Well I have said that I do not expect things to be as bad as some fear (and certainly not as good as some hope.)   Like Thomas Hardy, I think it will be largely "neutral tinted haps and such". But I do think it will have significantly darker tints than now, especially for the individual. The softer the Brexit, the less the damage. But damage there will be, I have no doubt. I do not "believe" the forecasts in the sense of whether the numbers are accurate: the world is too complicated for that. But is the general tone of them believable? I reckon so.   And I do believe Airbus and LandRover and Nissen and the rest understand their business better than anyone else.
