This is so true. Looking back I've posted some stuff better suited to the playground, but I'm sure I'm not alone or the worst! Maybe it should be renamed the bickering thread? I wasn't singling out a specific person or trying to take any moral high ground. Just seems like a lot of hyperbole and conjecture about a pretty uncertain subject. I mean, the one thing I think we do know for sure is that we don't know for sure what the future holds. But it hasn't stopped some decent people, usually allied by their love of the same football team, falling out with each other on a primarily football based forum.

IMF states that Britain will be the fastest growing major economy this year: Terrific news...if this were post-Brexit and the year 2021 or 2022. But it isn't: " The Washington-based IMF said Britain would comfortably avoid recession with growth of 1.8% in 2016, but it stuck to its view that the economy would eventually suffer from the shock EU referendum result and said expansion next year would be just 1.1% – lower than it expected in the immediate aftermath of the Brexit vote." " The WEO has also cautioned that economic data since the referendum had been limited and said the fall in sterling would prompt inflation to rise from 0.7% this year to 2.5% in 2017. “In the United Kingdom, slower growth is expected since the referendum as uncertainty in the aftermath of the Brexit vote weighs on firms’ investment and hiring decisions and consumers’ purchases of durable goods and housing. Growth is forecast at 1.8% in 2016 and 1.1% in 2017, based on the assumptions of smooth post-Brexit negotiations and a limited increase in economic barriers.” The IMF also cut its medium-term growth forecast for the UK from 2.1% to 1.9% as a result of what it assumes will be barriers to trade, migration and capital flows."

Of course the left will blame any negativities and blips in the economy on Brexit. They will also continue to predict dire consequences in the face of any evidence to the opposite. It is merely a continuation of them blaming all of the world's problems on the USA, Israel, the UK and most western democracies, and of course capitalism. Their fixed world view is a similar mindset to the likes of the Jehovahs Witnesses.

Those who voted Remain and are not left will still have to come up with reasons for any 'blips'.

Larry Elliott - Economics Editor Guardian We were told by Remain that immediately after a 'Leave' vote, Britain would suffer capital flight, the exodus of business and be plunged into a crippling recession. Nothing much has changed. We are being told by remainers that as soon as Brexit is completed, we will suffer capital flight, the exodus of business and be plunged into a crippling recession. What's the bets nothing much changes with our economy then?

'assumptions of smooth post-Brexit negotiations' what a thing to base a forecast on! Still it is the IMF.

Oh look.... "A leading light in the Brexit campaign said they now expected the UK could still end up paying as much as £5bn a year into EU funds, in return for access to the single market. BBC Sorry NHS
