Brexit has created chaos in Britain – nobody voted for this

[simoh1490]

Can I just say how swimmingly Brexit appears to be going and how our future has never looked brighter. Thank god all those horrible project fear fantasies never materialised, you know, a sinking Pound, cuts to services, business pulling out of the UK, increased crime resulting from budget cuts......phew, we were lucky we avoided those things, well done everyone, keep up the good work.

[RuamRudy]

I have been travelling these past couple of days - oh, how I missed the cut and thrust of Brexit. It never ceases to amaze me how, if you turn your back for 2 minutes, the total number of pages in thisthread jumps by at least half a dozen.

 

To save me wading back through the bitter tears of remainers and brexiteers alike, have we touched upon the important work of Bloomberg, who's recent report suggests that when Farage, as the polls closed, indicated that the referendum was lost, he actually had strong information of the contrary, but was part of a massive effort to play the money markets?

What, these ones you mean ?

 

Emergency Budget

Immediate Recession

Housing Market Collapse

 

Or did you mean

 

Economy still growing

Best unemployment / Employment figures for 40 years.

Lowest deficit figure in Decades

Lowest Government borrowing in decades

 

Nice of you to pop in. My only surprise it was not in direct defense of Grouse ?

Uh - huh

 

Quote

The report claims that Brexit pollsters shared data privately ahead of the exit poll, allowing traders to cash in on the pound's decline.

 

Bloomberg alleges Nigel Farage told the media he thought the Leave vote had lost, while holding information that indicated it had won.

Britain’s Queen Elizabeth granted royal assent to Prime Minister Theresa May’s flagship Brexit legislation on Tuesday, ending months of debate over the legislation that will formally end the country’s European Union membership.

Thank you for pointing out the UK housing situation, I had missed that one, homeowners must be ecstatic.

And did I mention crime, oh wait, yes sorry, I did.

But that lowest deficit/borrowing thingy, isn't that something to do with the value of the near worthless falling Pound?

In defence of Grouse", whatever are you talking, isn't he a remainer or something similar, I can't remember, it's my age you see.

The Bloomberg article suggests that YouGov were giving Sky News free analysis while at the same time giving a more detailed analysis with a crucially different conclusion to a hedge fund, for which they received $1M. We now know how Rees Mogg's buddy made 200 million overnight; it would not take a huge leap of the imagination to conjure up a very plausible scenario where they were all in on it. But like you, I doubt our suppine governmental agencies and police will do anything about it regardless of what evidence is available.

Did you study originality at uni, or does it just flow naturally from you. 

 

What an embarrassing, cringe inducing comment; I hope you are hiding behind the sofa practicing David Brent gurning

Yes and yes, how remarkable, both fit perfectly with your vote for Brexit in being correct.

Though they mention the 15k jobs protected they seem to have forgotten to mention the 32k jobs that were protected the previous year which is a 54% drop.

I have been following Carole Cadwalladr on Twitter - she is certainly going into overdrive regarding it, but she also admitted that, if it is true, those involved are too high up the food chain and the potential ramifications of an investigation too sensitive to expect anything to come of it.

 

I think we should all be seeking clarity on this though. It is after the vote, so doesn't affect the Brexit outcome per se, but it highlights how we, the ordinary people, are pawns regardless of what side you are on.

Let me help you out as you misquoted me.

 

 

 

 

As the resident clueless Banking Guru. HSBC spent the years 2010  - 2014 trying to move their whole operation from London to Hong Kong. This failed for several reasons.

 

So, to shoot you down in flames yet again - '' HSBC have not always maintained a commitment to remain in the UK ''

 

 

 

OK, in my mind I was commenting on banks post Brexit and meant they have always committed to staying in the UK in all of their Brexit statements, but thanks for the correction as pedantic as it may be perceived to be.

In the English language, quotations of something that was originally spoken, require quotation marks. Italics may be used for written (but unspoken) extracts. Both should be accompanied by citations if you want to be totally correct.

 

But from your question, it sounds as if you are unfamiliar with this convention. 

 

It seems that tebee has recently posted things that were originally spoken but because of the way he posts it is hard to tell. But a simple search shows that these posts are just cut/pastes without any reference.

 

 

 

 

It is like you think you have caught him out but neglect the fact that he chose to italicise what he had copied and in doing so emphasised the fact that he had copied it.

 

Not really sure what you are getting at when you speak of requirements, what may be done, what is totally correct, and this convention.  You are on a forum, this is not the thesis you never wrote, relax.

[evadgib]

The government's flagship Brexit legislation has officially become law, Speaker John Bercow has announced.

Mr Bercow told MPs the EU Withdrawal Bill had received royal assent - meaning the Queen has agreed to make it into an Act of Parliament.

The legislation enables EU law to be transferred into UK law in an attempt to ensure a smooth Brexit.

It was subject to fierce debate as it passed through Parliament, with many attempts to change its wording.

The texts he pinches are too long, too repetitive, too often, and too boring. It's a lazy way of not making a point. Yes this is supposed to be a forum, not a scrapbook. 

 

You were trying to tell me how to quote but you can't when don't know how to do it properly. That's what I'm getting at.

Not these particular allegations, you haven't -  just more to add to the pile. But these do seem particularly damning. Surely we should all be up in arms if it turns out to be true that Farage knowingly fed the public a lie in order for his friends to profit from the market turmoil that would ensue when the actual results became known?
