    I have no issue with the leave campaign being full of lies if that's what you want to call them.
    Personally, I would say they were like pretty much most political arguments these days - built on subjectivity and then exaggerated out as far as they can be.

    Anyone with half a brain knows that ALL political parties do this and I note you're not even acknowledging the more spurious claims from remain.

    Unfortunatly it's a bit late for you to be crowing about the quality of argument in the campaign now.

    That is a rather puerile sentence. I will continue to point out the lies as long as they keep coming. You are very welcome to do the same for the remain campaign lies.

    I'm afraid that I've moved on and am much more interested in looking towards our future and at how our government takes advantage of this democratic mandate and how our businesses look to exploit opportunities outside the EU.
    By all means you can keep sulking in a corner, or signing pointless petitions or attending ridiculous marches. I'm sure you'll have opportunity to revisit this nonsense at the next GE by voting lib dem.

    Okay, but declines in commercial real estate activity is usually not a good sign for the health of the economy.

    The point is more that developers will now be less likely to want to invest in building new property in the UK in the first place because the risk they won't be able to sell the building on at a profit is perceived to be greater.

    I would prefer to view a little more of the picture over a little more time.
    I find it difficult to believe, that no company has every pulled out of a commercial property deal before.
    I fully accept that the commercial market will slow down for a few months.

    I wonder if Osborne's replacement will scrap part of the recent new BTL taxes then.

    If the Thatcher Clone wins she may simply tell her Chancellor to be more BTL friendly.
    Few people are capable of expressing with equanimity opinions which differ from the prejudices of their social environment. Most people are incapable of forming such opinions.
