Priceless!

But you do have time to make pathetic little claims (that you can't justify) and then have cheek to pretend that I'm being the keyboard warrior!

Marvelous new from The Express. And even better news from them today:

EH? I've seriously honestly had to cut my house price by 10%, post June 23rd.

Why didn't it sell pre 23rd June?

Ah, Mr douche bag no.2. Good evening. Still heroic behind your computer screen?

I quit coming into these threads due to the petty name calling and stupidity. Glad to see you're keeping the tone up

IME around here sidicks tends not to sugar coat stuff. But if you can get over the emotion you usually find he's on the right track.

The old idiom "everything sells at the right price" is hard to fault.

Thanks - I try not to post aggressively except in response to other aggressive posts. That seems reasonable.

Agree with the general sentiments - but Project Fear-Mongers jumping on headlines using words like 'dramatic deterioration’ is sort of the same thing! If this short-term downturn is expected as you say - then the headlines would reflect such an expectation - and not make the Remainers wet their pants with excitement because they want to hump the EU and demand a second referendum.

You don't agree with the general sentiment at all, we will suffer a decline and then who knows what, it's a macro problem. Don't know why you think I suggested a short -term downturn, I didn't, but it's clearly what you (and all of us) hope for, but it's now gone beyond the point of blaming Remainers, so let it drop and move on if you can. Otherwise it smacks of panic on your part and by definition those of your ilk, which helps no-one.

I've yet to witness the post exit euphoria many leavers expected, which may explain your posture and while I could be wrong (often am), I have a sneaky feeling that many of those people who carried the vote are oblivious to the result.

and I have yet to see WWIII, the collapse of the UK... indeed many of the things we were 'warned' about. Indeed IIRC the BoE has been forced to retract some of their pre-Ref statements. Talk at work today was about being rather pissed off that the country is being constantly talked down by beeb and certain sections of the meeja when there is no need

Reporting business sentiment is not the same as talking the country down.

We are in danger of being talked into a recession.

I can easily see a slow down in the economy due to uncertainties of Brexit

The doom headlines may become a self fulfilling prophecy

No talk needed, I work in the one thing people turn to in a recession and we've had a 30% slowdown.

Do tell, is it booze? And you say it has declined?

You need to try harder.

Any evidence for that or is this just another unsubstantiated claim?

Your posts are often aggressive,arrogant and pompous. I'm not sure how I can prove it really, just something I've noticed, I'm not into fishing around and quoting you from other threads, that's a bit creepy. Do you find you're constantly arguing with and upsetting people?

Not just your workplace.

The approach of talk-down beeb and their paper chums is basically trying to achieve this in anyone gullible enough:



[Mod note : Don't avoid the swear filter]


They were on the losing side of the debate (again, a habit perhaps after May 2015) the end of western political civilisation hasn't arrived before WW3, and they're mischievously/dangerously/disloyally agitating for negativity.

What the beeb needs now is a hat-trick with Trump as potus.

As I said, If people make an aggressive post that they'll get an aggressive response,

Nothing we've seen thusfar has ANYTHING to do with us actually leaving the EU - what we're seeing is markets reacting to something they abhor - uncertainty.

Sure, some people thrive and profit from that but our economy is being damaged by the simple fact that no-one knows WTF is going on.

It seems the Govt is making noises about 'BREXIT' but I suspect that behind-the-scenes they're talking to all the people who provide their 'advice' (funding/kickbacks/straight-out bribes) to see what they want - they will then deliver that packaged in ribbon marked 'BREXIT'.

Until that's done our economy will remain 'uncertain', the pound will remain weak and that's going to hit people harder and harder until there is some timetable, some list of actions, some likely outcomes to look towards.

No-one should be under any illusions, the UK voted (extremely narrowly) to do something no-one has done before, to go into completely uncharted territory for which we have NO PLAN and that makes us weak, vulnerable and a target for exploitation. It puts a lot of people at risk in financial terms - from high-end investors down to people just trying to make a living.

Whether it ruins us or makes us great as history unfolds, it's going to be a painful process and not which is going hurt many of the 52% who voted for it as well as the 48% who didn't.

Be as bullish as you like about final outcomes - anyone who's less than concerned about what happens before that happens is a grade one idiot.

Excellent post

What worries me is an attitude that's there with a number of Remainers. I have a good friend who, despite working in banking (well IT bit, at any rate, but at least he knows not all bankers are evil and that financial services are important to the UK) is fairly left win and was fiercely opposed to Brexit.

Now that - leftism an Brexit opposition - are fine and I can understand that, but there's an almost petulant undercurrent of determination to prove Brexit is a disaster. It really is a perfect example of cutting of your nose to spite your face. It is worrying, because this attitude will be a dead weight to any progress and won't help Remainers get the best from the developing situation if they refuse to have any input.
