a single thread is a record in this site, almost double the previous 100 page record.
I wish you were right Flud. I'd much rather be wrong on an anonymous ebike forum than take the financial hit I've taken since Brexit. I have a strong hunch we've all taken a serious hit. The profit you made on the property in France is due to a devaluing of the pound - and of everything you own in the UK. I also own property in France. Its not a profit when part of ones portfolio devalues. I even wish you were right so that I didn't have to take the damage I'm about to take over the next few months/years. I'm sure all of us on this thread have a considerable vested interest financially in the UK and in its economy working. Unfortunately Brexit genuinely is probably the most damaging thing that will have happened in our lifetimes to us individually, and the country as a whole economically. I wish this wasn't the case. I'm the kind of burnt out middle aged soul who'd happily trade all my righteousness for a good cappuccino, ffs. The exasperation of remainers you see on this thread is fuelled by the denial of 17 million leavers about what's really happening.
I was just thinking that this BREXIT situation has taken on more importance than electric fags.
And what have you done Flud? Apart from attacking the French? You have stuck to the same line all along with no thought whatever to the social consequences so long as a profit can be made, the fate of the lower orders doesn't concern you one bit does it, and you hide behind the ignore button when you have no cogent argument to offer.
Nonsense.
As a wise man is once reputed to have said, 'There's none so blind as those who will not see'.
Foolish remark from someone who should know better.
Flud... have you not seen? The UK voted to leave the EU. How can you claim nothing has changed???
Destroyed confidence I a result of Osbourne and folk continually repeating the same negative rhetoric, as seen on here.
