Brexit 3

I am embarrassed to be British at the moment, Tingley.

Another embarrassed one here too! Plus my friend I met for coffee last week!

You could hold little embarrassment parties......no flag waving allowed!

Oh, I think we've all accepted that those who voted Brexit have won Ana, what we are complaining about is that there is no evidence that those who led the campaign have any idea what they are going to do now; the pound has nose-dived and is now competing with the Argentinian currency as the worst performing currency this year; several large-scale employers are considering moving their companies out of the UK or at best not intending to invest any further money into their enterprises here; because of the fall in the pound, fuel prices are already going up which will mean prices of anything which is transported will go up; we may well lose a considerable amount of one of our biggest money earners - the financial market - to the mainland of Europe; we have already lost the reputation we had as a country which welcomed people of all nationalities. What will it be like when Brexit actually happens - because we haven't even started yet? But of course we can all hide our heads in the sand and sing 'la,la,la', and pretend that everything in the garden is rosy.

Or we can be sensible and wait and see what happens when we are at least a year or so down the line.

Everyone can if they want to, Badenkate, but I expect the majority of citizens will be carrying on with their lives as usual (it being a case of having to, very often).

Those who enjoy complaining and campaigning will carry on doing that as well, good luck with that.

roses, perish the thought!

Well, in a year's time, according to our Prime Minister, we will have started into Brexit. Since every time that she mentions it the pound falls further, it's pretty certain that when we formally sign Article 50, there will be a further fall in the pound. At the very least, that means that most of the things we buy are going to get more expensive. Of course, the argument is that exports will be cheaper, but since we have to import a lot of the raw materials to make those exports and imports, of course, will be more expensive, that argument is suspect.

Brilliant roses My tortoise says hes going into hibination till it's over

roses I've probably been to every themed party going: I'm a bit stumped on how to get the embarrassed look.

Rosesarered, being sensible to me would be our representative MPs scrutinising every line of the forthcoming agreements to make sure we are getting the best deal. Two years down the line will be too late if we don't get it right at the beginning.

I'm not embarrassed to be English, or British, but then I've never been proud to be either. Seems pointless to be proud of being born in a particular part of the world. But I will be very interested to see just when those who thought Brexit was a good idea will start to change their minds (or vice versa, if by some remote chance it all goes well).

devor, that is such a sensible post.

I'm not proud to be born British but I'm very happy that I was. What I am proud of is what this little no nothing country( as some would say) has given to the world through our inventors, explorers, innovators. People that countless children al around the world know about.

Which people are they? Brunel and Charles Darwin? Please don't say James (made in Malaysia) Dyson....

I read somewhere that he supported UKIP, Tegan.

Are those really the only two you know about?

I was asking petra which ones she was referring to Ana, not you. Unless you would like to reply on her behalf? Feel free to do so.

Did Brunel support UKIP?

Probably both would have been horrified by the concept of the EU.

Phew; and there was silly me worrying about the value of the pound. No wonder us remainders are such numpties.....

Tegan means Remainers Ana

Yes, no sense of priorities, have we, Tegan?
