I have been shouldering my responsibilities for over 50 years Stu, and have not made too bad a job of them. Besides I am not the one complaining about the referendum or the result. Others here were of the opinion that a Remain vote was so certain they even posted before the result was known that those Brexit supporters should show their respect for democracy and bow to the "will of the people" - but of course they are and proved themselves to be great believers in "One law for the Goose another for the Gander" such is their commitment to democracy.

Of course it is going to work irrespective of whether or not the UK is in or out of the EU. Hell if a decision to trigger Article 50 was taken in the UK tomorrow we would still be in the EU for at least the next two-and-a-half years, possibly three. Its the likes of you who appear to be running around like headless chickens bemoaning ills that have not even presented themselves so far. The world is a big place, far bigger than Europe, over the last three years our trade with that world has been ever increasing, while that with Europe has been declining. Easier for us negotiate trade deals with the rest of the world as a member of the EU? Don't make me laugh, ask Switzerland and Singapore who have in the last couple of decades made five times the number of foreign trade deals than the EU have - WHY? because they can do so without recourse to asking anyone else's permission to do so.

The link? cannot think what went wrong with it - but it is from the Guinard - basically tells you that the FTSE has risen about 5.5% since the referendum result became known - some drop in two weeks.
