Thanks Brexit!

Yeah, it's a shame, but the EU has demons it can't tame, if we had a strong leader like thatcher again, none of us would be in this mess, and she wouldn't put up with boris and his BS

Maybe however things have changed and countries within Europe are much more integrates than during the 80s. Brexit has not happened yet and it is already hurting the UK economy. Inflation is a direct result of the fall of the British Pound vs the Euro and the UK who previously was the fastest growing economy of the G7 is now at the very bottom. EU is quite obviously playing the clock and possibly hoping that 10 Downing will panick and accept any deal, i.e. a significant divorce bill and a Norway like trade deal. That would mean status quo minus a voice at the table... or the UK can throw all its negotiation power to minimise the divorce bill and use what's left to bail the economy when WTO tarifs come into play. It may not be sufficient but that is the price of taking back control ...

 

Boris and his bs? What about that drunk unelected misfit junker? hopefully a second referendum won't happen, us working class low educated people like me voted to leave the first time and everything I've seen since convinces me we were right.

Besides how can us working class low educated people be expected to understand the implications of a trade deal etc?

For an organisation that has NEVER had its accounts signed of, lead by a drunk old man who behaves like a juvenile delinquency... well good by and good riddance.

 

Who is the unelected junker?

The major fool in the pie is Corbin, total nutcase, fruitcake socialist scumbag. If the uk were told the truth rather than ******** about the effect of leaving the EU, do you really think most people would have voted out? No chance, it was voting for suicide economically, and no one can even jokingly claim otherwise. If they press ahead with it, then the UK needs a strong leadership to rise up from the conservatives and strike a 'thatcheresque' deal. May isn't the answer, but the other fools in charge of the other parties will be laughed at more than donald trump in a ginger wig dancing in a puddle of custard, singing 'Kim Jung for president'.

 

I think you guys are getting a bit emotional! From my opinion, Junker is the least of UK problem. The power resides with the member states and the EU has 27 of them all with plenty of political, economical, etc. motivations to make exiting the EU somewhat difficult ... IMO, the solution will not come from any highly hypothetical negotiated position unless UK politicians are ready to walk over the will of the British people on immigration. The only real solution is to settle the divorce bill and leave as soon as possible. The economy will tank and it will do so for some years but in the end a new equilibrium will emerge. In all honesty, all things being equal, the people on this forum will not be affected that much, a few thousand pounds hit on your annual budget will hardly make a difference. Personally, I was not allowed to vote and I respect the choice of the British people. Economically speaking London has lost a lot of its attractiveness and most major European capitals are on the rise so like many of my European colleagues I am now actively considering relocation ...

 

Yup, you are right, a bit emotional! But when all the leftie media start saying that the reason the uk voted to leave was because of low educated implying low intelligence it is a bit annoying; and it got rolled out as an excuse this week as well. 1) low education levels does not equal low intelligence and 2) almost everybody I know voted leave and most all have degrees/masters etc!

You are undoubtedly right in that the economy will dive for a bit, but settle down.

Time will tell, but in the interim I'll keep putting miles on my f car !!!

 

Olivier, I was thinking of this article in the Financial Times (https://www.ft.com/content/f4dedd92-43c7-11e6-b22f-79eb4891c97d?siteedition=uk#axzz4DlMSWb9T) when I read you post:

"Now Britain seems headed for recession. When I mentioned this in an email to a privately educated Oxford friend, he chastised me: “You seem unduly concerned about short-term financial impacts. This is a victory for democracy.” I see what he means. If you make £200,000 a year, a recession is just an irritation. But if you make £20,000, it’s a personal crisis, and if you now make £15,000, then soon you may be struggling to feed your children."

 

I actually graduated from Oxford myself amongst other ... and yes you are right at £200k, Brexit is an inconvenience. For the rest of the population (the vast majority), it will be tough. A victory for democracy? Not for me to comment. What i know for sure is i won't be eating any of the chlorine chicken or pink slime burgers that will flood the UK after TM and POTUS have signed their trade deal ... IMO, one good thing that may come out of Brexit is the inevitable privatisation of the NHS ... future will tell.
