-and drugs, for sure.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

The markets will recover, like you say the markets go up and down all the time, those that lost out yesterday will reap tomorrow and the world will keep turning.....

Markets go up and down all the time, yes. However that's usually because of trades, company revenues, etc. This was completely different. This isn't just going to bounce back, because the pound itself is down.

Or to put it a way people might understand: if bankers are freaking out about it, you know it's actually serious...

And not to forget that several banks are abandoning ship already.

Quote:Banks have already begun to take action to shift operations out of the UK, with the governor of France’s central bank warning on Saturday that Britain’s financial services groups were at risk of losing their right to operate across the EU.

Fixed that for you. Same old narrative, same old deception. I don't know who's snake oil merchant's fairy tales you were buying when voting to leave, but the pension legend is one of the oldest ones in the book.

The markets have never not recovered before, why would this time be any different? I'm only going on previous events of similar and higher impact.

They haven't really recovered since 2008. Not as much that ordinary citizen's profited from a growing market and job creation. That's what you blamed the EU for, if you hadn't noticed. So, chances are, this isn't exactly adrenalin to an already ailing market.

Isn't it two years from the time they invoke Art. 50?

And what happens if it isn't done?  Or if parliament fails to ratify?  What are the rules for the EU expelling a member state?

Well, they are already in an Island... Proudly alone.
