Come on then, in or out of Europe

[re japi]

News, papers and Facebook is full of Brexit now, even more than before the Vote...

That damp squib has put 1m GBP of projects on hold for me this week so not a particularly damp squib from my perspective, seems to have done a very good job a setting off the charge!

What I don't understand is Osborne's reluctance to hit the button on tax increases and inflation cuts, why wait to start generating the revenue needed to shore up the books?  Regardless of when anything happens the sooner you start getting money into the pot the sooner you can start being tactical about spending to fix things up.

So far this is not what i voted leave for. I really thought Boris and Gove where gonna take charge. I was expecting it to get worse but in this short time since exit i was hoping for more boris/gove press reassuring but theyve disappeared and looks like imploding. Time will tell.

Right now they are busy with the big stuff - making sure Boris gets enough votes to become your leader and his sidekick gets to be your Chancellor. They have no time to deal with anything else.  Westminster thinks it is more important than the chaos it creates.  Be nice to think there would be some sort of opposition but guess what...they're at it too. 

Oh to be in England....with its downgraded credit rating, limping currency, lame duck prime minister and a future woven out of empty promises and half truths.  Welcome to the 'the people's choice' meltdown which will last...as long as it lasts. That won't be Boris' call because the rest of the world can count past the number 10.  Never mind, he said a European free trade deal would be a shoe-in so that must be true...right?

Feeling the effects already, and so it begins.

Today we were informed that we need to put the price  up 10% on Hawk pads due to the £ to $ exchange rate!

How long before fuel goes up then food in the supermarkets etc because of transportation due to the pound becoming no more than funny money 

I was told a story from a boss of a parts warehouse who like us has been quiet for two weeks, of how his floor staff jumped for joy wearing union jacks,

Like he said, will they still be jumping for joy when he starts laying them off! 

Today its felt like the UK has committed the equivalent of Hari Kari , or is it just me

I think its too early to say anything, time will tell...

Ofcourse all markets, prices and so on jumped up, but it was suspected. Things will smooth up soon and pound will get its price up soon...

But why dont those two are trying to take leadership, I do not understand... morons...

You know, I have enjoyed this conversation, even though I dont give a crap about politics. But in this case your choices affects us too directly.

Im actually quite narrow minded. This open conversation with both sides giving their opinion and thoughts really makes you think about all that stuff...

I dont fully understand all that you are saying but I am trying to keep up with you

But as I said before, to me it seems that democracy is dead. You should be thankful that your politics did give you a change to choose, no matter what. And if they really respect peoples opinion, well thats actually quite unheard off...

Ofcourse parting out EU isnt simple task, and Im sure that you have probably two years of fighting before you...

But democracy isnt a thing that some old german woman is ordering all europe what to do! Doesn't that remind you some bloke called Adolf... And now Merkel is threatening others if they are thinking to leave EU, that is just ridiculous. I really really wish that she and all the others will have to face consequences someday and will be brought to justice. Cause basically they have destroyed europe, without open war...

One thing that really pisses me of in this hole EU thing is that those who decides all that crap in EU, we didnt vote them there! And we cannot vote them out either. They are there just because "friend" system. Friends choose them to get that position. And that really shows corruption in this system, and that is not a real democracy...

Dont forget eu is an elite country club for failed uk politicians....the Kinnocks springs to mind. Theyve claimed a fortune and who knew Glenys Kinnock was an MEP....theyve had millions of tax payers cash....
Ive said it before and ill say it again i looked at my situation before deciding my vote i prepared for it but i was surprised at the leave result.
Its down to our politicians now stop stalling get the Artitcle 50 in and get on with...this limbo state is making matters worse.

Just following up on Clive's post on Tuesday, fuel went up here on Monday.   No doubt that will find its way through to the transport companies.   Likewise with the weaker Pound commodities from a Euro country are likely to go up by around 10% assuming things stay as they are now.  I've already seen our first cost increases on contracts we have with EU airlines where we have to pay in Euro's.

I'm ever hopeful that as markets settle down the Pound will strengthen a little more but I'm certainly not counting my chickens! 

So Clive.....it's not just you!

Worse today, compared to just one week ago, when the pound was already junk against the Dollar , a $2000 Dollar order physically cost us a 10% loss of £135 over last week .

This is real life thing not the rubbish we see on the news, Boris, Boris , where are you, come and tell me again how it won't affect anything,

O dear I guess your somewhere else by now     

[KenD]

Well, the Pound hit a 2 year low against the Euro today and the Dollar something like a 30 year low - and its hurting.

And where are the leaders of the exit campaign exactly?  A rhetorical question of course...Boris has lost the courage of his convictions and is now demanding the government sort out the mess he was largely responsible for and the other has achieved his goal!  Not a fan of Juncker but he about summed up the Brexit "leaders" as leaving a sinking ship.  What a mess!
