    Forecasts are what the world economy relies on, gambles on whatever way you want to look at it !! You think price's rising is a myth ? Yes maybe you can still get cheap marmite at teso but when something costs $10 then im afraid it now costs us ALL more £. It is that simple and basic. The price rises haven't even hit yet....this is last years stock we are consuming right now. Who are we going to trade with ? The USA have just elected the most inward looking insular president ever (Remember British jobs for british workers...Well that is what the US is going to do...so you CAN'T sell to them in theory anyway). The EU ? They are not going to budge an inch on free trade.....they would rather just print an extra 100 billion euros and manipulate the system. Going to trade with anyone who trades with the EU ? It's a big boy's playground and im afraid in the great scheme of things we just are not that big.
    I know I know im doing the UK down, a doom monger if you like. But I just can't see which country you could realistically "target" as a replacement for the EU. The EU needs reform, everybody knows it...but it is bloody stupid to try to force reform from the outside. No matter what happens now I DO think we will leave. And the grey man is just getting everybody ready for what will feel like. I notice that the top 5% haven't suffered in the slightest with this "kick up the arse" we have given to the elite. On reflection this should have been a double vote - and whoever won (Brexit in this case) would implement their "plan" since they were the one's who wanted to go in that direction.
    It may surprise some that I also think we should invoke art 50 and I think Mp's should represent their constituents views. It would be nothing short of shameful if an MP whose constituents voted overwhelmingly leave then voted remain/against art 50.

    Still don't think we will leave. Something will block it.

    A well known quote worth remembering: "The only function of economic forecasting is to make astrology look good"

    I saw him just now on the news, he is a smarmy cunt.

    It's like he just can't help himself and he is obviously getting something out of it.
