Manximus Aururaneus Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 1 hour ago, P.K. said: Like the rest of the brexiteers on here you must think the UK will do better outside of the EU than being on the inside where it had also influence for change. What do you base that belief on? Preferably £facts and not airy fairy political bullspeak please. How about the 'fact' that the election was last week, not next week. The decision has been made. You have squandered over 3 years calling people 'stupid' rather than making the case for the EU. You chose to take that route to make your side of the debate not me, I have nothing to add to what has already been endlessly debated. Even the likes of Michael Heseltine and Tony Blair have now thrown in the towel and are urging people to move on. We have had investment decisions on hold since the time that I feared Ed Milliband may get in - that four year delay has been of immense frustration to us as a family business, I'm moving on now, I do not have the luxury of further navel-gazing time. You must make your own choices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You shouldn't trust anyone who says they can predict anything 15 years into the future. They simply cannot. Their guess is as good as mine is as good as yours.

Freggyragh Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 I think you’re going to have to wait a lot longer than four years for the final outcome though, and you’re not going to like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And of course gdp is a minor issue in the whole geopolitical situation anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
