But that's the problem, they came to their own conclusions simply because of the way Cameron tried to frighten the voters. He said that he'd remain no mater which way the vote went, and he told everyone that the UK would go into a meltdown if we voted to leave, so the conditions of Cameron being in charge of the UK after a leave vote, basically told the money markets that everything was going to go to the dogs. Conversely, if he'd talked the UK economy up in the event of a leave vote, the pound would have soured, exports would have dropped, holidaymakers would have gone abroad and taken their money with them, rather and an upsurge in visitors to the UK bringing money in, and we wouldn't have foreign companies buying Uk companies because of the cheap pound.

Oh I forgot to ignore you you're right I'll do it straight away ....bye bye.....I don't want to read you're boring posts anymore. Have you ever started an interesting thread ??? On answer I don't care.
It's time the Quitters linked arms and started chanting. Surely they can improve confidence and set the economy rising by repeating encouraging words to talk the economy up. Why haven't they done it already?
Meanwhile
"British business leaders may put on a brave face in public, but they're seriously worried about Brexit.
A new survey shows 76% of U.K. CEOs have considered moving their company headquarters or parts of their business out of the country in the wake of the Brexit vote in June.
"It would be surprising and almost negligent of CEOs to not be making contingency plans or evaluating options," said Simon Collins, U.K. chairman at KPMG, which conducted the survey. "

Oooooh, that pesky EU making us clean our beaches, and clean up our industry, and improving how we deal with our resources. The very thought.
And now of course many farmers are really getting the whole regrexit thing:

It must be especially galling for the UK government which is represented on the Council and also for the UK political parties which vote in the European Parliament (except UKIP, obviously, as Nigel draws his pay and allowances but almost never turns up to do the job he's paid for).
How terrible to be expected to comply with rules that you voted for....
Still, all that will end when (if) we eventually resign and give up our vote and our place in the conference rooms.
There'll be no more UK vetos once you flounce out.
But maybe Scotland will have a vote and a veto, even if England doesn't.

I believe that once Article 50 is invoked, it will be the beginning of the end for the lunacy that is the EU. Give it 10 yrs and no European country is going to have a "veto".

Lunacy indeed. But unfortunately not the end of the lunatics who have given it credence for so many years.
Once the eu goes they'll latch unto some other hare brained idealistic nonsense.
If they ever get past the bereavement stage. LoL.

What would have happened if Britain had declared unilateral independence and removed VAT from tampons?
Would it have lead to WW3?
I hope your interest in the matter is more altruistic than Prince Charles' was/is.
Perhaps we could have made up the deficit by levying VAT on razors and at the same time discouraged such effeminate behaviour (although fashion seems to be helping in this regard).
