Nobody on the Brexit side of the campaign had a clue as to what this really meant, and probably didn't expect to win. Now that the electorate have called their bluff, the Government are having to cast around desperately to find the straws from which they can construct a "plan".
"Brexit means Brexit"; not just a load of 'pony', it's a bleeding shire horse sized pile of crap.
They are politicians, they exist by moulding lies into half truths and using spin to convince the public that black is white, aided by their Fleet Street chums.
Wes, most people who voted for Brecit seem to have done so for a specific reason; control of immigration, more money for the NHS, recovering our national sovereignty, or simpy voting against David Cameron, etc. As each of thesd desires is eroded, it raises the question as to whether these voters will truly support whatever compromise / fudge we end up being lumbered with.
Teresa May is now ruling out a points based immigration system. How many supported Brexit on the basis that such a system was being promised / proposed ?
"Since the Brexit vote, the pound has fallen in value by more than 10% against both the US dollar and the euro.
Following the release of the latest PMI survey, the pound jumped by 1%, more than a cent, against the dollar, to $1.33 before falling back slightly. Against the euro, the pound was 0.6% higher at just under €1.19."
Over 9% still to go then.
Why not wait to see what the league table looks like at the start of December before deciding who has had a good / bad transfer window. Simply splurging cash is no guarantee of success.
