You continue to not actually respond to what is written. No one is talking about Brexits ‘final accounts’ but ok. . .
As someone whose business involves import & export from/to the EU & as any quick google search will attest, the impacts of Brexit were felt pretty immediately.
The pound plummeted to a generational low in the immediacy of the vote, & has never recovered. Another immediate impact.
Brexit is not a short term or a long term thing explicitly so if it takes a person 20-30 years to realise your buying power is less today than it was before the vote then said person isn’t just loveless but bloody clueless.
I find it startling you’re talking about something 20-30 years into the future when actual impacts i. the short term could be discussed. It’s almost as if you’re having a discussion in bad faith. . .
The irony. You’re labelling me for doing something I categorically haven’t.
Make sure you don’t say posters are calling people things when they are not again.
I didn’t read the rest, move on.
I responded to exactly what you wrote. You expressed that you couldn't understand how people could be affected by Brexit and not be upset at SJR. I just explained to you that very few people voted in favor of Brexit not understanding it could very well get shaky for some time. Virtually every pro-Brexiteer understands this but a large chunk of remainers just refuse to because they are too busy being bitter over the result of a 7 year old referendum which they took personally, that their own personal opinion did not hold up in a democratic referendum.
I will explain to you what 20-30 years mean, as you seem to believe I think it means only realising the purchase power. When something huge happens, like Brexit, virtually the whole society needs to change and adapt. This takes time and there could be voids in the labour market and delivery of goods and services (decrease in immigration), trade deals that are not in place or optimal (import/export mess) etc. that causes disruption. Over time, this will be corrected. Otherwise, how can countries outside of the EU function? The EU is only on spot 24 in the GDP per capita league.
The pound was already going down from August 2015. We cannot know that the levels it reached within a few months post the referendum would not have been the same without the referndum, but through a more slow steady deline. If you look at the development of the pound to the euro you can see that, long term, it's virtually the same now as it has been since after the financial crisis of 2008 except for some short term changes. Again, you need to look at things long term and if you do you will find that Brexit has had virtually no impact of the value of the euro compared to the pound. The downhill for the pound started in 2007, not on June 24 2016. Look at a graph from the year 2000 to today and you cannot event tell where Brexit happened just looking at the line itself and not the dates on the axis. You'd think it happened in 2007....
Regarding acusing, or at least suspecting, SJR was a racist, you wrote the following about SJR. We should not forget he is a
pro-Brexit’ier which was rooted in racism. This constant portrayal of sJR as ‘good’ is pathetic.
Unless you have any quotes or actions from him to support this, it means that you suspect him of being a racist through classic guilt by association.
If we should not suspect him of holding racist views, please elaborate why your quote on his Brexit stance, a movement you believe is rooted in racism, has any relevance in the duscission.
