The Consequences of Brexit [part 4]


Recommended Posts

The Bank of England upgraded GDP growth forecast for 2018 to 1.8 % from 1.6%.

A rising tide lifts all boats.

The BOE’s outlook meshes with signs that synchronized global growth will lead to the end of the loose monetary policies pursued by central banks since the financial crisis a decade ago. Concerns that investors might have underpriced the likelihood of higher borrowing costs to keep inflation under control helped spark a global stock selloff in recent days.

You're complaining about Soros, a foreign national, funding an attempt to get a new referendum. There is no doubt that Mercer, who's also a foreign national, provided aid to the leave campaigns in the actual referendum - not just a campaign for a new one. Given the referendum was in 2016 and the Soros backed campaign is now the fact that my links are older than yours is both unsurprising and immaterial. The Electoral Commission is still investigating but it's investigating whether the law on declaring donations/aid was broken - not whether it occurred.

 

And elements of the right wing media agitated for Brexit, especially elements owned by Rupert Murdoch - a foreign national. Unlimited free propaganda there.

 

The Legatum Institute which has leading pro-Brexit politicians in its pocket is funded by a New Zealander who lives in Dubai.

 

What’s good for the goose.....

Ah yes the Mail..bastion of the working class ?

 

The only people I ever see buy it are angry looking old duffers, and gammon-faced 50 year olds.

The Foreign Office of Japan has published a report on Brexit. The summary alone provides 15 pages of damning indictment and disbelieve of the poor handling of the situation by the UK government. This sort of direct and stern warning is highly unusual in diplomacy, but the Japanese government is fed up with the situation as becomes very clear to those who actually read the notification.

 

Essence -

* Japan has invested billions in the UK on the understanding that the UK provided the most optimal gateway into the EU. That investment is being put at severe risk due to BREXIT.

* Japanese firms need further liberalisation of the immigration policies, not tightening of them.

* Japanese financial institutes based in London will seek alternative incorporation locations within the EU when single passporting is lost.

 

There are several other, significant points. This isn't about future trade deals, this is about the existing deal being scuppered by the UK and the consequences of that on future investment and indeed withdrawal of investment is likely.

Do people still genuinely think we will leave the EU?

 

More chance of one legged dog buying its sh*t in a frozen pond.

 

IMO of course.

 

The Establishment and the capitalist global elite don't want the UK to leave.

 

The people want to leave.

 

So we won't be leaving.
