Gotcha.

Despite what you say, I don't think you have got it.

Gotcha.

I don't know how you've deduced that from what I wrote. Perhaps you'd like to explain.

Which is true of pretty much everything the brexiteers have posted in the past two years...

Mind you, it’s also interesting how the brexiteer language has been changing recently. They’ve stopped talking about the “easiest trade deal ever” and the “good deal” the EU will bend over backwards to give us. Now the only game in town is “no deal” and the only real discussion is about just how much worse off we’ll be.

They’ve won the battle and lost the war. Even Pyrrhus would impressed.

Thanks for your detailed rebuttal of the article in question.

If you seriously think not answer me this: who formulates your referred-to government Brexit predictions. Are they by pro-Brexit or by pro-remain authors?

I don't know who writes them but there's no strong evidence that they are lying. It's generally accepted that we will be worse off post-Brexit. I think that even most Brexiteers think that.

Maybe read post 11842 again & it'll correct your post to this: "I don't know who writes them but there is strong evidence that they are lying. It's not generally accepted that we will be worse off post-Brexit. I think that only most Remainers think that."
There, that's better.

Sorry. You’re completely correct. Three blokes and you think that we won’t be worse off.

P.S.
You don't even see the irony in there, do you?
As in, few blokes and you think will will all be worse off.

I can’t make out what you’re trying to say but you appear to claim to be a fiscal expert so I shall leave it there.

More correct than a bunch of desperate remainers (and posters on here) telling me we're all doomed I think, because with their record there's far more chance I am correct than that you are.

I'm a remainer, and I don't think that we are all doomed (I'm certainly not). I suspect that we might end up slightly worse off, but I'm not pretending that I think I know what will happen, because I don't (nobody does). I voted remain because I was happy with the way things were. But I accept the result of the referendum, because a lot of people were not happy and protest voted against things like school places, medical waiting lists, outright racism (there were some), and of course the biggy, less powerful hoovers imposed on us.

I have come of the opinion that it's not worth wasting my time posting here because it's obvious that certain remainers aren't interested in debate, they just want the opportunity to prevaricate which is a shame.

Roll on the next supposed EU 13-week deadline or better still, roll on March next year.

I agree. It is a waste of time posting on this topic (or even reading the repetitive, tiresome posts of the remainers). Nothing anyone has said has remotely convinced me to change my mind about the way I voted, and in fact my conviction is even stronger than it was that we should leave. This is especially in view of the behaviour I've seen of some of our own oh, so honourable, disreputable figures that clearly have vested financial interests involved (I don't) in staying in the EU, and to the intransigence of the EU organisation, which I have grown to dislike intensely, from a stance of relative indifference.

If nothing else, though, the period since the vote has shown what a rotten, dishonourable heap of moneyed and often past-it individuals there are attempting to exert their influence over events. It has certainly been an eye-opener.

So I'll carry on ignoring the remainer posts, while briefly skimming the boards for other info.

Absolutely correct. Johnson, Gove, Davies, Rees-Mogg - a truly rotten dishonourable heap if ever there was one.
