No accusations - just stating the obvious.

However, please do tell me where I have said all will be well and rosy post Brexit short term..


You on the other hand continue to chastise all who appeared to vote leave, propped up with assumptions of our long term economic status being sh!t and pushing us into poverty..
You, nor anyone on this forum knows how our economy will be in a couple of years time, so please stop spreading self imposed opinions....

You haven't and that's why I keep asking, short medium and long term. I am fed up after 4 years of Leavers telling me to get over it, it's all OK we have a plan, but we couldn't possibly tell you what it is.

And as I have asked before, what are these self imposed opinions I am spreading that you don't like?

Your fed up of others telling you to get over it - geez, the irony in what you have just said is beyond belief with all the ongoing hostility and disdain towards in your words, the 'Leavers'... or more correctly worded, ones whom do not share the same views as some on here..
As for the giving you my thoughts on the situation, yeh - dream on.. Politics and Religion are two very subjective matters that draw out some rather nasty sides in people, and I am not going there.

God, you sound just like a kid I went to primary school with! Happy to push, unable to provide coherent answers.

I take it from your reply you had no real concept of why you voted leave, which is fair enough. For many people it was just a just instinct, for others understandably, they believed the persuasive lies that Cummings was peddling. But it's difficult for me to see after 4 years, how any of it will be remotely beneficial to the future UK.

Simply because I choose not to discuss my choice and reasoning with you, or others of the same ilk - does not therefore mean I have no concept of the choices I make... and more importantly, the reasons I make them.

As I see it the UK has made the biggest financial mistake it will make in a least a generation, one from which it will take a long time to recover, if it ever does. I have also stated on several occasions on this Forum that I would be more than happy if that opinion turned out to be wrong, once again, why does that mean I am slagging the UK off.
You may very well be correct and the UK has made a bad financial decision. But what if it is a good political decision for the UK people. Should the economy come before every other issue?
Either way we don't know the answer yet so your only guessing.

can you give a example of a "good political decision" what is a bad financial decision, that works out good for the people. given that with less money we can't afford asgood NHS, Education,Social services and with less money in people pocket they can't afford quality food, luxury items, housing.

No. It’s all about sovereignty! You just can’t beat sovereignty. The NHS for example is running out of money, as the red bus hasn’t turned up as planned, but it can still order in drugs and stuff, because of sovereignty!

If life in the EU has been so wonderful for our economy, why do we still have waiting lists for operations and social housing and why can't all pensioners afford a month in Benidom every year?
If another country wants to trade with us and our products can be manufactured to their standards, or vice versa, then let's do business. The rest of the rules can be mucked up by our own useless politicians without the need to involve the Brussels brigade.

and do you remember what it was like pre EU, always running with the begging bowl out to the USA, and finally going to the IMF for the biggest loan ever, cause we were in effect bankrupt. so yes the EU has been overall good for out economy.
as for the NHS the waiting list could be wiped out over night is the government want to, but they rather spend the money in TAX cuts to their friends
