The laughter from the audience quickly turned to sniggers as they heard the UK described as “a beacon of open, free trade around the world”

:rotfl:

In fact, as Political Scrapbook has repeatedly pointed out, German firms aren’t dreading Brexit like many the newspapers here think.

In fact they would rather protect the EU Single Market.

Why? Because the EU is a far bigger market than the UK, and preserving the EU makes more sense to them, financially and politically.

Yep. I've said this so many times on here. I wonder when it will sink in. If ever.

You do realise share prices in for example the FTSE250 are a barometer of investor expectations right?


Peak shock was June 23rd.


Investors recognise all will be well, trade will largely be unaffected and life goes on. I deal with investors every day of my life, they're a canny lot and expectation is everything whether it be shares or arable farmland (just involved with putting together finance for 185 acres of merely arable land with no planning, no buildings selling for £1.6 million - the market is booming, nobody I deal with expects anything other than a great investment landscape)


The daily staff turnover in the City I understand runs into the thousands, so a few thousand moving into the EU over 2 -4 years is totally irrelevant and many more jobs will be created through new opportunities anyway.


You guys desperately cling to little ledges of negative news.

When other left wing outlets have not reported such events and have actually reported that German business, politicians and citizens are actually concerned and want a deal to be done, alongside ignoring overtures by senior politicians to Merkel to make sure a good deal is done, I think we can safely say this website is bias guff and is a footstep away from fake news.

I think we all agree that the EU do indeed believe in trading with white christian european countries and imposing tariff and no tariff barriers on other countries including our near neighbours the blck developing countries of africa.
You don't need to constantly repeat that.

You are right, adult business people will stop trading with one another and walk away from prosperous trade, it's just bound to happen, we all welcome the harm

Eastern border states that take great comfort from British military and intelligence engagement, will happily seek to sour relations with Britain,.course they will durrr, I mean the threat of Putin looming large wont matter at all, as long as they can whip us for daring to leave the EU

I'm just looking forward to the excuses when the bad times fail to materialise.


I saw ex Bank Of England Danny Blanchflower (Mr doom) spinning away past wrong predictions on The Daily Politics yesterday.


I wonder what excuses the remaoners will be making a year from now?

You mean like this?

I firmly believe a drastic deterioration of our economy in the coming months will force the May government to think twice about a hard brexit.

Any update on that?

I've happily admitted I'll eat my words if the bad times never materialize. It'll be an amazing relief if we manage to not muck it up.

On the contrary, you've been remarkably silent on what you plan to do when the good times never materialize, though.

Are you talking about the better than expected performance of our services sector in Q3-Q4?

Fueled by credit.

“Levels of outstanding borrowing are approaching the 2008 peak, and the growth rate of net lending is at its highest since 2005. Alarm bells should be ringing."

Ring. Ring.

But you also believe in the end of globalisation which means adult businesses walk away from prosperous trade.

Are you two people sharing a single password?
