I see some people still seem to think we are in the Eurozone.

You do wonder if they've noticed what is written on the currency in their pockets.

Don4l said no-one was thick enough believe the "£350m to spend on the NHS" claim.

As well as the volunteer yesterday, we may have found some more candidates.

Some people are certainly thick enough to believe that the currency trading at the same level it was 3 years ago is a sign armageddon...

Currency drops over 10% in a day.

Nothing to see here they cry.

It was even lower around 2008-2009 after the last crash, and has been recovering ever since. Not anymore though.

You'd have to be thick not to see the causality - or be a leave voter desperate to not admit their vote has done this to the country.

Who is denying that the recent move in Sterling was Brexit related? Looks like another one of your straw man arguments.

What is being suggested is that it's not the 'Armageddon' that you keep claiming!

Keep digging.

Bear in mind no remainer (or perhaps that many brexiters) is likely to find your brexcuses convincing.

You're still to explain why the currency moving to where it was less than 3 years ago is 'armageddon' (your words, not mine)...

I just explained why.

3 years of recovery post 2008 wiped away in a fortnight.

You are now trying to hang your argument on the definition of Armageddon. Sure, Godzilla is not due anytime soon, and perhaps its extreme to use that word at this stage - but the current uncertainty, currency drop and damage to those property funds is likely to be indicators of the start of a self inflicted recession.

Is another 2008 - or worse - an Armageddon? If we lose our UK car manufacturing is that Armageddon? In my view if for example Nissan, Airbus, JaguarLR decide to invest in the EU instead of the previously planned UK investment that would register for me as Mindlessly-stupid-Brexit-Armageddon. You may have a different opinion that none of these things matter, but that is my view.

Perhaps the word is exaggerating the impact, but the full impact is shaping up to look pretty bloody stty over the next months. Lets hope we can find a way to keep those manufacturers confident in investing in the UK. This will involve not being narrow minded about immigration in single market discussions.

This has been confirmed by several posters who are seeing the impact directly at their workplace, with investments on hold and prospects looking grim.

This warrants discussion as the last thing the country needs at this delicate time is a idiot PM like Loathsome trying to perpetuate the brexit false promises and inflict further investor flight and economic chaos by trying to achieve the impossible and playing with fire to get e.g. immigration concessions from the EU.

Look at the billions and zillions wiped off FTSE blue chips. By the end of vote week the index was over 2% up on the week.

Out of interest how long would you say it will be before GBP overtakes its pre-vote position?

Care to explain why anyone should care what the remainders think? They (you) lost. That fact isn't going to change no matter how much you whinge.

GPWM.

But I'll wager a shilling on the side that the whining will continue...

It didn't say on the voting slip that people who voted remain would not be entitled to an opinion about anything ever again.

Voting leave or remain does not define you as a person or determine your worth.

No it didn't. Then again mondeoman's post didn't say anything about not being entitled to an opinion, it was about others not caring about it.

It ought not to, but look around - a few individuals who were/are on the Remain side are putting in a spectacular effort to make it so.

Lib dem leader Tim Farron made himself look a right cock at the end of the Sunday Politics. He said he hoped the electorate would vote to stay in the EU.

Come again...?!

After Andrew Neil pointed the obvious out, he blustered on about having another Referendum on which the nation would vote whether to accept whatever deal is agreed with the EU, with an option to remain.

Isabel Oakshott just sat shaking her head.
