Some stuff I buy has increased in price and I'll pay it and still be happy with how I voted because I knew when I voted that there would be a short term economic hit of course at that time I didn't know our politicians had all the spine of a jellyfish and would throw the country under the bus.

Re: Post-Brexit Thread
 

Err, isn't that because the ones who led us Out had no plan. You voted for the "We Have No Real Idea What We Are Doing But We're Sure It Will Be OK In The End" plan ..

They knew what they were leaving but had no idea where they were going ..

No it's because Cameron said he'd stay and see it through and invoke article 50 upon conclusion of the vote and then he quit throwing everything into uncertainty land oh and of course Cameron was a remainer guess none of them could be trusted so anyone feeling smug is a bit of a prat.

Think folks are deluded if they think the current turmoil is temporary. Project Fear might be looked back on in a different light. Can't blame politicians either, all the main parties warned of the consequences.

They are also built in California where the pound had fallen to record low against the dollar

Also most American tech products are built in China. It's still dollars they charge.

Not true really. We knew for example we were heading for free trade with the rest of the world. We knew that there would be a period of uncertainty and once we know how the talks with the EU go that the Markets and the £ will pick up again. After Christmas we should start to see a difference and hopefully by then the talks will be well underway.

We knew that other countries would be queuing up to trade with us so we knew there would be only short term problems.

We knew that we'd be rid of the bureaucracy of Brussels freeing us up to negotiate with other countries once A50 is invoked.

The plan was to invoke A50 and begin negotiations with both the EU and the rest of the world.

We know remain wouldn't accept the result and try to delay it. They have had lawyers trying to see how legal it is and if it has to have an Act of Parliament. Actually it doesn't. As far as I know there are 2 ways of doing it. Repeal the 1972 Act that took us into the EU or a Royal intervention. However, I'm betting they'll take the Parliament rout. I expect A50 to invoked in September.

Re: Post-Brexit Thread
 

We cannot have any official trade negotiations until the article 50 two years is over and we are officially no longer a member of the EU, invoking article 50 is the start of the exit process it will not be the beginning of any official trade talks.

Well that point has been disputed.
