wheels36 450 Posted July 12, 2016 Report Share Posted July 12, 2016 It must be awful to live in the doom and gloom world Wheels, Parliament will not be forced to cancel a democratic vote because you and the remainer's don't like the idea that democracy won ,[ thats mob rule] the economy is not in ruins the fact is most businesses are looking forward not back and Theresa May will not give in to such undemocratic measures as you suggest so why not talk your country up instead of down? CG The real world is the one that I live in, that's why I have read "The Economist" for the last twenty years, and not the garbage that most people in this country read. We will not be leaving the "single market" because we cannot, and despite all the talk of Brexit nothing will result from this fiasco other than a seriously weakened economy. If you wish to take a step closer to the real world then try and work out how a new Prime Minister who has not won a General Election, and with a "wafer thin" majority of 16 is going to do anything. There will only be one thing on Theresa May's mind for the next six months, and that is saving the Conservative Party from disintegrating. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sinbad10 757 Posted July 12, 2016 Report Share Posted July 12, 2016 I think for the democracy of this country and the fact that the majority has voted to leave the EU this will and should happen and think what the country needs for businesses and the markets is stability and think the quick appointment of Theresa May as PM is good for this reason only. I am no Conservative voter and voted to remain in the EU and under "normal" circumstances when a new PM takes over whether it be Theresa May or when Gordon Brown took over from Tony Blair I have always said that they should call a quick election to get a mandate from the country to be PM. On this occasion I don't think it would be a good idea for the stability reason which is what the country needs at the moment. I am a strong believer in democracy and even if you don't get what you voted for that is what democracy is all about and think the only chance of a second referendum on leaving the EU ever being held is if Theresa May called an election before instigating Article 50 and she lost and the new government called one.

wheels36 450 Posted July 12, 2016 Report Share Posted July 12, 2016 The democracy that we have is one that gives us a vote for representatives, who in turn make important decisions on our behalf. The reasons for this are sound in that our elected members are above average intelligence, and also have privileged access to expert opinion. There is no place in our democratic system for advisory referendums, other than when the ruling party has a separate agenda, as in this case to destroy UKIP. The fact that Cameron chose to risk the UK economy for party reasons says much about the man, and the result of this means that there will never be another referendum in this country in the lifetime of any living person. The lesson has been learned and no Premier will ever again leave the keys to the "powder keg" in Bedlam. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

sinbad10 757 Posted October 7, 2016 Report Share Posted October 7, 2016 So what do you base your future forecasts of doom and gloom on as all the indicators are that we won't be as bad off as the "experts" have been forecasting? Footsie 250 back to pre-brexit levels Pound Euro back to pre brexit levels And now some of the big business men are saying they don't think it will affect them as much as they feared. I spoke to a senior official at BaeSystems who told me their order books are full so no change for them. Now the banks are changing their attitudes.. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3669029/Two-Britain-s-biggest-banks-say-stay-UK-following-Brexit-Bosses-HSBC-Barclays-confirm-no-plans-leave.html So please tell me how you have come to the conclusion that Britain is Bust? Do you on recent events still have the same views that the £ against the $ and Euro are back to pre brexit levels and the statement that businesses will not be affected as first feared. $ was in June around $1-45 to the £ now $1-25 and the Euro in June around 1-30ish and now 1-10 and could drop even further. Interest rates already been cut and more than likely be cut again by B of E soon and inflation on the rise. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You're only pointing out the negatives without pointing out the positives. Should have put your money in shares like I did...I'm rolling in it. That world cruise might be on the cards yet..

Terminator 916 Posted October 7, 2016 Report Share Posted October 7, 2016 Then what you squinnying about? Make hay whilst the sun shines. Prove to me what you are doom and glooming about has anything to do with Brexit and not just part of the natural order of the world. P.S. Manufacturing is at it's highest for many years as our exports are now cheaper and will lead to our negative equity with the EU to be redressed. But of course you conveniently left that out because that is positive news. Oh and by the way. .the pound was 1.11 euros in 2008 It's 1.13 today So what did you blame it on then??

What about those companies that import and are now paying more for their products/food which will cause inflation and put less money in everybodies pocket and the price of oil which is priced in dollars causing increase in price of petrol/diesel and therefore have a knock on to companies delivering products/food around the country Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sinbad10 757 Posted October 7, 2016 Report Share Posted October 7, 2016 "Industrial production fell by 0.4% between July and August, the Office for National Statistics said, partly due to a drop in oil and gas production. Manufacturing rose 0.2%, although this followed a steep fall in July". Proves you are misinformed at best once again the above statement was made today. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Oldworldtraveller 2225 Posted October 7, 2016 Report Share Posted October 7, 2016 Brexit is no different to any other major incident where people have differing views. The Remainers are always negative the Brexiteers are always positive. Somewhere in the middle is the truth. Terminator, HLM, Davybe and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Terminator 916 Posted October 7, 2016 Report Share Posted October 7, 2016 Okay then clever clogs,,how about this then.. The Brexit vote has had no major impact on the economy, the Office for National Statistics said on Wednesday. “The referendum result appears, so far, not to have had a major effect on the UK economy,” ONS chief economist Joe Grice said, whilst warning that worse could be yet to come. “It hasn't fallen at the first fence but longer-term effects remain to be seen,” he said.

Oldworldtraveller 2225 Posted December 1, 2016 Report Share Posted December 1, 2016 Which ever way anyone voted it's good to see the £Pound gaining strength against the Dollar and Euro. Also good news on the export and employment front. Unfortunately we are living in an age when people talk about democracy but don't abide by rules if their side loses. Hilary lost to Trump but now wants a re-count in 3 states. Brexit remainers lost and want a second referendum. Personally I believe we should abide by the rules, there are many countries in the world where democracy is just a dream. 2torts and HLM 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Davybe 529 Posted December 2, 2016 Report Share Posted December 2, 2016 Watched "Question time" and Alan Johnston Nailed it . He Said the 4 freedoms were thought up when the Eu was 6 strong in 1958 ? We are now 28 strong and in 2016 much has changed in that time ,lots of countries are concerned about the levels of immigration.especially countries who have taken high numbers of refugees . The EU will eventually have to change its mind regarding border control as more nations threaten referendums . Nice to see the out of touch numpties have awarded themselves and the Commission employees a3-5 % pay rise just to rub our noses in it...Davybe Oldworldtraveller 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
