In a single day, the detractors of brexit have had their predictions undeniably, inarguably demonstrated to have been correct...and yet people are saying "wait and see".. Wait to see -what-?
Everyone I spoke to who voted leave said that we would absolutely see this shock in the short term. Where the 'experts' have it wrong is the medium to long term. People are literally saying this country is irreparably damaged as a result of this. We will bloody wait and see about exactly that.
No, we won't, we've already seen it. Recovery cant make that money reappear (because you'd still have it, and all of it's interest, regardless of how things go for you in the next few years...and you simply don't now). Think of it like this. If I lost a ten dollar bill...-if- I then worked my ass off to make ten more dollars......I'm still exactly half as rich as I would have been. I haven't gotten anything back. It's gross neutral and a net loss. The "wait and see" camp is banking on the if, not realizing that the if is irrelevant. How was that -if- supposed to happen in the first place? Better trade deals? Not going to happen, and that's no secret.
Perhaps this is what Tibs was referring to when he mentioned that a referendum wasn't a suitable tool for deciding on such matters?
