On the up because May's leave deal was rejected by MPs... So you're correct that it's risen, but your understanding of the reasons are 100% backwards.

So what is the amorphous "market" telling us then?

Actually we don't, not all 39, merely part of it but it's getting a bit brexity here and perhaps we should leave it to something a bit more motoring related.....makes a change from a red manual 991.2 gt3 with 'high spec' being the best thing since sliced bread though

It’s actually higher than that, but the figure contains rebates- it’s a PR figure. We don’t get the rebates if we have no deal.

You would really be wasting your time, but just saw the rest now and unfortunately you did indeed... It's been the most idiotic two years, complete mess and devalued nearly everything in U.K. from property,land to services.. Loads of ordinary people jobs in risks already (or lost), students debts and etc..Investment projects on hold forever.

The people who lead these campaigns from both sides, with wrong info and delusional non-sense are real criminals.

[Dammit]

Disaster capitalists like Mogg sadly have no shame.

That business has no confidence in May's ability to lead the UK away from the UK. To that end, frustrating these efforts, even potentially delaying the leave date, is good for British business.

But I admit I haven't been following too closely. When do I get the money that bus promised?

Probably about the same time as an immediate recession following a vote to Leave?

What's our GDP growth at the moment?

Indeed. And Brexit will be very good for some people - the harder the exit the better for some people - these are people that are going to make huge amounts of money from all of this. Of course, they're not making money - nothing is being generated - it's just redistributed away from a larger group of the population. This is a feature of recent government.

Anyway, my point being that I don't think anyone reading PistonHeads on their lunch break is going to be in that enriched group.

[Dammit]

I think a lot of people in this threat will be fine, it's the "just about managing" who are going to be shafted.

Anyway, the majority of PH readers are on the UKIP/EDL end of the spectrum, by way of astonishing ignorance, so this thread isn't going to make any headway in changing anyones mind I suspect.

Sure, I agree. It's when I see people getting excited about the financial prospects I have to laugh: Very few people will turn a profit from this, and many many more are going to be devastated.

The good trick was convincing those struggling people to vote for something that's going to completely screw them over.

The EU spends a lot of money in some really crappy places in the UK; Imagine the surprise when the funding goes and isn't replaced with UK government money.

Not to mention private-pensions yet..If those investments(such as bonds or stocks) are hit, people would receive a smaller payout in the short-term or they may choose to work for longer.

If I was mid 20s today, would totally get the hell ouf of here, and head for Singapore, Qatar, Australia or even Canada for proper live/work balances and future savings. We have just manged to create another layer of "bleak" and "gloomy", sorry.

Just when you thought that this Motoring forum could sink any lower we get this.

Surely one of the defining elements of anyone’s character is not to be so entrenched in a point of view that they flatly refuse to accept that others may not share it-. Even worse, that they insult and ridicule them for having a different one. Very Thin line between that and becoming a dictator.

Where are the moderators in this place? Or is this kind of rubbish not out of bounds because there are no direct commercial interests.

Where is the spirt in this forum?


Bloody bad form PistonHeads.

Agreed. A lot of people on the left/Remainers can't argue these points logically and so resort to character assassination. Because someone believes that lower taxes and freer markets will lead to prosperity, they must be an evil, selfish capitalist.

And these are the very same people who are right now attempting to subvert British democracy. It's despicable and shameful really.

[Steve Rance]

I understand your point but for clarity, My post was not to argue for either side of this argument. I would prefer to keep my personal views private as this is a motoring forum. Although on a broader pallet. I believe it’s content is still relevant

I’m not offended by the opinions just the behaviour. Re read this thread again through fresh eyes and tell me that the behaviour on it is acceptable.

Trying to hide From it? Nope. I very much make it my business to know exactly what is going on and use my energy to devise a strategy for making the most of the situation as it develops. To try to create an advantage from an apparent disadvantage. As a company Chairman that’s my job. What I don’t do is waste any energy running around like my head is on fire petulantly blaming everyone else because I’m not getting my own way. If I wanted to change social outcomes I’d have stood For parliament.

Either way, the OP started what was a light heated thread on a forum which sadly, In my opinion is a shadow of what it once was. The content and behaviour on it is probably a testament to why so many valued contributors no longer participate. My post was aimed at trying to help the ‘forum’ regain a little integrity, but frankly I’m not sure that I really care that much. I really have got better things to do with my time.
