If this a remain argument against Brexit it's very weak.

Nah that's not the argument, but it's the aspect of EU membership that's likely to be most visible to a lot of people - their summer holiday. We already had outrage last summer due to the plummeting GBP, in a few years we'll have outrage as summer holidays become less convenient.

You have obviously never travelled internationally. Then you'd realise how bad it can get.

Only to a few continents. I know how bad it can get, and how I can usually skip the worst of the queues within the EU because I've got an EU passport.

Oh. Another opinion piece.

Other than the fact we voted to leave, isn't virtually everything about Brexit opinion at this stage....?

Oh.
So if you post an opinion piece it's fine but if I post one ................

Because that's all your link in # 2124 is.

So who is the Minister in charge of Brexit?

Who is in charge of Brexit for the EU?

Barnier looks increasingly like a lost sheep. Blaming the UK to cover up the EU's lack of cohesive policy making.

Where is it all then?

Again?

From that link - which you obviously just totally disregarded - or the ongoing posts in this very thread which again you generally ignore?
It really doesn't matter does it, because you ignore it all.
Well the "hands-over-eyes-and-sing-la-la-la" approach does not negate what's there you know.

Read from this bit down in the link I provided:

Yet there was good news from the start. Within weeks Britain experienced an economic boom; the much-needed depreciation of the pound had an immediate impact on exports and set off a tourism bonanza.
Then no less than 27 countries with a combined GDP of more than £40 trillion – over two-thirds of the global economy – were up for taking advantage of Brexit and striking new trade deals with the UK dwarfing the benefits of the EU’s £12 trillion single market.
Nor did British or international companies succumb to the nervous breakdowns expected. Au contraire.
The US tech giant Amazon doubled down on its commitment to the UK, creating hundreds more highly skilled tech jobs. SoftBank committed to substantial new investment; so too did Google with its development plans for huge new London headquarters.

Oh and before you even think about dismissing these, think about which are not factual?

A clear illustration of how little people actually know. Simply reacting to events as they occur in indignation as it's fits their argument. Rather than following current events all the time. The fall in Sterling was totally predictable. In reality the movement produced a huge welcome benefit to the wider economy.

Absolutely, are these the very same people who know actually little that are empowered to vote on referendums! So do they know or not? Or they know about certain things but not others?

The huge welcomed benefits produced [so far] a revised downgraded annual growth and sluggish quarter performance in the economy (factual).

My link in 2124 is about a Citi Bank report. Not opinion.
(opinion with 'o' by the way)
Let's move on?

I will happily move on when your error has been corrected.
(Missed "o" noted and corrected.)

Your linked piece is an opinion; a report using the words of another interpreting a report by "analysts" at Citi with not even a link to this alleged report.
This may explain how you could dig the source up yet no major media covers the contents of the piece.
No evidence of fact there then, which makes it ........... opinion.

Now unless you wish to further attempt to muddy these waters let's do indeed move on.

Politico, the publication so beloved of Europhiles, has released another EU-negative piece following their "Dishonest Germans" piece yesterday:

6 crises that could spoil Europe’s summer

From Italy’s beaches to the Himalayas, here are the problems that could force politicians out of the pool.

That's a rather condescending comment to the UK's electorate. Far more likely to feel the impact of immigration at a local level for example. Than have an interest in matters financial and economic at National level.

GDP is only a very rough measure. Other key indicators have been poor for many years. Change is a long slow process.
