Re: Post-Brexit Thread
 

Well you see folks just can't help banging on about a statement made by a campaign group with no actual political power and which they dismissed as a pathetic joke, whilst conveniently overlooking what those who were running the country (like the PM & Chancellor) actually told us they would do if we dared to ignore them - emergency budget, tax rises, blah, blah, blah...

Yeah I can see how they're on entirely the same scale of credibility and duplicity... :rolleyes:

Anyway, I'll be waiting for these people to contribute further on the wisdom of remaining part of the EU as it flounders from one crisis to another but I dare say they'll continue to be conspicuous only by their absence in such discussions. It's really no surprise that they love to pick up on every bit of bad news here and cite is a consequence of Brexit yet never seem to have anything to say about all that's going wrong in EUtopia...

Respect has to be earned; it's not an automatic appendage to a job description. Mervyn King has it.

Mr Carney needs to start getting his interest rate forecasts right or his Brexit predictions or apply for a job as a Mountie back home :D.

Re: Post-Brexit Thread
 

Maybe Carney ought to be as respected as the outcome of the referendum. That'd be something eh? :D

Oh, you mean this respect?

Sir Mervyn King admits policymakers made 'major mistakes' in financial crisis

Mea culpa? Mervyn King admits financial crisis mistakes

Really guys, just admit it: you "respect" him because he agrees with your point of view. No more, no less.

I think you should get a girl friend ;)

Re: Post-Brexit Thread
 

I've got more respect for someone who can admit they got things wrong and had some responsibility for events then the never ending line of continually incorrect who blame everything and everyone else rather then take any responsibility.

At least he is safe from the likes of Gary Lineker.

Yeah it's not like the referendum losers to carry on quoting opionions which agree with theirs is it It's not like they can't accept and keep challenging the outcome of the referendum result is it... :D

Re: Post-Brexit Thread
 

It's not like they keep insulting those who disagree with them, is it?

(with the notable exception of Mr K, who seems to be trying for 'sore loser of the year' award)

Re: Post-Brexit Thread
 

Bit uncalled for Hugh ! Yes, I am a 'remoaner' and proud. I think what's happened is a disaster. Time will tell and everyone is entitled to their opinions but they shouldn't be silenced as a result of this vote.

However it's not about winning/losing. That sort of American mentality is for football louts which seems to be increasingly spilling over into everyday life. Everyone might lose in the end; I genuinely really hope I'm wrong.

Re: Post-Brexit Thread
 

I'm confused now. You seem not to think of yourself as a 'sore loser' whilst Hugh has cited you as being one. If you're not a sore loser it seems unfair and personal for anyone to suggest that you are.
