Successive governments since the early 80's. It's weird, it's like the people in power value money, ego and big business rather than human beings. Call me old fashioned but a governments prime objective is the well being of the population as a basic start point. A happy population is a successful population. Well if the majority tell them to F-off I can only conclude they **** it up in the last 30-35 years, otherwise the Remain would have won by 90% instead of losing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So maybe he had a point. I tell you what, that pony is taking us all for a ride! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brommy Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 I think we need to expect a rocky economic road for the next few years. I've as much clue as an economic advisor in 2006 who couldn't see a World crash less than 18 months away (no wonder they were doubted this time!), whether we'll be better or worse off economically in the long term but I'm optimistic we can get through this.

StefanAVFC Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 To be honest, these crashes we've had are just the result of saying we're leaving the EU. I can't imagine the economic crash we'll have once we invoke article 50. Maybe parity with the dollar? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mykeyb Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 As some one who was 18 in 1980 and how screwed the job market was back then Id just like to thank on behalf of my son and all his friends who have just sat their GCSEs all those who voted to leave for putting them back in the shitehole that I endured all those years ago. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of them were thinking the job could be completed without financial market issues and without short and possibly medium term economic downturn. I'm not surprised the pound is down at the moment. I am surprised the stock markets aren't a lot lower at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meanwhile the economy crashes around us, jobs aren't created as employers don't create jobs in times of uncertainty and the leading 'Leave' politicians have scarpered. Also, the EU is affected as they have sit on their hands waiting for us to make a decision. Worth it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
