I saw nothing (apart from the £350m lie) from the out campaign to suggest any of those things were a benefit to leaving the EU. Maybe you can explain?

Caveat Emptor.

My heart bleeds for them.

If the experts predicted they'd be poorer, they chose to ignore then it turns out the experts were right all along, they deserve all they get.

Thankfully the Guardian has had no connection to Manchester for many years when it was the Manchester Guardian it was a class newspaper until it moved south and when it did it went downhill.

Hang on a minute, a poll said something, and we are supposed to take it seriously able we??

Haha, don't make me laugh!!

People are still trusting of polls, come on now, haven't we learnt anything in recent times?

Do not believe any polls! It is quite that simple!

Cameron and Osborne were campaigning to remain in the UK so of course they were warning of the dangerous consequencies of voting Leave, especially the probability that we would leave the single market. Obviously they didn't really know whether we would have to leave the single market or not and in the event of a Leave vote they knew they wouldn't be negotiating exit terms.

In fact, there were plenty on the Leave side who said (based on nothing factual) that we could stay in the single market and not have freedom of movement because the EU needed our trade more than we needed theirs.

That's the reality.

When dawn breaks in the New Year and Mrs May's political pygmies are still trying to cobble together a Brexit deal to try and appease all parties, many of the 52-percenters will wake up to the calamity they have brought upon us all and there will be trouble. Mrs May, valiantly trying to protect herself from the scattergun ejaculations of 'I'll do it my way' Johnson and others, will find it increasingly difficult to control the wilder horsemen and women of the 'we want our county back' and 'immigrants out' cavalry. This will get much worse as the fangs of recession bite, interest rates go up, job prospects down, and the economy plummets. Is that why Our Lady of Downing Street has acquired that expensively tailored pair of brown leather trousers? She will certainly need them, and a stout pair of boots and a good, thick, blanket to deflect what will be hitting the fan. It's going to be fun!

Mr Strut, would you like to come and stay with us for Christmas, I need cheering up...

The link you gave is interesting in its results but even more interesting when you read that fanatic Remnant comments at the end. I'm sure some post on here.

What can the people do?

Mr. Strut will be busy clearing up after the reindeers.

John, please upload a vid of when you play Charades and it's Strut's turn.
You could also invite aurichie (who will announce that he knows there's an Easter Egg in his Christmas gift) and trevgo to peel the onions for roasting - why waste anyone else's ?

Don't forget to invite Ash-M1...but make sure you watch the Queen's speech on the Beeb...

It's from the Guardian, well worth ignoring and only believed by those simple of mind.

Nothing to do with Europe.

In the past 6 years, on average, Polish pay has gone up 23%, Germany 14%, France 11%.

The UK's has gone done 10%.

This is due to the Tories pushing zero hour contracts, temporary roles & creating an environment of job insecurity.

Bah, humbug. Go rattle your chains. Are their no prisons?

Rightio, will have to speak to Matron to see if there are enough rooms vacant, I'm sure they will be made most welcome in the Incontinent Home our motto 'Come on in and fill yer boots'

I don't quite get this.

So it's because we're in the EU that the country is doing well financially.

But it's the Tories fault that people aren't doing well financially.

Forgive my confusion, I'm a brexiter, so therefore uneducated beyond the age of 5, when I had to leave school and go and clean chimneys.

What s great idea. I'm sure Brexiters would line up to buy it if I told them it was sprinkled with stardust. I'm off to get me shovel!

The trouble is that if the "experts" are right then we'll all be worse off. Do we all deserve what we get?

It's good that we can find the laughter in all this.
Perhaps you should stay somewhere else this season though, John's Incontinent Home is filling up with some right wet blankets.

Even when it's patently obvious to any fool that the consequences will be awful?

Ever heard of the saying "cut off your nose to spite your face"?

I'm no supporter of the Tories but zero hours contracts were around long before 2010 and have existed under all colours of Parliament. The Tories have passed laws in an attempt to protect workers and zero hours is something that can only really be used by employers when there is a surfeit of available labour like we have under freedom of movement. Most people working on zero hours contracts like it that way.

All together now:

God rest ye merry Brexiters
Awash in festive cheer
The boss has pinched your presents
And watered down your beer
They've starved the poor old turkey
There's nothing left inside
The fairy's down the food bank
And the tree is looking bare
We want our country back, they shout
None of your foreign muck
Trouble is we've forgotten
How much comes in by truck
The wine, cheese and Prosecco
Do send more over to us
We didn't mean to dis you
We need you after all

Scrape,scrape,scrape ...............
