All the issues predicted are coming true because there was NO PLAN.
There was no plan because the leaders of the BREXIT campaign didn’t believe they were going to win. They thought they could lead the losing side to their political advantage. Take Boris, he was quite recently pro EU, then went quiet when a referendum was on the table, before coming out as a BREXITER with just a few months to go to the vote and jumping in as leader of the BREXIT campaign.
Not only that but his first BREXIT standpoint was that we need to vote out in order to get back in with a better deal! So he still didn’t want to leave the EU, but with that position not looking credible be then moved on to apparently become a full on anti EU BREXITER.
As for him being PM, well Gove may have knifed him in the back but let’s face it he could have still stood and would have had a good few backers. But he’s run away cos he knows he’s absolutely utterly focced it all up.
Those who voted for BREXIT have been sold a pup.
Food prices have have just had the biggest fall for a year, and are now the lowest that they have been for many years - not widely reported but you can bet that the stayers will start pointing when they go up, a bit like global warming brigade that only start shouting when in the british summer we (shock horror ) get a heat wave
Dosh-bourn told us that interest rate would go up after a brexit - now Carney has said they are likely to go DOWN.
Fazersharp, see my post 229.
Stuff like food prices are measured year on year. So on 12mnths ago food prices are down, but if the pound remains weak and as we import much of our food that will mean rising food prices.
Again a weak pound will lead to inflation. That means Mark Carney can only cut interest rates for so long. Also we no longer have a AAA credit rating, that also means we have to pay more for the massive amount of debit that we owe. I guess Mark Carney’s hope is to steady the economy, boost confidence, stimulate investment and hopefully strengthen the pound from where it is just now. But no longer is he in control, he’s reacting to events and most experts are predicting inflation and interest rises in the long term. That means pain for a lot of people. Let’s just hope Mark Carney is some sort of banking magician and we avoid such turmoil.
Meanwhile in terms of what we do to leave the EU or rather to what extent we leave the EU and how it is achieved – well nobody has a clue.
As mtread seems to be saying, it’s a case of make it up as they go along. What a way to run a country. And folks wonder why the markets are spooked?
