Do you read the Mail then?

Only the front page, that's enough.

i could easily flood this page with links from Bloomberg, but you wouldn't read them because that would mean you would have to engage with the argument.

Quite happy to engage in a debate, I keep away from arguments whenever possible as they tend to get personal.

Problem with Brexit there are two polar opinions, with very little middle ground, time will prove one or the other correct, for the sake of the UK I sincerely hope your side of the debate is correct, the currency markets are telling me otherwise, that could all change.

I do fear that the polarisation of views is largely due to the digital age where you can live your life watching a particular news channel, read a particular buzz feed and have facebook only show you posts from friends you agree with.
I'd hoped that with Brexit, both sides of the argument would come together to agree on an exit plan which the EU would choose to look to be helpful with and achieve the best outcome for everyone. I was far too over-optimistic.
The referendum was a polar decision. In or Out. I think it is now clear that we should just get out and then look to build bridges rather than trying to keep everyone happy all the way through the process which is impossible.
An Australian politician put it most succinctly;
"You had a vote, you decided to leave so what's there to discuss, just bloody leave"

The currency markets are a very good independent guide to what the considered opinion is for an economic future with 2 caveats;
1, They can be wrong
2,It is a guide to how much they think THEY can prosper which is slightly different than that of the average person.

Rather than just the currency markets check out some of the Brexit backers. It's funny how JRM claims the Brexit divided will be worth £135 billion, yet he hasn't invested a single penny in a UK company. Preferring Russian, latin america and Europe While his mate Cripin Odney took out half a billion bet that UK companies shares collapse post Brexit

But is that a bet on the effect of Brexit or the type of Brexit.
He may believe a hard brexit will be good but be betting it doesn't happen.
A fudged half-arsed mess would be the worst result for all and is looking the most likely.

In order to negotiate from strength we need to be out and let the others seek a deal after we have left. At the moment we are negotiating from a position of weakness because they are clutching at straws to block our exit, feeding remoaners ammunition and false hopes. The Aussie politician hit the nail on the head.

Would have thought with trump in office now is the time to leave as prob score a better deal outside of EU.

Ill believe it when i see it that Britain leaves the eu...B Obama is heading the charge for you to stay.

Ant..

 

[arcobob]

No deal that makes any sense can be made until we have parted. Until then we will be beaten at every turn so time to p-55 or get off the pot.

Barnier's position within the EU is weakening all the time but his resolve is remaining firm. It is time to strike while there is a chance and we have some support from within..
