So you can't give an answer then...? :roll:

You've basically plucked a factoid from the european commission website to bash Brexit with but can't actually back it up with any facts or statistics when questioned can you?

Instead, as normal you resort to insults and profanity.

Still, it must be tough for your remoaners watching every single one of your Brexit claims proved false and slipping away like sand through your fingers... :lol:

In all fairness, the “remoaners” as you call them have not been proven wrong yet, because Brexit has not happened 100% yet.



In all fairness I was just asking for the details of a point that CoCo had made repeatedly... :wink:

In return I got CoCo's normal eclectic blend of insult and profanity. :roll:

The UK doesn't have to leave 100% for us to know how its leaving will affect 'The World's Largest Trading Block'... A polite answer to a polite question shouldn't be too much to ask should it...? :?

Although I would have to point out that many of the remoaner's claims (Irish backstop, hard border, planes not flying, etc. etc.) have been proven wrong already

I am just addressing your statement. The fat lady hasn’t sung yet for either side. Be patient until she does, maybe by the end of the year or beyond, then everyone can make their claims of being right and point fingers to others being wrong. Right now there are a lot of grandstanding going on by the UK and the EU.



As I pointed out earlier, all that has absolutely nothing to do with my points about the size of the trading bloc does it...? :roll:

CoCo used it as a club to beat Brexit, he should be prepared to defend it with relevant facts, not just resort to profanity and insults...

To be honest, personally I haven’t paid much attention about Brexit since the General Election. I am just on a wait and see mode at the moment. The rest of you should do the same without insults and claims of who is right and who is not. There really isn’t any point until the fat lady sings.

The way things are going, that fat lady could well be Coronavirus, which will bring the EU down to its knees like everyone else.

So how the hell can anyone determine then whether BREXIT had any affect? It won't stop many people though blaming BREXIT when in actual fact BREXIT has nothing to do with it at all.

One of the countries most affected by this disease is in fact an EU member.

It is all “luck of the draw” at the moment which country is worse off than the other when it comes to Coronavirus. Italy did nothing to bring this on them, other than the fact there’s a lot of bunga bunga that goes over there. You can’t point the EU member suffering more than the UK just because it is an EU member state. We may well be at the very very early stage on the Coronavirus, so there’s time for it to become a major problem to other countries yet.

I am scheduled to meet with 3 Italian clients next Friday in Zurich, but since the latest developments in Italy, I will cancel the meeting. If I choose not to go to Italy just to reduce the the chance of not catching the virus, then it makes no sense for me to allow “Italy” to come to me. Everyone needs to do their part to try and extinguish this virus.

I just came from my favourite store, Lidl and loaded up on toilet paper, paper towels and paper tissues along with laundry stuff. I can be locked in my place for few months as I am prepared. I already keep the most important items in the house at all times, which is 8 x 1 liter bottles of virgin olive oil, lots of cans of tomatoes, lots of bouillon stock, rice and pasta.

Must not forget the liquor cabinet with variety of gin. :wink:

No it doesn't!

BREXIT has nothing at all to do with it.

Currencies will go up and down every day!

Every time it goes down, you blame BREXIT when nothing has changed at all about Britain's status.

If you haven't noticed, the global economy right now is in turmoil.

Australian Government has also announced it will go into recession for the first time in 30 odd years. Our currency is at a 30 year low to the USD.

So NO, BREXIT has stuff all to do with anything right now.

So no one can know if brexit is having any effect yet YOU know brexit is nothing to do with sterling's fall. So as far as I can tell what you are saying is no one can know what effect it is having except YOU ?

The facts are Sterling is falling vs the EURO and the Dollar. Even after the US ban on EU travel that excludes the UK. So why is this ? Why is sterling reacting worse ? Is it beyond the realm of possibilities that on the eve of a potential world wide global economic crisis of huge proportion that a country that has set itself a year end deadline to agree a new trading relationship with its biggest trading partner and that also needs to strike new trade deals with hundreds of other countries all at the same time, is considered to be in a worse position than countries that are not doing this ?

There is NO evidence at all that BREXIT has anything at all to do with what is a minor currency fluctuation. If you have any evidence to the contrary then I am happy to accept it. The BoE actually predicted the weakness and they even gave the reasons why. I posted a link.

Any economic turmoil at this point is global, and is effecting most countries in the EU, to North America, Asia and Australia. Right now, the world is panicking over the outbreak of a possible pandemic as if this is the one to beat Spanish Flu. If it becomes anything like the Spanish Flu, then the global economy is going to become a major train wreck.
