Brexit thread - what happens next

[krooton]

There was a bit of a hoo-ha about the "She's speaking Welsh" story as to if it was fabricated or not.

It did make me think that, even with Tom having an interview with the paper explaining his facebook post, there is nothing stopping people making things up, and saying they happened in person, as people don't need additional witnesses for these sorts of things.

Not saying he made it up btw, just that we'll never really know.

From a man who must a crystal ball then?

No one does and that is the point.

People who have voted leave have done the equivalent of putting every penny they had on the lottery and crossing their fingers.

People have the right to protest against a democratic outcome but they cannot be allowed to hinder its application indefinitely.

It's obviously picking the worst out, but apartheid was ultimately a democratic decision - would you not agree that protest and repealing it was a good move?

From a man who must a crystal ball then?

No crystal ball, just a small pinch of common sense and realism. Something that appears to be severely lacking in some people at the moment.

Given hoe salty remainers are all apparently experts in financial markets all of a sudden and can predict with great deals of confidence things will be terrible so long as we stay out of the EU, I'm surprised they're not all Billionaires given their Warren Buffeteque abilities to read the future.

Have you looked at the UK financial markets recently?

Leaked EU document planning for much much more Europe

Good find, i'll now back it up with some good viewing to cheer the Remain camp up. Fear not, Patrick Minford is here....

Poor baiting is poor.

No mate that can be your job - it was your idea after all

You linked me to a 'plan' written by a blogger, I came back and asked you what role he had within government but I don't recall seeing a response.

Isn't that roughly equivalent to well developed fan art?

Confidence isn't really confidence when it is founded on nothing.

Going back a few pages and check.

Its your argument, if its there, go and get it.

China have already said it will take 10 years for a trade deal to be established after we have left.

It's called an opening gambit in the negotiations. Their economy can wait longer than ours for such a deal. Nevertheless they will want access to our market.

The lower value of Sterling is needed for us to rebalance, it was going to happen either way. The share prices will bounce back.

 

[Sankari]

Just not all of them*

As much as I have a distaste for people who voted that way, they aren't all racist lunatics.

^^ True.

Given how salty remainers are all apparently experts in financial markets all of a sudden and can predict with great deals of confidence things will be terrible so long as we stay out of the EU, I'm surprised they're not all Billionaires given their Warren Buffetesque abilities to read the future.

I'm not an expert in the markets and am reliant on reporting and other's take on things. That's why I was watching with interest this morning the expert economists being interviewed, saying they weren't sure what the impact was going to be and wouldn't say we wouldn't go into recession or depression, but wouldn't say we would either.

If the experts don't know how bad (or not) it's going to be, forgive people for being 'salty'. I do assume that when you say salty you mean worried for their futures, yes?

Valid point. But you cannot compare leaving the EU to apartheid.

No, his petulant comment means what it shoulds like; you lost, ner ner.

 

[platypus]

No I wasn't; I was just trying to highlight that there are democratic reasons for protest and overturning previous democratic decisions.

Something a bit better as an example I suppose; poll tax?

 

[do_ron_ron]

are you not descended from immigrants? I know I am. Should I go back to where they came from?

Yes, all you Angles and Saxons coming over here and .....................

Then why was this was not stated before the vote by anyone in the leave campaign?
