What you are missing is that the pound depreciated significantly after the referendum and it hasn’t shown up in rampant inflation, despite outcry on here that it would.

 

so, just missing out on historical data/facts!

 

 

Where did i say rampant? I said there will be inflationary pressure undoubtedly and that has all sorts of implications with managing the economy and that includes interest rates too.

Just in the same way Spider has/is suffering with the whole Brexit uncertainty let me give you a real life example from my last employers. They bought 50% of their raw material from Canada and saw around a 20% increase  because of the adverse £ v $ following the brexit vote. That resulted in a 5% increase in cost of goods to the supermarkets. Just in the same way the company I am doing some consultancy work for now had a 50% price increase imposed by their Irish butter supplier in 2016 due in part to the adverse exchange rate which eventually works its way onto the end user.

Don’t forget the deep economic shock and trillions of jobs that would go G.

 

Oooh...the outcry on here.......

If what we are told is true, then the backstop was at the insistence of the EU.

 

What? The backstop is the only way to make our withdrawal compatible with EU law and the good Friday agreement.

Or we could stay in the single market. Or split regulatory process between NI and rest of GB.

Those are the options and have always been the options. This is about our commitment to the good Friday agreement. And the need for the EU to manage their borders with 3rd parties according to their rules and to be consistency.

how the bollocks does that work

you could have 66 per cent voting for the leave options and still end up staying

Indeed. So I don’t know. Offer leave vs remain, then choices for how to leave? 

And already it’s a better set of options than Cameron came up with.

Just for balance......anyone see The Times article today on Sadiq Khan deliberately misleading the financial markets over the Crossrail delays ?

 

Night night London Left......don’t have nightmares over your beloved failing wanker of a Mayor x

:D

Why do you give a fuck about something that doesn't affect you? 

I doubt he has sleepless nights about what a roofer from Bolton thinks about him, despite all your probable Twitter rantings 

In the same way Londoners don't give a fuck about what the mayor of greater Manchester is up to 

He's kept down the cost of commuting so that'll do for me

The irony of someone who posts about President Trump :)

I bet he has sleepless nights with the spiralling murder rate, the lack of affordable housing he promised etc......

You don’t, .....though it may just be affected by his misleading....get my point now fella ?

I bet he doesn't at all, he's a politician, so he'll just be happily collecting his £145K per year salary, and sleeping like a baby I reckon

I post about Donald Trump in a jovial sense and pick holes in your continued defence of him, which is like shooting fish in a barrel at times. I worry about things I can affect. That isn't one. 

Nor do I have some vendetta against someone whom I can't influence in power but reckon my stock market portfolio might be affected. Perhaps I would invest elsewhere

Best not get started on Boris then 

Garden bridge 

Water cannons 

The bikes weren't even his idea but gets credited with it 

And a lack of affordable housing 

Or did it not affect your portfolio then?

Aye they could do with them for the civil unrest you predict if there isn't a brexit 

 

No, for those feckless EU lickspittles contaminating our TV screens with their silly fucking flags and moronic chants outside Parliament. They'd be the first target and then anyone even remotely associated with those Antifa wankers would be next.

We should not be missing perfect opportunities like this for target practice on utter cretins like these.

So basically you're up for the state committing acts of violence against anyone you personally disagree with?

Hello 1930's Europe! Its hilarious how un-British someone like Mr Churchill would consider your views to be. Ironic really.

Agreed, it should be wheeled out anytime there is one of these "protests" about anything - they're all equally ridiculous, no matter what it is they're spouting off about. Each side does it, knowing the opposite side will turn up. 

Water cannon all protestors, it's the only way - no matter if they're Antifa, EDL, FLA or Vegans against Brexit - tar them all with the same brush and get them water cannoned and baton charged. Hopefully they'll eventually realise it's just a massive waste of time and effot, and they'll decide to do something a bit more constructive with their time instead of just aimlessly trudging around the streets singing silly songs and generally making the place look untidy
