I attended a session led by a senior Risk figure for a major UK bank this week. One of the keynote statements arising from the session was: "All this stuff in the papers about the economy showing that it's resisted post-Brexit vote pressures and is thriving is absolute, total codswallop." I won't bore readers with all the evidential reasons, because if you believe the papers rather than industry risk experts with 25+ years of experience, then you simply don't care about the facts.

UK economy grows. Brexit doesn't appear to be derailing the economy. Best judged years after Brexit has actually taken place. The market perception of its impact now is not a crystal ball.

Edited by Mr_Gristle (30 Sep 2016 11.59am) of course. The banking industry is totally scrupulous and we should blindly accept their views on everything. The scales have been lifted from my eyes. Thank you.

I would think that the impact of exit will not even begin to show up until next year. Forecasters have already downgraded growth estimates for 2017 from 2.1% to 0.6%. Lower growth by as much as 5% over the first five years is likely, in my view. In terms of such a momentous change,the short-term economic impact should be judged over a 5 year period after Article 50 is triggered, with long term impact over a period of 15 years plus. Consequently, a majority of exit voters will either be dead or sitting in a care home smelling of wee before the true impact of their decision is apparent!

Well you could speed this up and increase the dire predictions manifold and make them more certain by voting in a Corbyn government.

I'm impressed that you now set such store by organs such as the BBC, which I understood you thought to be a peddler of leftie propaganda - it's their story you're using as the illustrator, isn't it? If you are so certain of these professionals' lack of integrity, I suggest you put the house on futures that favour your viewpoint - you will clean up.

And I know a lot of Professional Ladies who repeatedly promised me a good time but failed to deliver. I can tell that you are as gullible as me. Where were your "Risk Professionals" when the Banks they were working for filled their boots with Junk Bonds, 125% Mortgages, money chucking loans, and piece de resistance AMERICAN sub prime mortgages to illustrate their stupidity in Importing bad debt. Oh I know, they were all on a career break at the same time.

May met Murdoch last week. So at least now she knows what her policies are meant to be.

Just a heads up in case some haven't cottoned on: Matthew is nothing more than a troll - trolling the left - and as much as I had given him the benefit of the doubt for two years, and against my better judgement, he left me with no doubt during a little convo we had recently. Give it a rest Bertie and deal with being found out.

Quite possibly one of the poorest rebuttals in HOL history.

Just a heads up to maintain equilibrium. Kermit is every bit as much of a troll to the right. But if we are going down that road it leaves most of us on here facing troll accusations for posting opinions that we fervently believe in. Matt is not a troll.

A change of subject. What a surprise. Give it a rest. You have been found out. You should cease your projection and focus on your inner turmoil.
