Re: Post-Brexit Thread
Anyone who voted on the basis of campaigns from either side was onto a loser and anyone who was swayed by either campaign clearly didn't look too much into the subject as neither campaign gave out much real information. There was clearly a group who went into all of this with none to little idea on their position or reason for it and they were probably evenly split between both sides. Majority i suspect had their decision made before the campaign started and voted that way.

Have to agree with that. Nothing tangible came out of any of the debates.

More "in" campaign lies uncovered:

Wolfgang Schaeuble, the German finance minister, came to London to tell us that “out means out”, and that we’d be treated like any third country; now he says that George Osborne told him to use those words, and that a special deal will be found.

Brexit scare stories are evaporating like morning dew. France was going to throw our immigration officers out of Calais; now it says they’re staying.

Before the vote, Siemens threatened that Brexit would bring “significant and negative long-term effects”. Now, its chief executive, Joe Kaeser, says: “We’re here to stay”

I wonder what sweeteners Cameron had promised these companies in return for their support of project fear? Plenty more to be revealed methinks.

Well I dare say the EU is a nice little current and future earner for some very powerful people and global organisations. I'm sure they'd have very much appreciated having the UK still in the club and able to influence policy favourably.
Lets face it, the stakes are massive and the future rewards for those 'on side' are considerable. Just a pity for them that the public rained on their parade eh...

Erm, the Vote Leave didn't quote a 'billed' figure, but stated the £350 million a week was sent to Europe.

But you knew that...

The Markit/Cips data for July showed that the purchasing managers' index, or PMI, for the construction industry fell to 45.9 in July from 46.0 in June.
The index measures new orders, deliveries and employment, among other things, and is considered a key indicator in the confidence of the construction sector.

A 0.1 drop, that's huge. Construction projects are a LONG TERM thing. Buying of land, design plans, planning permission, all take time. Any new orders, deliveries, and employment would be as a result of projects planned near the beginning of the year. Therefore nothing to do with Brexit. There's a surprise.

The figures deal a further blow to a sector that was already in recession in the second quarter and has been greatly underperforming the rest of the economy, Markit said.

Re: Post-Brexit Thread
Of the six family members i have in the building trade none are seeing less work quite the opposite they are farming work out to other company's as they have too much. If you want to see gloom you can find something to back it up and right now there are a lot of gloomy people in the UK.

Don't try and tell me my job, it's been awful since Christmas and the projects that were postponed for the vote are now being shelved all together, I hear that everyday from clients.

Re: Post-Brexit Thread
Just back from Cyprus and our small poll there runs
Local Cypriots - want out of the EU but will never get the vote (tourist facing job people)
Ex-pats - want to stay, worried about change BUT one couple pointed out that some benefits were in place prior to EU because Cyprus is part of Commonwealth.
---
As an aside one restaurateur said when he opened he was approached by British expats who asked what discount he would give. When replied none they said "You don't understand, we're expats, what discount will you give us 10%, 20%, 30%". He didn't give any and since he is still there, full of locals (and we were full of his food) we didn't really care he wasn't full of Brits.
