Re: Brexit
Want to hear something scary this Halloween?
Today we’re closer to Brexit than we are to the 3rd June (which feels like a few weeks ago).
Those negotiating on our behalf still have no deal, no plan and no clue.

Re: Brexit
The IMF forecast Brexit armageddon if the UK votes to leave the EU
https://www.theguardian.com/business/20 ... referendum
The only problem was, none of it happened
'The UK will fall into recession in 2017'
'Brexit would spark a stock market crash'
'Brexit will spark a collapse of house prices'
“While recognising that this choice is for UK voters to make and that their decisions will reflect both economic and non-economic factors, directors agreed that the net economic effects of leaving the EU would likely be negative and substantial,”
Now, Standard & Poor credit reference agency are coming out with exactly the same rubbish.
Who was is who said that economists only exist to make astrologers look good.

Are you natrurally tiresome or do you have to work at it.
I recall you saying recently that Brexit will not happen followed by a posting the next day warning of the terrible consequences if it does , so even you can be inconsistent

Re: Brexit
Not inconsistent at all John, if my suspicions about Larry's ghost writer are correct, then it would definitely not be the voice of reason. Probably a bit too intellectual for poor Jack to comprehend, you need to be a Mail reader to appreciate the subtle nuance.johnds wrote: 01 Nov 2018, 09:25JackJack Staff wrote: 31 Oct 2018, 18:40towny44 wrote: 31 Oct 2018, 17:11...

I do find it amusing how you guys have to trash the reputation of any sources/opinions that do not coincide with your Brexity dream.
It's almost as if you know that your belief system is wrong.
