So who here actually believes that it takes over 5 months to prepare for the negotiations?

David Davis and his department whatever its called, what exactly are they doing? I bet they finished a week ago and are busy browsing the web and playing games.

5 months to plough through every trade agreement we have all the eu laws international laws try to work out what can be done what cant what law overrides what.

going though all the industries and sectors and working out goals etc.


5 months seems optimistic.

Readers on the daily mail seem to think we can do it tomorrow.

Agreed. Before going into negotiations I would want a year at least which fortunately May seems to agree with unlike Leadsom who said she would do it the day after she was elected. What a disaster that would have been.
 
The biggest recession of recent times happened whilst we were inside the EU, and we recovered from that, just about.

So many broken records from the remain camp talking about how the UK is dooomed. It's gotten old.

No we were in the process of recovering from the Crash and it had sod all to do with the EU. Bank liberalisation without safeguards led to the Crash.

Tomorrow expect rates to fall to 0.25 or 0% in an effort to try to stimulate any growth. Most experts are now saying we are headed for a recession, not maybe. The only talking point is how deep it is going to be. But what do expert know, right.
 
People who voted on what murdoch's papers told then need a lobotomy, im embarrassed for them. I have respect for people who voted leave based on evidence they researched themselves, but people voting leave based on Johnson/gove/Murdoch need to just go away...now.

The experts were divided. Nobody has a crystal ball that actually works.

You make it sound like the outcomes were *knowable*. They blatantly weren't.

It was a crazy referendum, in some respects, because you were voting on a choice of two unknowns.

In short, we were asked to gamble. Better off in or better off out?

Don't kid yourself that smart people voted one way and stupid people voted the other way. It's nonsense.

And frankly the vocal, angry remainers who refuse to accept the result, and who keep telling us only idiots voted to leave, are not exactly winning any respect. Just making themselves look like prats.

Irrelevant, the recession had nothing to do with the EU

This one should it happen in the next year will almost certainly be because of the decision to leave the EU
 
The drop in interest rates, possibly to negative, has nothing to do with 'Brexit'. It will happen worldwide.

Most people who understand these things have been predicting a rise soon, no one was expecting a drop.
So a month after a vote that shocked the system and the drop in interest rates has nothing to do with Brexit.
Righto, I guess the Farage effect is still muddling minds.

But the point is we'll get over it. It'll be a little blip and then, somehow, the world will keep turning. The sun will still rise, even outside of the EU.

Ah ok, if its only a little blip who cares
I mean anyone losing their job will be very happy to know it was only a little blip
I mean why worry its only a little blip when we could have had growth

Project fear looking far more like project reality yet?
Project make it up as we go along, vanished into the long grass with the so called leaders

Yes, the Sun will still rise. But it will rise on a Britain which is a bit poorer, a bit less free, and a fair bit less influential.
 
LOL, no. For most of us it's business as usual.

Frankly most of us are just getting on with it.

This thread should be renamed: "Thread for bitter remainers to gnash their teeth and call everyone else names."

That would perfectly sum it up.

Well, apart from the market instability nothing has really started to bite or change yet, we're still in the EU for now, so business can indeed go on as usual, at least for those businesses still getting orders or not hit by all the uncertainty. Everyone is currently free to live out their little private fantasy of what the future will look like (be it all shiny and sovereign or grim and gloomy)

Let's see how this all looks in a year or two from now when the exit negotiations are in full swing. Perhaps the negotiations will go well and indeed it'll all be a "blip" and nothing to worry about. I hope so. But perhaps they won't. In which case, I'm sure there'll be plenty of bitter name calling for you to enjoy.
 
Ah leaving others to clear up the mess I get it.

There was a referendum, people voted, everybody is now doing their job to implement the result.

It isn't really a mess; it's a situation that is being handled. There is "uncertainty", and due to this our house-of-cards financial systems are taking a bit of a hit.

Because apparently a lot of our prosperity is tied to the "confidence" and "instinct" of financial traders, as opposed to anything concrete.

You know there are bigger problems than Brexit. Our entire economy, along with the economies of most developed nations, are a ridiculous charade, based on everybody owing everybody else masses of debt, and having no way to repay it.

What we really need is a cold, hard, reality check. And for various bubbles to burst. And then to figure out how we can transition away from a future that's only sustainable if we somehow manage to have endless economic growth with finite resources. And how we're going to deal with less and less employment. How we can avoid utterly degrade our planet's ability to sustain us, by destroying the various natural cycles. And various other real 21st century problems.

If anything is a mess, it's not that we left the EU, it's that our entire system is a house of cards. In another 20 years we might wish our problems were as small as the UK leaving the EU.

They have been predicting a rise soon for the past 5 years :p Guess what, they can't, the central banks are punishing savers and attempting to get rid of physical currency to encourage people to 'stimulate' the economy. The Western world has had ZIRP for over 5 years? NIRP already exists in Sweden and Denmark, to say it has anything to do with the Plebs in Britain leaving the EU is lol.

Rubbish. You only do that when the economy is in a mess. Prior to brexit it was a question of when rates would be going up. Was expected to at least once this year.

Soon we will have the stupid reality that banks will be charging for people to have credit balances.
