I'm Brexiting similar worlds.

I don't like it here and so I want to leave. However, I don't like the consequences of leaving either. I'm conflicted and can't make up my mind so I think i'll hang round a little bit longer but sulk and act really weird.

This mentality might confuse and annoy my friends but I don't care because I am more awesome than them. If I kick up a really big fuss and irritate people a lot, maybe they will let me do anything I want.

Think of the £39 billion divorce payment you'll save to SW?
Think that you can control who comes into your life after you leave?
You'll also be able to kick those out that drain you dry!
Think that you'll be in complete control of your own affairs after you leave?
So many bonuses, no drawbacks.
You'll still be able to get your China and Indian manufactured medicine, and especially the British made specialist medicine that we export to SW.
You'll be free to join any other social network without being held back by SW.
You won't have to adopt SW's currency.
You won't have to join SW's army.
You won't have to bail out SW when they run out of money.
You know what, only a fool would want to stay...

@KatyB Many bonuses and no drawbacks? This sounds too good to be true...

The main pro Brexit econonist predicts farming and manufacturing will die off because of Brexit. The other economists are much less optimistic.

@Burnley123 Who knows, eh? But we survived for hundreds of years perfectly fine without the EU. In fact, we ran 1/4 of the globe. Manufacturing has already died off BECAUSE of the EU! Remember that they paid countries to undercut wages, to remove our ability to build stuff. Companies went abroad to maximise profits.

Besides project fear has been in overdrive for so long now, that most of us don't believe a word anyone says any longer!!

@KatyB We will survive Brexit but survival is a pretty low bar. The bank of England is a political body and George Osborne is dishonest. With that, I'd definately agree.

What I don't agree with is dismissing the work of academic economists. Patrick Minford is pro Brexit and wants to turn Britain into a free market tax haven based on the service sector and the City of London. Maybe some people want that (though I woukd strongly disagree). To say Brexit has no cost though, is a step beyond and total fantasy.
