Is it armageddon or what? All the news is contradictory. I understand the economy is doing ok but may fuck up soon?
Can someone explain where we at with Brexit?
Things are fucking up a bit and it hasnât happened yet so things are about to fuck up a whole lot more. Thatâs my understanding of it anyway.
Basically they are waiting till November 8th and the American general election. Donald Trump has proclaimed himself âMr Brexitâ so theyâre waiting to see if he wins and then they get Double Brexit.
I was wondering if weâd see another crash of the pound this morning or similar. Mayâs going for a âhard Brexitâ it seems, complete isolationism and I wonder how many corporations will now be seeking to confirm a move of their main business into Europe. I canât see why any of them would choose to stay working out of the UK unless the next move is to simply drop corporation tax to almost nothing and become like the Bahamas.
At the moment, whilst no one is talking about it the economy starts tracking upwards, then someone in government actually mentions what happens next, everyone remembers the situation weâre in and we go off a cliff again.
Was reading stuff about whether itâs a Parliamentary or Crown prerogative to invoke withdrawal from a treaty, and how a currently unknown number of secondary legislation might cease to have legal effect and stuff this morning.
Then I remembered that Iâm a pretend lawyer at best and donât know the first fucking thing about constitutional law and went back to reading about card games and felt better for it.
Really looking forward to all this sovereignty, though.
Should mean the queen can get a bit more fucking respect when she goes on holiday. Thatâs the main thing.
Your pound is even less worth abroad than it was last week. Down 13% since the referendum.
But everyone hates the foreigns so no need to go on holiday to another country ever again.
Itâs a real issue, to be honest.
There should be another referendum to determine how people want this to happen. (I would ask it also include a vote of âdonât bother, letâs stayâ.) But without a referendum on that, if this goes to a vote in parliament, I wonder if weâll then get wrangling about the form of the exit.
Apparently the pound is dropping cos of talk of hard Brexit.
I hate the word Brexit.
I feel like I donât have a country anymore.
Ruppert was right again - the global system will temporarily recover from recession before totally collapsing in different ways in different places. I reckon heâs been vindicated over the last two years.
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world.
Condolences! The bums lost! My advice is to do what your parents did: get a job, sir!
