Freggyragh Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 The economy didn’t tank after the referendum because Article 50 wasn’t triggered until 18 months after the referendum - not the day after as promised. Once Davis agreed to the EU’s demands regarding the sequencing of negotiations (on day one), and the clock started ticking and it became clear he was going to cave in on every demand, and even more so as it became clear the Geneva negotiations were going much worse, the markets have become quite relaxed in the idea that Britain might well be prepared to throw away its political influence in Europe, but not its economic interests.

P.K.

A somewhat sobering view from that nest of communist vipers that is the BBC. This made me cringe though: "Veteran Conservative Eurosceptic Sir Bill Cash said Mr Hammond was effectively arguing for the UK to stay in the European Union in his "extraordinary" statement. He said the chancellor had ignored potential economic benefits of leaving the EU, asking: "What about the trade deals which could give us the most enormous opportunities throughout the world, if we are able to strike them?"" So Veteran Conservative Eurosceptic Sir Bill Cash is clearly unaware that Trade Secretary Liam Fox, who is on record as saying that striking these trade deals will be "the easiest in human history" - has recently seen his attempts to transfer across the WTO agreements the UK had under the EU umbrella to the new status quo flushed down the toilet by WTO members. Which basically leaves us back on the starting line.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All predictions are guesswork. Even woody's. Mark Carney (who predicted some of these problems) took immediate action after the vote by injecting billions into the economy, dropping the base rate and encouraging banks to lend billions which they did. That and the unpredicted worldwide trade boom plus the dubious benefits of the now low £ headed off some of these threats. We are presently in the unusual beneficial position of a low £ whilst also (for now) remaining in the customs union and single market. As John says, the true position will not be apparent until after we leave and will not be instant anyway and the chickens of QE and inflation caused by the low £ will come home to roost unfortunately. So woody, would you have preferred that Carney had taken no action in 2016? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
