The sky hasn't fallen down, everything is still good and the FTSE 250 is pretty much back where it was before brexit vote.

As all of us smart brexiters said, a few weeks of uncertainty and then things will recover and go from strength to strength.

The politicians are sensibly trying to start talk things up! Don't be ridiculous we're not out of danger yet. Hnmmmm, 'smart Brexiters' right...

Good news that the PM situation is sorted, one less thing to be uncertain about.

I was going to say "this is clearly a pisstake" but the OP has been spreading her pearls of "wisdom" on this theme elsewhere.

If FTSE 250 is where it was in GBP before referendum then it's down over 10% in real terms.

British companies are not thriving, investment is down - and more companies are moving abroad - Lush for example = not such great news!

You are right the sky is not falling. We have a new PM and we will exit the EU in an organised manner so we can be an independent country in control of our our destiny.

The future is bright.

If you make things very very cheap by crashing the pound, people tend to buy them.

Things that are valued, tend not to be very very cheap.

Ftse 250 is mainly overseas companies. Take a look at the main UK stocks.

Property auction in London today was pretty much business as usual. Slightly down, but showed a certain amount of confidence.

Er ok then.
What a bright future with £150bn pumped into the banking system by the Bank of England. Hmm

Isn't it?

Lush can fuck right off for me, with their Peta-esque animal rights propaganda shite.

Smart Brexiters should also remember that Brexit hasn't happened yet. The damage you have already done to the economy is just the reaction to the prospect of Brexit.

In five years time you will not find many people who will admit to being a remainer.

Lush would quite happily see every job in my sector (farming) destroyed and they actively spread incorrect propaganda to try to damage the industry so, yes. They can fuck RIGHT off.

Oh, OP, given that you started a thread earlier today about how that MILF song is 'an impowerment to women' (your words, not mine), I'm not sure we can take anything you say seriously tbh.

All you Brexiters agreeing with her. Well done.

So Lush who make such a big deal about being a 'caring' company are happy for all their UK employees to lose their jobs?
What a horrible company.
