FTSE closed at an all time high today. Think how high it would be if it wasn't for that bloody Brexit!

And that would benefit us how exactly?

FTSE 250 ends at highest point in the last 5 years (18,077), with the exception of 22nd May 2015 (18,192).

Where's the recession? Where's the mass unemployment? Where's the locusts? Where's the war? Where's the relocation of banks? Where's the drop in house prices? Why are we spending a record £77.56bn at Christmas when "Brexit has ruined us"?

Oh, I see. Brexit hasn't happened yet. Well, those treasury forecast figures were based on a "vote to leave", not explicitly the triggering of A50. There are forecasts for 2016 Q3 and Q4.

Oh, but let's play a game then: why don't the doom-monger idiots provide a new set of forecasts, based on the trigger in March 2017? I mean, if they can predict what the growth of the economy will be in 2030, based on an arbitrary A50 trigger date, surely we can get some new apocalyptic figures to enjoy for only a few months hence? What's stopping them?

Sorry about the 500 thing bud.

As for the recession, it'll hit soon and Brexit will provide nothing more than a handy cop-out to the blinkered who ignore the fact that the fundamentals of our economy have been dog-pooh for a long while now, yet think the FTSE is the be all and end all. A market that has grown on nothing more than share buy-backs afforded by QE funds and cheap borrowing!
As for the EU, the Italian Banking crisis grows worse and again we see yet more financial problems in Spain emerging. And Deutsche Bank hasn't gone away........

Edit: Throw into the mix the ECB printing money to benefit their 'favoured' corporations.
Europe is a cesspit of corrupt cr-p yet 48% believe it's the way forward.
Bless 'em.

Most buy backs are to facilitate exercising of employee share option schemes surely?

Very good points, TUX. Capitalism 21st century stylee is merely a hovel built on sand. And it's sinking.

The Scottish economy would have tough times if it voted YEs and the proposals from Salmond last time based upon an inflated oil price were a nonsense.

Even if the argument about independence came down to economics - and in my view it shouldn't - After 250 years of union you are saying that Scotland cant support its standard of living - surely that is a reason to leave and take control of your own affairs rather than staying in a relationship which as you describe is failing.

Don't get me wrong Sedles... I actually WANT them to vote for Independence.

The Jocks are ripping us off on a daily basis due to the Barnett formula.

Sturgeon, Salmon and their SNP chums will get a cheery wave goodbye from me mate!

Sir Ivan Rogers UK Ambassador to EU quits.

Good.... he was a Bremoaner and we'll be better off negotiating our withdrawal without his defeatist attitude.

The arrogance of hardline Brexiteers is astounding.

The man was trying to help the UK (and still is) by conveying the thoughts of other EU partners and he gets elbowed out of the way.

The bit in his letter to his staff that I getting all the attention reads

'I hope you will continue to challenge ill-founded arguments and muddled thinking and that you will never be afraid to speak the truth to those in power'.

Well I can't imagine anyone wanting our people to not challenge muddled thinking or ill founded arguments - so not sure what the big deal is.
