How weird is Brexit looking?

It's actually BREXIT - not BRITIX. You have been brainwashed by too many Remainders, who have been forecasting doom and gloom all through their campaign, and everyday thereafter, despite the fact that EVERY SINGLE one of their prognostications has failed to materialise. Highest employment for 50 years, overseas investment at record levels, City of London maintains - by a large margin - its position as the world's number one financial centre, Pound on the rise. The list goes on. So now, you are saying that all the forecast downsides won't happen instantly - we made a mistake - but they will happen in the long term (ref JM Keynes "In the long term we are all dead")

Cheer up. The EU is nothing more that a huge burdensome bureaucracy: its single market/customs union is nothing more than a self-serving, self destructive cartel.

Like you, I don't live in UK but consider it my second home. But I live in a country which belongs to no economic block, no customs union, no international bureaucracy, no military alliance of note. In every sense of the word, its stands alone commercially and economically.

Yet it is wonderfully successful. It has not had a recession for 25 years: excluding financial havens, its population, per capita, are among the top three wealthiest in the world. And it has a thriving democracy. It also speaks English!

So why cannot Britain, the nation that built the worlds greatest and most benevolent Empire also rise above the morass and corruption of the EU and become a beacon of successful international trade. (and if you haven't guessed, the other country I refer to is Australia. @Soossie

hi Soossie
Agreed is a loss for everyone.

@GailCob You know I would never give you a chance to talk to me again...when someone starts a dialogue such as you have, then I consider it a monologue as you have turned to one ....

I have worked for HSBC in the Middle East for many years and as a directors ... I Know economy, I know politics and certainly skills of negotiations and discussions and I am going to ignore you because of your impoliteness towards me, just because we have different opinion on this issue.... By the way:

See?? Typo happens without us noticing it.... Just a small lesson for you.

@sogdianrock Thank you... wrong decision indeed.

My goodness me, what a sensitive snowflake. I list several facts - not beliefs - and rather than debate or counter my facts, you fall back on abuse and solipsisms. If you have -as you claim - been a director of HSBC anywhere, I can understand why HSBC has had so many problems in recent years.@Soossie @Soossie

And I rest my case...

hi GailCob
thanks for your thoughtful answer. Australia surely is The Lucky Country!

Which case is that? The one where, in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary, you appeal to the judge that you are just a nice and better person and don't want real-world facts to get in the way of your belief system? @Soossie

@GailCob not going to talk to you... remember?? I think Im going to block you instead... you are unnecessarily nasty and annoyingly rude.
