The Brexit Thread

[theratman]

Found this from the bank of England interesting.

"Despite the bank’s continued assumption of Britain’s orderly departure from the EU, the Inflation Report showed that the probability of recession has risen in its view. The BoE sees a 30 per cent chance that growth in the year to the first quarter of 2020 will turn out negative.

If there is a no-deal Brexit, the pound will fall, inflation rise and GDP growth will slow, the bank forecast, reiterating its previous message that it could move interest rates up or down, depending on the balance of the various effects of such an outcome"

I love the narrative shift where by Brexit was never meant to be that good anyway, this can keep the cognitive dissonance rolling.

More like people expect some short term pain for long term good. Sometimes you need to make a bit of a sacrifice and all that.

It was never going to be magic from the start.

Yes thanks for providing another example of the shifting narrative.

Remind me about that short term pain, long term gain campaign slogan? Im sure in a few more years time the narrative wont be about economic gain but something else instead.

More like people were hoping that the EU would not be spiteful in the way that it conducted its negotiations so as to prevent Brexit from even happening in the first place, but given how the situation panned out, the fact that the best case scenario did not happen is no reason whatsoever to call the whole damn thing off, and FU EU for being a bunch of pricks and cocking up Brexit just like you cocked up your trade agreement with Ukraine by not considering Russia.

Sure that's one view point. There was always also people that just favoured independence, and all levels in between.

Why would anyone put that on a campaign slogan?

I guess the Libtards needs drawing and such in slogans. The people who Voted for Brexit did it with full intention of going all in and willingly accepted their vote. The Libtards are still crying because they lost or didn't see the need to vote

So are you saying that everyone who voted leave did so with the full picture and don't regret their vote now?

I'm saying those that voted to leave, wants to leave. Those crying after they voted should have done the Honorable thing and not voted like the rest of the whiners...

Why do you care? You're in SA after all. I don't get why you are so passionate about this. Feel free to ignore my question again.

I'm sure some people regret voting for the NP back in the day in order to become democratic. That's life, live with your vote, you made it.

That is why it's called a referendum.

I didn't ignore you, you are welcome to read back. But I'll say it once again: "Why is there so much interest in the US and Donald Trump on the exact forum?" Just because you guys don't like the topic, or not getting your way, now means the topic is not up for discussion? Sorry mate...

I have an interest in it. UK gone, Germany will be the next to follow suit

The EU has not been spiteful. They consistently applied the rules they've applied to everyone else. Some in the UK were under the impression that the UK was a special snowflake and thus the EU would fall over themselves to provide the UK with terms entirely in the UK's favour. Amazingly that didn't happen

Right, and the EU were the paragons of virtue and were in no way responsible for the way Ukraine got fscked up. And we don't have videos of EU bureaucrats smirking to themselves that they effectively turned the UK into a colony.

Get real.

Polls have suggested that is the case. The reason being that they were misled about what would happen and how it would happen.

Part of it seems to be a delusion that this is about conservatives versus liberals.

That really didn't answer my question. Why do you PERSONALLY care?

And I don't post on the Trump thread btw.

In case it wasn't obvious I'm pro Brexit but for Schadenfreude reasons.

You are very much mistaken with your little sneaky snowflake comment, the snowflake label belongs to you and your ilk, wear it with pride my man.
