    It didn’t take particularly long for me to find a link to the 30 year financial hit that I previously mentioned.

    Maybe read the whole thing instead of pulling very selective quotes to suit your obvious agenda?
    Go on, try it.
    It looks like a fairly balanced (if a little short) debate IMHO but the summary is this:


    This was from March 20th.
    Do you think sentiment will have changed since then?


    I love the way you've accused me of "pulling very selective quotes" & then using EXACTLY the same quote & claiming it had a different context!

    I love the way you miss the point completely!
    :rotfl:
    A well-educated and undoubtedly highly-paid crowd of 200 people still decided after the debate by a majority that Britain has a bright future.
    That must hurt you.

    I don't believe you, why want something that will crash the property market and then your wealth, that is just madness.
    .
    So all leavers are renters?
    Nearly as bad as all leavers didn't know what they were voting for.
    The Parliament remainer mps should have a vote to revoke article 50. That would put the cat among the pigeon's.

    I'm not sure that it's me that's missed the point.


    The article was linked by a Brexit supporter & was claimed that the audience of "movers & shakers" saw a bright future after Brexit.


    Leaving aside the fact that an audience at Coutts bank are hardly an average representation AND the fact that one of the speakers is a person who was dubbed "the brains of Brexit", it certainly wasn't a glowing example of their powers of persuasion.



    The result of the exit poll was 51% saying the future was bright. 47% saying it wasn't & 2% undecided.


    Not exactly a landslide in favour from your "well-educated and undoubtedly highly-paid crowd"


    More like a return to the average as shown in the referendum.


    As I said before. If that's the best you can come up with, perhaps it's time you thought again.

    Quite.
    The very opposite of the demographic which your remainer chums tell us are supportive of Brexit in fact.

    What, still?
    Ah of course, you're a remainer.
    You refuse to see the point even when it's tattooed into your retina.

    I posted the link originally.
    Nowhere did I say there was a landslide move in opinion; read my post again.
    Aren't you remainers persistently trying to tell us that there's a change in mood and that people have changed their minds?
    Well even with the demographic which you say is least-disposed towards Brexit my link proves that to be untrue.

    If you're inviting new evidence you may regret it.
    I try to post something a little more balanced for you hardcore remainers but still your preconceptions, biases and (bluntly) sheer hatred of Brexit disallows you from anything other than the usual blinkered tirades of negativity.

    You are going to find these coming months leading up to Brexit very difficult, as you learn just how much the EU (don't) care about their citizens.

    You know these deals that remainers and the pro-EU team insist are what's going to make all the difference post-Brexit?
    Trade deals like the EU/Mercosur one they've been raving about and hailing?
    Well .................... no.
    It's looking like it's not gonna happen.
    The EU’s long, drawn-out trade deal with South America is at risk of being rejected
    https://www.cnbc.com/2019/07/25/eu-mercosur-trade-deal-at-risk-of-being-rejected.html

    Trying to get 27 countries on one side to agree - surprisingly only to remainers - seems to be a very tricky thing to achieve.

    This is especially for Takedap who wanted better news:

    The country's top law specialist the Attorney General says that our MP's now do not have the power to stop a no-deal Brexit.
    He believes a no-deal Brexit could even occur partway through an snap election campaign
    https://inews.co.uk/news/brexit/no-deal-brexit-will-happen-on-31-october-even-if-mps-vote-to-bring-down-the-government-geoffrey-cox-says/

    Our top lawyer.
    No doubt some far-more-knowledgable remainer keyboard warrior will now impart their supposedly greater wisdom and tell us why the top lawyer is supposedly in fact wrong.
    :D

    Mishcon de Reya disagree with his assessment. What happened the last time the government took them on in the Supreme Court?

    Gina Miller will be funding this case too.

    Is this the same Geoffrey Cox who has just been ordered to apologise for misleading MPs:
