Am I unreasonable to be pissed off the Remain campaign lied/exaggerated

[John1967]

I have been following the brexit in the news and I voted remain, because I was worried my job in an multinational would be lost.

Since then the company has NO intention of moving despite bosses telling us to vote remain. I was told by remain campaigners and by pro eu people the uk would be in recession and that hundreds of thousands of jobs would be lost etc etc.

None of this is true at all now a few months has passed we haven't heard of really much impact. The ftse is up, employment is up and today construction is better then expected. House prices have dipped a little bit 2-3% but are expecting to rise again after Xmas.

The govt should be investigating both sides for being deceitful but especially remain. Yes the stock markets crashed the days after but apart from that nothing has changed and consumer confidence is at an all time high.

I would have voted leave if I'd of known and so would have many people I know who were feared into voting remain.

Take back control of what?

Cough

I'm sorry but you don't seem to be grasping the concept of 'the future' - Brexit hasn't happened yet - it WILL happen - and then you will need to come back to this thread and have an actual debate about who lied about what

Until then it's difficult to argue about something that has yet to occur

I'm just holding my breath waiting to find out who/what the Leave lot will blame all their perceived ills on once we are out of Europe and that particular fantasy bogeyman can no longer be blamed.

I wouldn't have vote as a result of being "told by the bosses to vote remain"

I'd have made my own informed and educated decision. Too many gave up too much to fuck about with my vote.

I'm not sure people have quite taken in just how expensive this is going to be. How many solicitors and civil servants is it going to take to extricate us? Even if Brexiters are right and leaving does improve our economy its going to have to improve a lot to cover the costs.

If you haven't been aware of much impact you must have been living in a box.

Yes op,totally agree with you,the same happened to me,

We haven't left yet. Come back in 5 years.

DP lost his job this month due to the vote. HTH.

Gee I can't wait until we have the sovereignty to make it legal for everyone to work 75 hours a week. Gosh won't that be a wonderful world. woohoohoo.

Yes YABU. We haven't left yet!
Leave won so you're not affected by the sound of it... yet
As for both sides scaremongering or exaggerating, by far the worst was Farage's breaking point billboard. Racist attacks have gone up since Brexit, just recently someone who saw my Corbyn badge quite openly said he'd vote for the NF. Not sure he would have been so open about it until recently, it seems now people think racism is almost acceptable. These are bad, bad times.

Pat Sorry to hear that. Brainless threads like this don't help.

Thanks sooty
It's fucked us if I'm honest

We
Are
Still
In
The
EU

once we've left then we will know the real effects.

PatMullins do you mind me asking what happened? I too am reading many reports of how things are fine and dandy but despite what John mistakenly believes about the pound headed back up (good luck with getting much more than a euros worth at the fx desk at Heathrow there) I'm interested to hear anecdotal evidence.

John if you are genuinely interested in effects of Brexit why are you not more worried about our total lack of a plan?

Honestly, nothing has happened yet. As in, we haven't even left! Anything that would have happened at this stage would be down to sentiment anyway rather than cold hard facts.

Why not reserve your indignation until a few years after we've left (the time period most of the remain predictions were based upon) and make a decision then?

No, the government isn't particularly investigating the remain side.

"Sovereignty"

The company had a projection ( work on the continent included) and when the vote happened the work stopped getting booked; they couldn't afford to pay him any longer. It's construction of that helps.

We haven't left yet, haven't even begun the negotiations - plenty of time for things to go pear shaped. I also work for a multi national, and I don't expect any change in the short term ( even after leaving). But I think in the longer term ( and our CEO has said this publicly), that my job will disappear. I work in R+ D and we are very reliant a) on EU funding and b) on EU scientists coming to work here. If either or both become difficult to source the company will simply shift the work abroad - they already have research labs in Europe so it would not be that difficult for them to relocate.
My husband on the other hand works for a tiny specialist engineering company (owner, 3 office staff and 3 on the road). Most of their work is with German companies, and they expect life to become difficult or impossible when the Brexit actually happens.

I think they were spooked.

This thread is such a transparent and disingenuous attempt by a Leave voter to run Remainers' noses in it. Unfortunately for the OP, as Theresa May hasn't even triggered Article 50 yet, this gambit is ridiculously premature. But I do hope the OP feels good about defying his/her "bosses" at a "multinational". Let's see what happens once those multinationals lose their EU passports.

So sorry Pat.

I really can't wait to get my sovereignty back wtf? Once we leave the Eu we will understand we never lost it. This was media propaganda. The leave voters just gave our sovereignty away. Or rather the politicians will give it away to hold onto the single market once Article 50 is triggered.
