My daughter went to Malta just before the referendum, several locals stated they hoped the UK voted to leave as they wanted to as well

All money technically comes from thin air. Thanks for the unnecessary free lesson (again) on a well known subject.

Answer the question

Did you know? 98.0000001% of people are morons.

I run a small AirBnb here and many of our visitors come from Europe. I have never heard one of them say that they think Brexit is a good idea. They all think it's a bizarre idea and genuinely fail to understand why anyone would deliberately hurt their economy in this way.

The same applies to our visitors from further afield, and especially those from Australia.

The only ones we get who are in favour are those British people who chunter on with the same kind of tedious arguments heard on here.

What amazes me is how some foreign born folk understand and value the British system of democracy better than many who were born and live here.

Yes and 48% LOST what dont you understand about that? LOST means LOST in a referendum that the MPs promised to honour the result.....THEY LIED!!!

I will never vote for any party ever again!!

Er

To be clear, I didn’t say the report was overblown. I said that as expected some of the claims made by the remain side when compared to this have now been proven to be overblown. If anything the report is far less impactful than a lot of remainers were making out.

I also clearly stated that these are worst case scenarios not expected scenarios. However for me that’s enough to disprove a lot of wilful blindness from the leave side, and make me want an exit with a deal even more than before. The risk vs benefit simply doesn’t add up. Unless you’re a rabid brexiteer of course.

I see a pattern here....

Trump lost. Badly. Hahahahahahaha.

TBF there are plenty of rabid remainers. Everyone loves an extremist, especially round here.

What don't you understand about Politicians having a duty to react to events if, in their judgement, they are sufficiently important to have to change a previously stated position.

The 48% who "lost" are not the only ones whose interests matter, alongside the 52% who "won". (Many on both sides not all sharing exactly the same level of commitment to the causes. It was a very simple question that was asked.) There are those who decided not to vote but even more importantly there are the millions of under 18 year olds who couldn't vote but whose lives will be more impacted than any of us. MPs have to take all of these things into consideration.

The truth is that, having made their promises, and despite many of them disagreeing with the decision, they have striven to find a way to leave that doesn't harm the UK more than is necessary. So far it hasn't been possible to find enough support for the negotiated arrangement to get Parliamentary approval. No-one lied. They just did their job. It's all very unfortunate but the whole country is split almost down the middle over this. Parliament clearly has a majority against leaving without a proper agreement in place, and some now argue that so much time has elapsed that we ought to check again what the people as a whole now think before making any steps that we might later regret. I disagree with them as I think Parliament alone should make these decisions.

Being updated in a couple of days so let's wait.
All the screamers wanted to see it and this is apparently the very worst scenario.

Let's be honest, that's not guaranteed. You could well be right, but it's just as fanciful as saying remaining in the EU will be better than leaving in the long term. No-one knows, hence why most people can only respond to what is happening/will happen now and in the immediate future. Normacly bias also applies here, so leaving is even more scary to most people. With this farce playing out daily, 'Just keep it the same' has never been so appealing to the average Joe.

That said it's interesting to see a rare admission from a brexiteer that leaving is, at least in the short term, going to have a negative effect. Some objectivity at last.
