If we vote for Brexit what happens

Conrad

The MSM ('Lugenpresse' - see the Richard B Spencer video the whole media is in a froth about > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1o6-bi3jlxk), has been found out and more and more of us are turning away from it.


RT is biased, but at least you get to see things through Russian eyes which provides light bulb moments you would never get from the condescending, hugely biased BBC

I voted remain. I am not looking to say told you so, rather I'm breathing a sigh of relief at some of the news. However we haven't left yet, and Google and Facebook's plans would by their nature have predated the referendum.

If it's all plain sailing though, why did I only get $1.20-1.25 on my recent trip to the US instead of $1.60? And why is the PM talking of avoiding cliffs?

Still, I look forward to all that lovely extra money being spent on the nhs when we leave.

Nevermind youll get over it one day


Brexit? .....Trump ?.it will never happen. .. he he heeee he :D

The markets expected fiscal and other measures to be enacted in order to make us extra competitive and attractive going forward, such as reduced interest rates and printing money. Currenct devaluation is just what we needed in a world of deflationary pressures (think Chinese steel dumping for example).


This is slowly rebalancing the economy so it becomes less about importing Chinese knickers and flogging them on EBAY to be transported by slave workers in the gig economy, and more about selling services and good abroad, the only sure fire way to better jobs and giving the lost people a sense of dignity and hope.


If we'd carried on the way we were, at some point the market would have called time on our largesse - you cannot build an economy based on debt, imports and mindless consumption

'Britain’s public finances improved in October with a fall in the monthly deficit to £4.8bn from £6.4bn in the same month last year, giving the chancellor a lift ahead of Wednesday’s autumn statement.
Healthy increases in national insurance contributions, corporation tax and stamp duty on shares helped boost government coffers and put Philip Hammond in a better position to ease austerity.
But the damage to growth following the Brexit vote is still expected to force the Treasury to miss its target of £55.5bn by the year end by about £10bn'.


Cancel the EU net £8bn+ a year then, plus some FA

I sense from some of the posts (and signatures) on this forum that some Remainers feel a little disappointed regarding some of the recent positive announcements regarding Google, Facebook, employment, payrises etc etc etc.

I sense from some of the posts on this forum that Brexiteers are jumping on every glimmer of hope that they've not made the biggest mistake of their lives by voting to Leave.

Let's see what "positive announcements" the chancellor has tomorrow when he tells us how much better off we all will be thanks to Brexit. Do you think he'll announce the full £350m a week saved will be going to the NHS?

What do you like most about the £28 million per day EU club fee, which other successful nations exporting into the EU do not pay?


What would you spend this money one?

I'd have to say the single market is the best thing about the EU club fee, since we benefit by more than that just for having access.

I know you think you're onto something by latching onto the fact we send them £28 million per day, when our deficit is something like £120 million per day. It's an utterly irrelevant number here, and peanuts for what we actually get out of it.

You seem to be obsessed with the idea that other non-EU nations can still trade with the EU successfully, whilst ignoring the fact that we get a vastly better deal than they do, because we're part of the single market.

I don't mind paying the £25 a year to be a member of Costco, because I probably save that much money annually on bog roll.

No need to wait until tomorrow - its been announced today that borrowing is down 1.6billion on last year - leaving those 'experts' somewhat red faced.

Whilst probably little related to the forthcoming Brexit no doubt it'd be jumped upon by the remainers if it had been the other way.

As someone who was 'on the fence' it seems there has been a huge amount of positive economic news post vote.

Still I'll leave you 'hard remainers' to wallow and hunt out any negative news you can whilst also attempting to belittle the brexiteers as being a 'little bit stupid'.

I reiterate - sad times....

For paying £28 million per day, what financial return to we get over and above that the other successful exporting nations get, such as Japan and USA, S Korea and Singapore that pay nothing in?


We make at least £28 million more per day comparing to an equivalent level of trade Japan does do we?

You really think our steel will be competitive with GBP at ~$1.25? Jeez, Conrad...
