A brief pithy revue of the campaign

Interestingly when the remainers wanted to find five good reasons to stay in the EU they couldn't !!!!!!!

The economic scaremongering has proved a little wisp of mist.

Just remind us how long ago since we severed all ties with the EU?

Wake up smell, the coffee

Is that your way of saying we haven't left the EU yet, in fact we haven't even triggered Article 50 and that any tangible changes are yet to occur and that important economic nations are already getting nervous?

 

[gasbanni]

Oh dear Oh dear your in denial.......

 

[noseall]

We ARE still operating as before the Brexit result - i.e. we remain part of the EU and are enjoying trade privileges as such. Nothing has changed (yet) in that respect.
It looks likely that little will change in regards to immigration or funding for the NHS, as confirmed by our current government.
The only thing that will change is that we will lose our EU privileges and powerful economic nations will treat us with a great deal more economic scepticism. Great.

Hardly anything has changed so far, apart from confidence and trust. The Bank of England is running its legs off to try to keep things stable.

I thought we were mean't to be in a recession, house prices shattered, economic melt down, planet stops spinning etc etc if the majority voted leave?

Show me the quote where you were told that. One of the nutters claimed to have been told the sky would fall and that he bought a stock of props, but I'm sure he was lying.

What do you know about investment decisions in UK car plants?

And what do you know about relocation plans in the UK's financial sector (which is bigger than our manufacturing)?

Do you remember being told "£350m a week for the NHS?"

Most sensible predictions were that these things (obviously not the exact things you mention, but the most serious effects )are likely to happen when we leave the EU, as that's when the full negative effects will be felt, with the trade tariffs, loss of financial passports etc. Not immediately after the vote, although if you buy anything that is imported or made with imported goods, it will be going up in price as a direct impact of the vote

It was up to the government to make plans for a brexit vote.
They were caught with their trousers down.
They thought the majority would vote remain. Idiots.

Exactly. They started talking about informal talks with the eu prior to article 50, but hadon't absolutely no authority to say that, and have subsequently been proven wrong.

This could well be a major factor in the upheaval in the immediate aftermath of the vote.

Cameron was so arrogant he never thought that the vote would go against him. Consequently, the government did not prepare a 'Plan B'. This was a criminal abnegation of the government's responsibility. Had a proper 'Leave' plan been prepared beforehand, the rest of the world would see that things were under control. It was the absence of a plan, rather than the vote itself, which led to the immediate loss of confidence in the markets.

That's recent, but prior to joining EU £1 was approx. $2.50 so being in EU slaughtered the pound.

 

[JohnD]

Over 40 years, eh? And what did it do in less than 40 hours after the 51.9% vote?

Today it is $1.307, so it hasn't "bounced back."
However, a year ago it was worth $1.57.
