The Consequences of Brexit (part 3)

Recommended Posts

We've had the argument, so I'll let Tusk-Barnier do the explaining now.

 

As they did with the exit first-trade later (which we debated) and Gibraltar already.

 

Meanwhile, as expected, the EU started playing the 2 year clock right away (we also debated that one btw).

 

May might want to ask Tsipras for pointers. And not leave it too late, if she knows what's good for her.

I don't know exactly what you do. I've always forecast some creative destruction from Brexit. Winners and losers. That's the world.

 

Tell us who the winners and losers will be,and what the creative destruction will be.

Some businesses and activities are based on the UK specifically because they wish to operate inside the EU internal market. This is bad for them.

Pretty everybody else will gain from better government through improved accountability, the return of tax revenue, and an improved economic outlook.

How is it bad for them when they are already,and will continue to relocate jobs from the UK to the EU?,it's the UK that is losing jobs,the EU will gain them.An improved economic outlook?.....................so you are basing that on what,the so called experts that you have been calling out for forecasting a poor economic outlook post Brexit?,or did you lick your finger and hold it up to the wind?

Show me your balance sheet of Tax revenue returned against what the UK government will need to spend to compensate for EU grants and subsidies UK wide,Red tape and extra beaurocrats that will need to be taken onboard to negotiate trade deals and laws,training and education of UK people to compensate for migrants such as those in the NHS that will need to be cut to deliver the promised reduction in immigration.How come Hammond is saying the opposite of what you are saying?

 

 

 

 

Philip Hammond has admitted that the Brexit vote’s blow to the economy would force the government to borrow £122bn more than hoped as he pushed back government plans to balance the books in his autumn statement.

 

In the government’s first major economic announcement since the vote in June to leave the EU, the new chancellor said the economy was faring well in the wake of the referendum result but growth would slow markedly next year on the back of weaker business spending and a squeeze on household budgets from rising living costs.

 

“Our task now is to prepare our economy to be resilient as we exit the EU and match-fit for the transition that will follow,” said Hammond, who replaced George Osborne as chancellor in the political crisis that followed the referendum.

Wow... naïve or what? If you think leaving the EU will improve accountability, tax revenue for the state or, linked, the economic outlook, than you really should take some classes in basic economics plus wake up and smell the coffee.

 

If anything is going to happen it is that companies in the UK will stay due to tax benefits, a reduced accountability and therefore a better economic outlook for them as organisations, not personally.

When is something bad going to happen macro-economically?

 

Have you seen the value of sterling recently?

No the one where the remain side lost, and are now losing the plot and talking the country down instead of trying to make the best of it.

 

 

Why should we have to "make the best of it" Surely it was going to be sweetness and light and 350million a week was going to be dumped on us from high.

 

Making the best of it sounds like there may be a lot of trouble ahead so which Brexiters were lying then?

That's temporary, and the pre-vote spike is not a good comparison point.

All the bad things are temporary, in the make believe world of the in denial brexiteer.

Because it's better than trying to make the worst of it like the remoaners are doing, if they like the EU so much and don't like the way this country is going, there are plenty of travel options open, don't let the door hit you on the arse.

This is getting ridiculous. You have no evidence of any of that and some of it makes no sense.

Whenever anyone says "make the best of it" it's usually 'cos something bad is happening eg "We were on holiday,it rained but we made the best of it" etc

 

From the Longman dictionary..

 

Make the best of..

"to accept a situation that is not very good, and do whatever you can to make it better"
