        This is really great stuff and so unexpected from the Guardian, perhaps with enough negative stories we can really talk the country down into a deep recession.

        Then we can smugly sit back and say, "Told you so! It's all Brexits fault" and then get the referendum re-run, with the correct result this time of course.

            You mean like you have done since joining here, saying everything is the EU/Germany's fault?

            You can't blame others for using the same tactics you use.

              So it's all the negative talking, and the Brexit thingy in 18 months is just a sideline insignificant story?

              Cretinous Brexiters have not learnt one simple thing about markets - they based on predicted future. If Brexit was so fecking rosy then all would be well, but it fecking ain't a bunch of roses even though Brexit smells too.

                They are right. The issue in 2008 was too much borrowing. The solution has been more borrowing.

                Nothing to do with Brexit - except it will bring forward the day of reckoning...

                  And that's a unique selling point of Brexit?

                    Now I know you're YAC (TM).
                    Hard Brexit now!
