The forecasts are still out there, for anybody to check what they

I wonder if this is the same lot that said we should have joined the
Euro
when it was first introduced....

Some will be. Some will not. Despite the enduring myth, it was the
politicians who agreed about the Euro, not the economists. They were
divided. This time around, the only division is about just how bad
things will get.



I think people who would rather seen the country destroyed than be
wrong, are very sick sad people


It is leaving that will destroy the country.

No, it is the people who support remaining that are trying to destroy
the country....

There is no need to *try* to destroy the country. The vote to leave is
already set to achieve that.

NOT ONE of your economists is actually stupid enough to say anything like
that.

I understand why. They are scared of any real democracy, and their jobs
depend on the EU. And they d9nt know how to exist withiout it.

The point of remaining is to be part of a greater whole, not a
reactionary, isolationist backwater.

Even more flagrantly dishonest than you usually manage.

But they shouldn't try to talk Britain down.

Britain will carry on much as it has so far,

Which is nothing even remotely like destroyed given that
it just happens to have one of the lowest unemployment
rates of the majors in europe and is doing so well that
hordes of EU citizens keep showing up in Britain because
it is doing much better than where they are coming from.

which is the main problem.

Some problem.

It needs to transform itself into a modern, productive, progressive nation
to succeed outside the EU.

Even sillier than you usually manage.

That is something that really is not particularly probable.

How odd that it just happens to have one of the lowest
unemployment rates of the majors in europe and is doing so
well that hordes of EU citizens keep showing up in Britain
because it is doing much better than where they are coming from.

You can't even claim that it is being propped up
by the EU either given that it is a massive net
contributor to the EU to the tune of billions a year.

AND the bulk of British trade isnt with the EU either.

AND even if the pound does sag by say 10%
permanently, all that means is that British
exports to the EU will still end up at about the
same price to consumers in the EU after say an
8% duty is paid on them to get into the EU.

They should move to an EU country

That would require free movement to stay in place.

Nope, you are free to move now before Britain leaves the EU.

And even you should have noticed that the EU is happy to
have non EU business move to the EU any time they like too.
