With all the newspapers and economic reports screaming there is no/ only positive impact of brexit so far, do you think the Remainers were all wrong and needlessly projecting doomsday scenarios ?

Also good for any company that trades in other currencies but reports in pounds.

The inflation effect of this hasn't been felt yet. Wait till winter hits and energy bills are up and tell me how good it is, and your shopping is more expensive.

I am sure that Leavers will hold you to be personally responsible smallfox. Wink. Instead of those tossers Gove, Johnson, Fox, Davis, Rees - Mogg, Redwood etc..

NameChanger22 · 22/09/2016 22:15

The leavers will most likely blame the immigrants or some other vulnerable group.

smallfox2002 · 22/09/2016 22:19

They can hold me responsible, its fine, I'll continue to laugh at them.

HoneywithLemon · 22/09/2016 22:43

Only a fool would make any predictions. However as a staunch remainer, I would say it is far too early to say what the impact will be. Ask again in five years time.

Totally sensible and humble approach towards the future.

In the mean time we continue to serve the customers diligently while the trade and political deals are negotiated despite the 'predictions'.

smallfox2002 · 22/09/2016 23:07

There are joined trade deals being negotiated. No one will do it till end actually agree terms with the EU.

smallfox2002 · 22/09/2016 23:10

This is just the limbo land, a period of calm before more coming turmoil.

Marmitelover55 · 23/09/2016 00:35

How do I train to become a trade deal negotiator? I might become unemployed as a result of the referendum, so maybe this could be a way forward? Serious question.

This Project Fear?

Seems pretty wrong (and wrong-headed) to me...

Project Fear were wrong all along?
crossroads3 · 24/09/2016 07:55

the leavers are waiting for it all to happen - some impatient but they're all happy

What do leavers think will happen?

Peregrina · 24/09/2016 22:52

Don't rush to tell us all at once what you think will happen.

merrymouse · 25/09/2016 02:27

Increased globalisation? Less glovalisation? More 'sovereignty'?

Kaija · 25/09/2016 08:06

All of those. And a boat. And blue passports.

winkywinkola · 25/09/2016 09:22

Now now.

It's abusive and unpatriotic to harangue people for proper information.

Peregrina · 25/09/2016 09:34

What do we want? BREXIT.
When do we want it? NOW.
What is Brexit? Er, um, er........

TheForeignOffice · 25/09/2016 09:47

Gah you're a big bunch of meanies Wink

So long as the OP is enjoying the (and I quote from p1) "...no/ only positive impact of brexit so far..."

...then that's great. Who the hell cares what Brexit is and the fact it hasn't even happened. Let's all just enjoy our grotesquely devalued unicorns whilst we still can Grin

surferjet · 25/09/2016 15:59

No I don't care what Brexit is, I'm just happy we're not part of the EU anymore.

That's enough for me Smile

smallfox2002 · 25/09/2016 16:28

Then you display your ignorance even further. Its terrifying.

Oh and we are still part of the EU.

Kaija · 25/09/2016 16:37

No I don't care what Brexit is

Thank god for that. Have a blue passport and a pound of apples, and we'll carry on as we were.

Peregrina · 25/09/2016 16:38

I am glad to see you surface again surferjet. Given that we still are part of the EU, have you had any thoughts yet about what sort of exit you would like?

If your job were to disappear as a result, will you be happy, "C'est la vie"?

Bearbehind · 25/09/2016 16:52

surferjet, you continue to embarrass yourself on these threads by just being 'happy' despite having absolutely no concept of what is to come and being completely unable to put your 'happiness' into words, other than getting shot of the foreigners, which is pretty disgraceful if you can't support why they are an issue to you.

It worries me enormously that people like surjer, winchester and the OP are very likely quite representative if the Leave voting population.

They pop up every so often, make some ridiculous statement that they can't begin to back up, the potter off back to their fluffy cloud.

It's no wonder no one has a clue what Brexit will end up being- even the majority of those that voted for it neither know nor care it seems.

RedToothBrush · 25/09/2016 16:54

When the government or the cabinet can manage to make a comment without it being denied or contradicted or just totally incompatible with something else they have already said, I might start taking them seriously.

Until then we are in limbo land with the Japanese have a better idea and understanding of Brexit than the people allegedly in charge.

Frankly if you are following what Brexit means - or doesn't mean - properly and trying to gauge whether Project Fear were right or wrong, then you should be aware of where we are in the process (in case you don't know, the government themselves haven't got a clue) and this in turn means the markets won't react further until there is something firmer or this start to look like it become a lot more prolonged and to be fought over (in which case over seas investors and UK businesses will have no choice but to start making firmer long term decisions which include the UK really not being a trading partner with the EU in any way). Clues to this, should start appearing next month as legal challenges to a50 start hitting the courts in their full force.

Anyone suggesting that Project Fear was incorrect, really doesn't understand whats going on. This is not a Remain or a Leave point of view - this is a point of view about understanding the post-referendum questions that are still ongoing and still becoming clearer (or in some cases becoming less clear).

We simply are not at a stage where we can make that assessment either way. We are still too in the middle of the situation to understand the implications.
