REMAINERS -there is no recession

bigfreddiel

For all those REMAINERS, the experts have just admitted there was no economic decline in the last three months as the experts predicted. Wrong!

Now they say growth will be weaker next year. This is a forecast from the very same experts!

Who do you believe now?

Can see things being worse next year, but because of Mark Carney rather than Brexit.

Anybody but you Freddie, anyone but you.

There is such a thing as winning with grace, Freddie. There's no need to start multiple threads on what is essentially the same subject.

It's traditional to stop campaigning once you've won.

So you keep saying that those who voted leave are now regretting it, and that most of those who voted leave were the uneducated and criminal classes, and hence the vote should be held again to get a proper mandate for change. Ooops, sorry I confused you with one of the people who voted remain, and who continually go on an on about it.

Seriously, yes both sides lied. The truth is that the result of Brexit will take a year or two to show significant impact, and the full impact will very much depend on what 'The Three Brexiteers' get in the way of a deal. Life is not as simple as both sides wanted us to believe, and in reality I think most British people realised that, and voted for their own reasons.

I voted LEAVE.

Not because the economy will tank or not.
There are six billion people too many in the world.
They are destroying the world through over consumption of scarce resources.

Like the people on the life boats from the Titanic, we have to make the hard decision of not letting those drowning in the freezing water into the boat, because we will all drown.

In the end, there is no alternative but to cleanse the world of the billions, so we need to decide which areas can be saved, create a force shield around them, and neutron bomb the rest.

Britain is racially diverse, so is ideal to be the Ark for the preservation of genetic diversity. We even have some Gurkhas.

So, use Mark Zuckerberg's $3 billion to hire scientists to create the Armageddon devices: Neutron bomb, Tsunami, Designer plague, etc. When the Pincher Holocaust subsides, we emerge from Great Britain to inherit the Earth.

That's why I voted LEAVE.

Wait till it's 16 billion, then look back and say I'm insane.

In victory, magnanimity. Because magnanimity will annoy the remnants more.

I suggest that you think through the mechanisms for these effects...

The basis for the forecasts of what would happen post-BREXIT were that businesses who rely on selling into the EU would suffer if they lost access to their key markets. It is hard to see how anyone could argue with that. In the longer term, of course, some of these businesses would be successful in opening up new markets; some would be so good that they would continue to be successful in selling into the EU despite facing new barriers; while new businesses would emerge to replace those that failed following the loss of their EU markets. Depending on how large or small you believe these effects would be, you can see the long-term post-BREXIT future as being either better or worse than the present.

However, none of this has happened yet. Article 50 has not been invoked, and so for now there are no barriers to selling into the EU. So the short-term bounce that we are experiencing tells us nothing about how well or otherwise the UK economy will cope.

In short, your post just about sums up the intelligence and awareness that characterised the pro-Leave campaign.
