Thought I'd start a new thread as this is going to be a major talking point this year...have not made up my mind yet...(unlike bucksfizz)....but thinking of voting for an exit as Europe is not doing Britain any good at all it seems....

Are you asking the lemmings, like Dil, It, Marti and Georgi, if they are changing direction?

Hardly lemmings Fred. At the time, the odds were on stick-in-the-muds wanting to stay in their comfort zone. The people who voted leave made up their own minds in the face of the full propaganda machine from the government. We will not change direction. We had the vote, we voted, you didn't, end of.

No Fred, I don't expect people to change their mind. It's possible, however, that some might abstain for any one of a number of reasons.

Well Fred' that's one Muppet's view, now what about the others?

Stan,

What do you expect from the "Up and at 'em brigade"?

But, they are so sure that the public who are now more aware of the consequences of Brexit that they are too fright to hold an informed referendum.

They are soooo democratic.

Very true.

LONDON (Reuters) - Britain’s economy slowed as expected in the final three months of last year, pushing growth in 2018 to its weakest in six years, as Brexit worries hammered investment, official figures showed on Monday.

insofar as i have understood even some of the ramifications, i would certainly accept TM's deal in such a scenario

There will not be another referendum. Period. Pipes dreams of the losers. Loosers to the thick one.

That's not a lot coming from you Alf is it, and what about the "Brexit worries hammered investment"?

"Period"? that's American English and you go on about spelling and Gramma...You Muppet.

Come on Alf, answer the question -):

i answered the original question asked

businesses are more worried by the thought of an "up the drawbridge" exit, than the soft exit proposed by TM
also, neither business nor the markets like uncertainty

meanwhile, economic activity is low not just because of brexit uncertainty, but also because the eurozone economies are in a parlous state, china's economy is comparatively weak, and the harm done by the trade war with america cannot be underestimated

What for the last 6 years? you can do better then that.

Hils

Hmm bit like being asked if I want to be electrocuted by AC or DC.

I don,t like either but Mays deal edges it as I can’t do a Fred and not vote for anything. If only to stop stay.

stan - i have no need to do any more ..... if you want to research for your own benefit or curiosity, then do so

Stan,

Manuel bends with the wind.

For all is bluster he should have been nicknamed Mainwaring.

We are fast approaching 1000 hours to go and still the Brexit train rolls on despite the moans of a few.

Choo choo.

Here is an interesting short summary :

I’ve covered nine financial crises since the 1960s. Here’s what I learned

Which party has made the biggest botch-ups for their political parties and careers?

A good read that Fred but doubt the Outsiders will read it.
