Quote:Yes but the point being made is that we were told all of that would happen straight away in June.
My recollection is that the vast majority of experts stated what they expected to happen if the UK left the EU.
The BREXITERS seemed to peddle the myth that the day after the vote the UK would be out of the EU.
We might want to consider why this referendum was held. It was offered by David Cameron in order to unite his party so that they could win the general election. Firstly nobody expected the Tories to win a majority but they did. Secondly DC didn’t think the referendum would be a problem, whereas in fact it ended his premiership and his political career.
But be clear it was never offered by DC for the good of the UK, he offered it in order to further his own political career.
Boris Johnston changed his mind on the EU earlier this year in order to further his own political career.
Teresa May sided with Remain, except that she didn’t do any campaigning. Now it turns out she is the most enthusiastic Brexiter of them all!
So put your faith in the Tory party and Brexit if you want.
As for house prices, well we have over inflated house prices in the UK because we don’t have enough housing stock, and of course we sold all the council housing stock.
But yes mtread is right, the pound has fallen sharply, it does not appear to be recovering, that means inflation. It means less money in your pocket. That in turn alone will mean a weaker economy. So, so far, the predictions of the experts are on track.
In the longer term if we are outside of the EU single market – that is the biggest single open market in the world. Well what is going to be the priority for global firms, the EU or the UK. It’s clearly going to the EU.
