If Mr Bean were in charge for our negotiations you would still think we would come up smelling of roses.

As I said earlier, you already have your victory, eh, Pyrrhus?

Jesus. It's weird you were too busy foaming at the mouth during the referendum to actually pay attention to the arguments put forward by those you disagree with.

Just one example of many - Michael Gove, 19th June 2016:

"Whether we vote to leave or remain there are risks to our future, there are challenges in the global economy," he said.

"My view is that those challenges will be easier to meet, those risks will be less if we vote to leave because we will have control of the economic levers, we will have control over money we send to the European Union, we will have control over our own laws, and as a result we will be able to deal with whatever the world throws at us."

Want some more?

"There could, [Boris Johnson] admits, be a short-term hit to the economy but it would be “like the Nike tick” with “an initial period of dislocation and uncertainty … followed by very rapid improvement”." The Times, 27 February 2016,

Any more?

“Nobody can know for sure and there is no doubt there would be some uncertainty. But the fact is that most of the careful economic research says it could be plus to minus 1% as a best guess”. Andrea Leadsom, World at One, 26 February 2016

More?

“Many people are making this decision purely based on the maths, of course. Will we be better off in our out? I am not blind to this issue and recognise that exit may come at a cost. Also, there will be practical problems to overcome such as negotiating new trade deals… all we differ about is whether the price of exit is worth paying. I believe that it is.” Kit Malthouse MP, [Link]

How about some more?

"Yes I do believe there’ll be a shock and I said the same about two years ago … but the reality is that even though there might be a temporary shock, the outcome for the UK economy with Brexit is very positive … there will be some sort of uncertainty impact … I can understand where the Treasury is coming from in some respects that there would be a shock". Gerard Lyons (Boris Johnson’s Chief Economic Adviser; Daily Politics, 23 May 2016)

I could go on.

Try again.

No, in fact. Don't. You are utterly discredited. Just don't bother. You read (present tense and, it appears past tense) what you wanted to believe, to the extent that verifiable facts are irrelevant to you. Intellectually dishonest and stunted.

As to your pathetic attempts to row back after "hur-de-hur - we're worse dan Greece, innit! Brex5hit, eh?!". You are a waste of time to discuss these issues with. The "reason why" - appears to be (as I just saw you claim) to "kick out the forriners" - right? That's all it is. That's why we voted.

I have, endlessly detailed the "reasons why" I wanted us to leave the EU. If you weren't listening, I can't help you. Go back and look at this thread. I've laid it out ad-infintum. But I'm done re-debating the referendum. We won it, you didn't.

So yeah, last quarter growth is down "and we haven't even left yet". The treasury was predicting ARMAGEDDON on the day we voted. The. Very. Day. Where is it? Oh, let's see. Perhaps their methodology was completely flawed and bogus, as confirmed via this report published a few days ago:

I could dig out my own posts on this very thread about this exact point, made prior to the referendum, but I hate self-vindication....

...oh, go on then:

You spew unsubstantiated and factually incorrect crap on here, and I hope people see it for what it is. If only there were a filter such that we could all just ignore the low-information junk you post.

What a strange conclusion to draw. I haven't read the rest of your posts and clearly you haven't read mine as I've clearly stared on a number of occasions I've changed my mind about Brexit more times than I can count but in the last month or so I've seen it for the absolute stupidity it is. As for spouting unsubstantiated and factually incorrect crap, that's all brexiteers do. It's all crystal balled "I know better than the experts" nonsense and all you want to do is shut down anyone who tries to warn less informed and impressionable people by getting all aggressive. The bottom of society, disillusioned by the political class and austerity, who in high numbers voted for brexit are gonna be the ones who feel the full force of what is quite clearly becoming economic suicide. We're gonna lead the world are we? Are you sure about that, with David Davis leading Brexit negotiations? There are more articulate, experienced people than I who've no doubt held up a mirror to you many times over the past year but you carry on putting your fingers in your ear, screaming down the "remoaners" and blindly pushing your meaningless rhetoric about, despite the fact the idiocy of this venture is becoming more and more blaitant by the day. I'm sorry I'm not prepared to make the country poorer for some silly anti political agenda, spouted from people who purposely manipulate the truth and exagerrate the role the EU plays in ordinary folks problems.

We're the Arthur over ere!

The irony is beyond belief.

We're the Arthur over ere!

Yeah but personally I don't really fancy the idea of 15 years economic uncertainty in all honesty. I don't think many remainers claim to know it all, but voting on the premise of hoping in 15 years time things might be a bit better is pointless, especially when the evidence suggests the complete opposite, and it really does suggest that but we don't like experts anymore.

We're the Arthur over ere!

Give me the hard economic data that supports us being better off as a country once we end free trade with the largest economic block in the world. Please, I may of stumbled across the first person ever to be able to do this properly, the floors yours, provided you don't use crystal balls...
