Brexit

[Oracle]

You are speaking like one of our lifelong state sponger mps

Reality is starting a new enterprise, kicking in the day job, investing a fortune is not normally amenable to simple economic assessment, it is done on the basis of belief backed by evidence, not on immediate short term but what it might become.

Using your short termist thinking that cannot see past the present, there would be no private sector or public funding at all.

So it is far more pertinent that Singapore, Canada, Australia are doing better than EU , and that EU is a titanic on a path to financial self destruction than it is a myopic short term fear of loss on leaving the present arrangement.

It is laughable quoting “ expert” economists when almost all including imf, boe, ECB missed 2008 coming, and all the uk professors told us failing to join the euro was death. The economists I follow were spot on with both. They say the euro will collapse taking EU with it.

Also it is vital to assess the criteria which are the catalyst that makes that future possible ( ie own trade deals, so no customs union)

So speaks a guy who has been involved in setting up businesses exporting round the world, even to China, in fields such as robotics, imaging and biotechnology, Companies that refuse to take leaps of faith into the future die.

You cannot see past the end of your nose stolly.

No time to answer all your points WP as I’m on my way to a work meeting but the 2nd referendum is needed because the first was so flawed. It put Brexit over as if it was a single thing when, if the past three years have taught us anything, it’s nothing like that. Brexit could be soft, medium or hard and all could effect our day to day standard of living in a myriad of ways. Already the country has spent something like £100 billion trying to get Brexit done and will have to spend a shit load more in the years ahead. Everybody makes out that we just need to get this deal done but this deal is only the end of the beginning of Brexit. It’s singularly the most stupid thing ever and the irony is that, even if it happens, the U.K. now has possibly the strongest and largest pro EU lobby in Europe; rejoining will be inevitable.

Also for such a major constitutional referendum as the original was, they clearly should have had a 60% or more threshold to avoid all the caffuffle that we’ve had since.

Oh and did I mention all of the lies in the original campaign....
