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...

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

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

Oh, you mean this respect?

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

Quote:

Speaking at the Government’s Global Investment Conference in London, Sir Mervyn gave the clearest signal yet that as head of Britain’s central bank he is partly to blame for failing to act before the crisis took hold in 2008.

Mea culpa? Mervyn King admits financial crisis mistakes

Quote:

The governor of the Bank of England has finally admitted he bears some responsibility for failing to see the signs of a financial crisis.

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

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.

Mod Comment - and you need to focus on the debate, not the person.

Personal insults are not debating.

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...

**Hugh** · 27-12-2016, 19:53

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)

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.

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.
