Carney does a u-turn!

This is all so depressingly resonant, facts and logic on one side, emotion and misinformation on the other.

Aw bless.
I was alive when that happened but it was an awful long time ago. Try to keep up with today.

I wasn't, but still find the above response awfully patronising.

Another snarky sort of response. I would have hoped that at your age you would have developed some wisdom, not just bitterness.

Me bitter?
I believe the cap fits you much more snugly.

I haven't lost the plot. I have an opinion that is clearly different to yours. Last time I checked, it was still allowed to have different opinions, and to articulate them.

So why criticise and attempt to belittle the OP then?

Actually don't reply.

It is quite remarkable just how emotional this referendum debate has been and become, it seems far more strength of feeling than standard arguments of labour vs tory for example, unfortuantely with what I see as a worryingly new low in political lying in the campaigns, which suceeded in ramping up the gut feelings.

Airbus and European research centres (particularly pharmaceutical) are very likely to disappear.

Singapore Airlines aren't renewing their leases on the A380's and won't be ordering any more. Airbus may well face an uncertain future.

If the worst case scenario happens and every Japanese company switches their European base to within the EU then that's 140,000 jobs gone. I don't personally think that we would lose every job but there's serious potential for multiple tens of thousands to go.
.

I think the worst case is far more serious than that. Yes there may be directly employed 140,000 but how many more are dependent on those jobs both from suppliers and recipients of the income spent - maybe 2-3x the number if not more?

I reckon some people are actually wringing their hands in glee in hope of the prospect of the economy bombing (or not) just so they can say 'told you so'.

As an earlier poster suggested.....'all pretty depressing'

It's human nature that everyone tries to find evidence that proves that they were right. Both Brexiteers and Remainers seize on any evidence that backs their case.

Politicians will spend the next few years arguing whether it should be 'soft' brexit or 'hard' brexit so I expect many years of confusion and uncertainty ahead.
