Haha, I'm currently neutral on the whole thing. There is plenty of opportunities and risks. Until something actually starts getting implemented it's all fairly irrelevant.

But I maintain my logic is sound :p

Yep, acceptance that my father-in-law's whole team has just been put on half-hours because their firm does a lot of work in Europe and the Middle East, and they can no-longer guarantee the same level of work for the coming years. He's a senior engineer working in power station design, and is now having to look for a new job in his late 50s. Thanks, Brexit :rolleyes:

It's just a fun internet game to some of them it seems.

So work has suddenly dried up in the last two weeks with immediate effect? Sounds more like an employer cynically exploiting the situation to make cuts to me. Good luck to him finding work though.

This seems very premature. We still have the same access to the market as before. It is highly likely we will continue to have this market access as both potential PMs have put this at the top of their priorities. I would be very surprised if anything changed at all on this. I can understand holding back on investment until this is confirmed but to actually stop work is OTT.

Well you said lying was one of the reasons Remain lost, which doesn't make sense when you acknowledge Leave lied as well, who won, so lying doesn't seem to have had an effect on the outcome....contrary to your viewpoint.

Whereas a lot of people think it was the Leaves lies that did win the result - well, that and all the gullible morons who believed the lies of course

Lying caused Remain to lose and now Remain supporters are continuing to lie - they never learn. Thats my point.

No, lying caused Leave to win and they are still deluded - they never learn.

But we are still leaving the EU - remainers lying is not helping just reinforcing why are leaving. If the reasons for staying are so compelling there should be no reason to lie.
