For the life of me, I can't envisage any positive economic effect whatsoever. Willing to be persuaded though, perhaps our Brexiteers will assuage that concern. Just leave out the 'Global Britain' lolbloks, have heard it all before. |

Assuming the hard Brexit mantra becomes reality how do you see the UK economy maintaining its 'robustness' ? Serious question. |

Carney cut interest rates in an effort to boost the economy following the fall in confidence post brexit vote. The EU has no say in UK interest rate policy , never has done. Do you know anything about the financial markets. |

There's s lot more going on than devaluation. Inflation, of course, wages are flat, property sales falling, exports are leveling off, job growth is flattening, and perhaps most importantly, a stagnation of foreign investment.
Now, this is all on negative speculation that the UK will leave the EU full stop. Imagine the effect of when it does. Anyway, not directly related, but thus illustrates what a tricky position Ms. May finds herself in (if she even bothers to conduct reality checks). Foreign investors back Brexit Britain |

Anyway, you're always threatening that Britain will quit buying European goods. Even posting links to (understandable) concerns from EU businesses who sell to the UK. But you (and they) dismiss the fact that for UK importers to establish all new (reliable) supply chains from afar is no easy task, and frankly will be equally, if not more expensive. The UK isn't going to stop buying European goods anytime soon. And certainly not for the sake of waving the union jack with "pride". And frankly, even in the all-but-existentially insane event that Britain would vindictively ban European imports, the effect on the EU, while non-trivial, is hardly existential. Britain voted to leave. Warts and all. It's not "entitled" to "benefits" for leaving. Brexit means Brexit. You voted for it, so, live with it, whatever it means. I have posted, from your link which I saw in another media report, that a third of British businesses polled in your linked report said they were looking to break off with EU suppliers and find UK suppliers instead. Many more will be looking outside of the EU for suppliers. It is your link. Read it. Re the more expensive cost of non-EU goods, if they are to be, as you suggest, equally expensive, then what is the problem? And if they are to be more expensive, can you give me some examples of price differences? No one wants benefits for leaving. All I am saying is, taking note from your link, many UK firms are now looking outside of the EU for suppliers, something that may accelerate in the coming two years. This is good news for small UK businesses and employment, which hopefully will seep through to the British working population. Who cares if this will impact on the EU and Eurozone nations and whether it is trivial or existential or anything? That is now your problem, not ours. You live with it. |

More nonsense from Vino.

Do you know anything about the financial markets. They have deliberately partnered their very strong currency with a group of weaker ones, the net result being they can export in Euros rather than Deutschemarks and reap the benefit. Germany has become an economic rogue nation, running up a massive trade surplus knowing that the normal balance mechanism of a strengthening currency to choke off demand can no longer happen. It is the flip side of the situation where poorly performing economies such as Italy and Spain can no longer devalue their way to prosperity. Against this background the action or inaction of the ECB has a direct bearing on UK interest rate policy in the same way as the Bundesbank used to do. |

This is the whole problem with Brexit. It's ideological, not practical. Nobody wins. Everybody loses. But I reckon it'll make certain voters feel better, regardless. |

The biggest foreign investors in the UK are well known, I have put enough links in the 'segregated' thread about the third largest. Which sources of information are you willing to read then I can find something for you? |

Good on the UK for having the foresight to drop out and stay out, though. Excellent move - pity they're not capitalising on the advantage the combination of that plus EU membership plus the rebate plus the copped-outs gave them. |
