Brexit - Merged Threads

[12gauge82]

From hear for a start

 

 

Paris opens doors to City of London businesses looking to relocate after Brexit vote . Slowly slowly catchee monkey.

[oowee]

Pointing out the inevitable.

Still optimistic despite early losses from trying to predict the market, but now having reversed these early this week its not so bad so far. Every cloud has an opportunity to make a margin

[poontang]

Are they actually dumb enough to think marching will change anything ? Petulance, denial and inability to grasp how voting works. Jarvis Cocker reportedly said " you can't change the map, we are part of Europe". Err, no we aren't. Its called the channel. We are an Island.

 

 

 

We are indeed a part of Europe, always have been and always will be.

 

We didn't vote to leave Europe, we voted to leave the EU. It's a shame so many people don't understand the difference.

To all those who took part in the anti democracy "remain" march in London yesterday.....if you don't want to live in a democracy and accept democratic decisions.......why don't you find a nice non democratic country and go live there?.........Can I suggest they try North Korea??........no??.........I thought not!

Farage is not in power, nor does he have any say on how we exit, I can't see how he could be held responsible after brexit good or bad at present

Correct he is not in power.but with talk of another general election possible he may have stood for and won a seat and as an mp would have had influence. We are now looking at a remain campaigner negotiating our exit terms.all I can see is get ready for some real problems in the future.he will definitely not have any influence standing on the outside with Boris.

He's still in the eu parliament so he'll keep his hand in, the man should be knighted

Here we are, potentially up to our Brexit necks in it already?

 

IMO, One thing our politicians never fail to disappoint in is not having a clue in how to react in a responsibility in a crisis?

 

Just look at the forerunners and also ran's?

Terrified!

 

We certainly need a viable effective opposition too?

[JDog]

What in particular are you unhappy with?

Have a cup of tea.

A cuppa sorts everything

The Brexit vote has just brought into focus how rubbish our politicians really are. In years to come hopefully we will say it did us a favour.

[four-wheel-drive]

As was said at the start the government was so shore that they was going to win the in vote that they never even bothered to make plans for if they lost the vote so much for the people that we trust to run the country.

[Gordon R]

The result was a victory for democracy - a concept some find difficult to digest.

 

When we leave the EU, I do wonder what will happen to Labour. An effective opposition - they are not. They are in danger of oblivion. Another leadership vote to keep Corbyn, will finish them in my opinion.

[ElvisThePelvis]

Anyone, whether politician, economist, media expert or even Human being that tries to measure the relative effect of potential Brexit within the next three years is reviewing far too small a sample.

[Davyo]

Aw for gods sake Pigeon watch is going to be renamed Political watch.Yawn yawn yawn.

If I understand it properly, for the princely sum of three quid each we can all vote to keep Corbyn as party leader and therefore ensure Labour are unelectable for the foreseeable future. Sounds like value for money to me.👍

I was just watching #Brexit Aftermath #2 - Anti-Democracy Activists by Sargon of Akkad on Youtube. Well worth a watch just for the conversations with those protesting in London over the result of the referendum. Interesting to note that many of those protesting were not even British citizens. More interesting amusing were the attempted answers to the question "What are the best 3 things about the EU?".

 

At the end of the video he references a couple of articles written since the referendum about democracy, I won`t comment about them myself I`ll just post links. I would have posted the video itself but there`s quite a bit of swearing in it. So, rather than risk the wrath of the moderators I`ve just posted the title.

Trading in property funds suspended.

[KFC]

Taken from the article. Property has always been boom and bust.

Are we seeing a repeat of 2008?

Probably not, no. Superficially this looks like a similar situation, with investors clamouring to get their money out of funds, after warnings that the commercial property market may have overheated and the economy is about to take a turn for the worse.

But, although it will take months to gauge the fallout from Britain's decision to leave the EU, initially this is being described as a blip rather than a long term setback for commercial property.

Adrian Lowcock, head of investing at Axa Wealth says: 'During the financial crisis many investors were stuck in funds which had closed to redemptions as liquidity dried up.

'However, whilst there is a short term issue with the asset class, I do not think this will lead to long term closure of property funds as it is driven by asset allocation decisions not by investors needing access to money.'

Brian Dennehy,managing director at Fundexpert.co.uk also predicts that the problems will be temporary.

'It is not like 2007/8 when some funds also suspended dealing. Back then property prices had been inflated by too much debt and speculation.

'Those two features are largely absent now...We are seeing no selling by clients and believe most of the selling which has occurred is by institutional sellers and similar who are a bit panicky - this will pass.'

Stocks slide, bonds surge as Brexit fears resurface

Bank of England's Brexit fallout plan working, insists governor Mark Carney

[norfolk dumpling]

B of E has buffer fund of £250bn and British businesses sitting on £900bn uninvested funds. You can see why certain countries didn't want to lose our contributions. So so sad our politicians have been behaving like spoilt children at this difficult time.
