I agree. And 'phew'. I would hate for Labour to get in to power whilst this debacle is going on, so I'm happy for the Tories to take the rap for Brexit, Corbyn to be turfed out as ineffectual* during this time (which he is) and then for a new new labour to take power afterwards. And thankfully they do have some terrific folk on board. *If a credible Labour party were in opposition, then the Tories would have been out on their ear a good while ago. What carnage can they cause and still remain in power?! It's incredible - every news headline for the past couple of years has been utter hell! The only thing keeping the Tories remotely in power is an ineffectual opposition. So, thank you Corbyn - we don't want Labour to take the blame for this mess
Rap? What rap? The fear mongers have you brain washed. Hang on a minute, silly me. You are one of the many fear mongers.
Labour heart lands is where most of the leave votes came from. Of course no one is expecting their europhiles masters to respect democracy. Can't wait to see the after math if brexit is cancelled and the same labour europhiles go begging for votes. Your beloved labour could be out of power for quite some time. Brexit really is a triple edged sword.
This whole brexit debacle could easily end in a change of governments. Certainly be interesting if it did with the re-nationalisation of the railways and water company's.
Hey Gringo, what a wonderfully refreshing short post and straight to the point, we now await the multitude of pages penned by certain individuals in response, just as soon as they have sharpened their colouring crayons.
I think you are more than likely right, but, if you are primarily involved in exporting goods/services then shouldn't the fall in the pound be a positive indicator in terms of selling power? Maybe the margins between inport/export are extremely tight and you could be classed as both, I dunno? You know more about it than me. Well, yeah, I suppose that is true if taken as a whole that 'in aggregate' the cons outweigh the pros, as it stands today. What about tomorrow? The next day? The next year......? Could the trade deficit slowly swing round to a surplus, given such favourable conditions.? "Or am I being obtuse, Mr Dufrense? It was a vested interests sort of quip, that's all. You seem to be rightly concerned over the personal economic impact the, EU Ref has/may deliver to you. There's nothing wrong with that in the slightest, it's possible that I might have voted differently myself when faced with such a binary decision if I thought the financial consequences, to me personally, weren't looking favorable. The vote itself was a blip, an unexpected result, and that brings with it uncertainty. It's the 'uncertainty' causing the fall of the pound rather than the result of the vote. The fall, has non the less been welcomed by some.
As you say the fall was a blip, a momentary lapse in common sense brought about by a weak leader, the rise of a right wing party and a reactionary press but this blip is supposed to affect all our lives for generations.
