    Carney Said to Meet at ECB as Central Banks Seek Brexit Help
    European monetary policy makers can ask for some of the best insight available into the economic implications of Brexit on Thursday, when Mark Carney visits Frankfurt.
    The Bank of England governor will attend a closed-door meeting of the General Council, the forum for the central banks of the 28-nation European Union, according to people familiar with the matter. Hosted by the European Central Bank, the event is highly likely to see him questioned about the British decision to leave the EU, the people said, asking not to be named because the session is private.
    While Draghi has said the U.K. would suffer most in a disorderly exit, Carney has warned that the country is the “investment banker for Europe” and it’s in the bloc’s own interest to ensure it can still access that service.

    Youth unemployment is 50% in parts of Southern Europe. The project is clearly not working for all.

    Would you mind explaining in a few steps how the EU has caused youth unemployment in parts of Southern Europe, rather than the countries in question being responsible?

    Absolutely correct Conrad. The Remainers got it wrong. Many more people should now understand that while we remain in the EU the good news will continue to come.
    In June Britain voted to leave the EU but DID NOT LEAVE
    In a strange way many Brexiteers have not yet recognised that all the good news YOU and others have mentioned reflect Britains presence as a MEMBER of the EU.
    In an almost stranger way many remainers have not yet recognised this fact.
    Ok this might be difficult to swallow but every piece of good news you and others mention is an endorsement of the EU and the fact that Britain IS A MEMBER.

    Just to repeat as of today's date Britain is a member of the EU.


    There will be no loss of overall trade, Remoaner hysteria is based on a total misunderstanding of the imperative for core EU nations not to disrupt trade - it's the last thing these NATIONS (forget Brussels) can afford


    Furthermore, Brexit is a bounty of new opportunity

    I'm often called a remoaner and I'm pretty sure I never insisted that.

    I said I predict Q1 2017, which hasn't passed yet.

    I am a pragmatic person and so am concerned more with how things work in practice that about any philosophy or ideology.

    If free movement of all peoples of the world resulted in modest movement of people with similar cultural values, then I would support that. However, given the difference in wealth, religions, commitment to democracy, relative size of the country etc I think this is not in the best interest of the UK.
    Why bother using so many words. ..............'I agree with free movement for people who look and think like me'......... would have done Clappers.

    Really? You need to ask such a basic thing? For the umpteenth time look at the history of other recessions where INDEPNDEDNT nations have pulled economic levers of their own choosing to rapidly improve their economies. Do Remainers have cognitive dissonance?

    I believe that the concept of free movement of people is a good one. The reason is that I think the earth should ultimately belong to all people.





    My friend and neighbour shares this exact view - our friendship is under strain (not from my side tho). This was his primary argument the other night.


    Where he got all dissonant was when I asked how this 'running away' from building up your own society benefits the many vulnerable left behind such as orphans? He seems completely unconcerned with the de-skilling of acutely vulnerable societies, happy to leave them to get on with it, denuded of young people and vital skills

    I don't recall any remainer saying that we'd see a recession between the vote and A50. We were all under the impression that they'd be within hours of each other.

    So in a nutshell you think the problem is the Euro and the ECB? Or is there more to it?

    If more to it, explain it to a person who doesn't know.
