Since the Brexit vote, 10% of British manufacturers have lost contracts, 46% have increased their retail costs and 20% are planning staff cuts, directly to counter the effects they are feeling from Brexit.  If you think there are no negative effects then you are in la-la land.

Please supply a link, to show these figures are correct,and also proof that it’s the result of Brexit. Otherwise we can be forgiven into thinking it’s Another one of your made up scare stories.

A five fold increase you say? So that would mean reported hate crimes went up from 62,000 (2015-16) to 310,000.

 

This is from the BBC:

"The number of hate crimes in England and Wales has increased by 29%, according to Home Office statistics.

There were 80,393 offences in 2016-17, compared with 62,518 in 2015-16"

 

And you say this is mostly due to the EU referendum? Let's look again via the BBC:

 

"The biggest rise was in disability and transgender hate crimes, but this was due to better crime recording and more people coming forward, the report said.

It also noted a spike in hate crime around the time of the EU referendum.

There were also rises after the Westminster Bridge, Manchester Arena and London Bridge attacks this year."

 

Not sure where you get your facts from.

 

 

I was referring to the spike that they noted.  Immediately after the referendum the UK saw the biggest spike in racial and religious hate crimes ever recorded, a five fold increase.

You have yet to produce any resemblance of an argument to suggest that anything I have said is made up, and its pretty rich coming from you anyway, clearly the best you have is lies, Brexiteering suits you.

 

The figures come from one of the Chartered Institute of Procurement and Supply Brexit surveys, they ask thousands of British manufacturers about their experiences and plans regarding Brexit, they are the people in the know, and they are the people trying their best to lesson the blow, they are under no delusion that British manufacturing isn't about to take a potentially fatal hit.

Come on think positive,don’t be like the remoaners,who always seem to be negative.

There is but one certainty in life, the thinking British people will never accept the E.U.

 

 

 

And nothing before has divided us like Brexit, what exactly is this thing you are calling together?

I am not being pedantic, and the meaning you attach to it is not near enough. I am not calling you out for a typo or punctuation, but for the completely incorrect use of a word.

 

Ironic that is you leavers that are always telling us that people of greater intellect and a better educational standard  voted to remain, while those that voted for Brexit were of a lower educational and social standing.

 

I guess I should be thanking you for exposing the myth

Not all, but their problems are exasperated by Brexit, its been in decline for a long time, but Brexit might just finish them off.

I think that should be plural - armouries.

It’s like derogatory quantitative easing, introducing insults just to devalue the insults that have gone before

It is not acceptable to call all brexitears mentally, emotionally and socially  chalenged.

 

Firstly because that would be a breach of forum rules.

 

But most of all, that would be statistically incorrect, as it would be based on the assumption that TV Forum brexitears are a representative sample of brexitears in general.

Where are the ears brexiting too ?

 

Are your ears somewhat like some peoples teeth, they can be removed at night ?

But they have increased five fold, and for the first time in recorded history.  Did you read the link, it is far from fear mongering.
