All waffle.....Will Steely be leaving these shores?

Nope, but I'm pretty sure you'll continue to slag off the hand that feeds you and advocate for one that's trying to damage it.

Even if things go really badly over Brexit it's wrong to say there is no gain whats so ever Steely.

We get the pleasure in annoying people like yourself.

2016 will always stand......It's a last stand or the start of a new dawn.......But regardless it can never be taken from my memory. It's a victory I'll enjoy for the rest of my natural.

Have a read of this article entitled "What effect has Brexit had on the UK economy?"

What is clear, however, is that two-and-a-half years after the referendum, the most dire predictions about what could have happened to financial wellbeing have failed to transpire.

Rewind to May 2016. The then chancellor, George Osborne, warned of what he said would happen over the immediate period of two years following a vote to leave the EU.

He said: "A vote to leave would represent an immediate and profound shock to our economy. That shock would push our economy into a recession and lead to an increase in unemployment of around 500,000,

"GDP would be 3.6% smaller, average real wages would be lower, inflation higher, sterling weaker, house prices would be hit and public borrowing would rise compared with a vote to remain."

He was assuming Article 50, the process by which the UK leaves, would be triggered immediately after the vote; in the event, it was nine months later. But the warning stands.

Project Fear? Well, the economy hasn't contracted, and the level of unemployment is actually the lowest on record. But that's not to say that the economy's path hasn't deviated from what had earlier been expected.

Of course, there are other issues that will have influenced our economy's path - but the anticipation of the UK leaving the EU is far from insignificant.

If you take job lost as a direct result of Brexit rather than unemployment overall then he's not too far off his prediction, the articles were posted on this thread. House prices have been pretty stagnant, the currency has been weak for the entire 2.5 years and our deficit is still as high as its ever been. Do you know if GDP is what it would be today if we hadn't voted leave? That 3.6% disadvantage could be about right

So not exactly sure the point you're making? I think George isn't too far off

If nothing else, Brexit has exposed politicians as even more appalling then even skeptics imagined.

The Tories have been trying very hard to self destruct but to see Labour politicians on one side desperate for another election and eager to ignore democracy and get a second referendum at any cost is truly sickening.
Then you have the other side who cannot publically admit that they are as keen to leave the EU as the most ardent Tory Euroskeptic.
Labour has been exposed as the fake that it always was.

When did people ever get richer by voting Labour?

Unless they were on the welfare of course. And let's not forget all those minority voters who they must suck up to while ignoring their aging traditional supporters.

I hope they never see government again in my lifetime.

Jobs lost as a result of Brexit or those job losses conveniently blamed on Brexit?

You claim that house prices have been stagnant as if that's a bad thing and sterling may be weaker but that helps exporters as it makes our prices more competitive

Even the bloody guardian thinks project fear is nonsense and the EU is rubbish:
