Well, will an actual true brexit really happen ??? all this fluffing around !! should of just left then negotiated.

 

Things have started going up, i.e. petrol etc, so this will hit people and goods soon

Being a feminist, I don't think Theresa May's the man for the job. I think someone elected should be in charge. It's alright though, Trump'll just grab her by the puffy coat she'll be wearing.

It looks like the UK economy is doing rather well. How can this be? We were assured that if we voted for Brexit there would be economic devastation.

 

I've also not heard anything about the war that David Cameron said a Brexit vote would bring.

 

The headline below is from the FT..

 

Premature to say this..they havent triggered article 50 yet.

Lets wait and see where we are in a years time

[flatyre]

can anyone explain in simply English why the government or whoever it was has voted to block the go ahead of article whatever it is? I thought we had a democratic vote:confused1:

[Mark J]

It isn't that they want to block it. The idea was that there might be a consultation as to what the plan was before they triggered Artice 50. Now it looks, from the 130 word bill, with 5 days notice, that they're seeking to push forward with no consultation. Personally I think this is a bad idea. The referendum result was a democratic vote so no one is going to try to contest that. My concern though, is that the best deal for Britain, might not be the best deal for people.

 

So far, we've had "Brexit means Brexit"...

[skyhuck]

All very well, but i take it that you havent looked at the inflation rate recently?

 

Yes, it's below the Bank of England target, so I get your point?

We don't elect our PM's

[Mark J]

Fair enough, we don't but we do vote for the party of our choice. I base this on the structure of the party as it stands, the party's choice of leader, the promises they make and how those choices will affect my life. After the result of the referendum the whole leadership of the Conservative party jumped ship so we got Theresa May.

The pound has lost value, everything we import cost more...is that not enough financial consequent enough? Maybe you don't have pounds to spend guy
