Fulltimer, i'm sure you nailed it precisely. From what I've heard from several sources I trust, if the vote was taken again to day, it would be about 65% NO. Edited by Brewster, Aug 19 2016, 09:36 AM.

Facts are what is required, not speculation. Where is the world wide depression? |

I wasn't aware that Brexit was in effect yet. I gave you facts. Only you and Investor's have indulged in speculation, about something that is years away at least, and quite likely will never happen at all Call me when it happens, and we'll talk about how it turned out... |

"One of the great fears was that not only would Brexit be bad for the economy after the vote, but would materially weaken it even before the vote was held by undermining investor and consumer confidence. Didn't happen. The online Express, citing new government data, reports that unemployment plunged 52,000 between April and June, leaving the unemployment rate at 4.9% -- the lowest level since 2005. The total employment rate now stands at 74.5% of the population -- the highest ever. Meanwhile, the number of unemployment claims dropped 8,600 in July -- the month after the Brexit vote -- to 768,600, the first decline since February. Oh yes, and workers' average earnings jumped 2.4% in the first six months of the year, showing that if businesses were worried about Brexit, it sure wasn't showing in how much they were paying workers." You said the effect would be immediate. Well the effect has been positive. |

Bullship. You cherry picked one stat, I give you the whole picture. The economy is already suffering, but we won't know the total effect until a couple of years after it's in full effect. You just can't ever admit you're wrong, can you? Edited by Brewster, Aug 19 2016, 10:12 AM.
