Britons never, never, never shall be slaves.

Slavery was never abolished.
It was perfected.

This is a very good article about Britain's 'imperial amnesia'.

Nah, I'll just try and get on with things while you lot go about arguing about your cock sizes for the next 2 years.

Genuine lol

Now that we've triggered Article 50, can the remainiacs stipulate the timetable of Armageddon, as per the "expert consensus" provided during the referendum campaign.

When will house prices plummet (actually looking forward to that one)
When's the mass unemployment?
Is the capital flight before or after Qatari and Deutsche Bank (just this week alone) ploughing billions (not hyperbole, yes - billions) into the economy
When do I have to pay my £4300 Brexit bill?
Is there anything locusts don't like?
Is the punishment budget next week?

Will be interesting to see how these expert predictions stand the test of time. Not that the acolytes will ever concede they got it wrong.

I'm personally looking forward to the citizens of these countries getting mighty pissed off that their leaders (unelected or otherwise) are more interested in politiking for the dream of an "ever closer union" too-big-to-fail self-punishing superstate than they are about securing jobs, safety and security with what will be their largest economic neighbour. The goodwill towards Brussels will evaporate very soon after they prioritise their sad little flag ahead of mouthes to feed.

Well just this week Goldmans, JPM, and two other global banks admitted they were going to moving operations to Europe. Lloyds of London has had to set up a significant operation in Brussels (and that's after two other major insurers already moved) and just about every major non-UK bank (and even a couple of the UK ones) are drawing up plans to move staff to EU countries.

So it is happening.

And if you really wanted to point to a good indicator of global prosperity, you literally couldn't have picked a worse one that DB - the basket case of global banking (except perhaps RBS).

The majority of this country now believe that in the next 10 years we will be worse off (polling for IHS Markit today - 28.9% better, 18% same, 53% worse). That includes a large number of those who voted for Brexit. There is no coherent argument - at least one that is not predicated on blind faith - that says we will be better off.

Sovereignty may return (it's a bit of a myth anyway) and immigration may be cut (although the government already indicating that's probably not going to happen by much), but this bonfire of the regulations that's supposed to free up British business to rule the world again? It's a fiction.

And to be clear I don't know what is going to happen. But it is a much more reasonable argument to suggest we are likely to struggle economically than the magical world of fairies and unicorns that Brexiters like yourself were peddling.
