Brexit is the 'firing gun on a decade of disruption', report finds
Brexit is the 'firing gun on a decade of disruption', report finds Not sure about the wording of the headline (copied from Sky News at the time of writing) http://news.sky.com/story/brexit-is-...finds-10710800 Quote:
Britain is on course for a "decade of disruption" in the wake of the vote to leave the European Union, a report has warned. Brexit has delivered a "profound shock" to the UK's political and economic order which is likely to damage growth and living standards until 2030, according to centre-left think tank IPPR. Quote:
The report said the upheaval comes at a time when Britain's rapidly ageing population threatens to put new strains on the state, with the funding gap for adult social care expected to hit £13bn by 2030-31.
It said: "Brexit is the firing gun on a decade of disruption. "Even as what we do and how we work changes, the UK is likely to remain trapped in a low growth, low interest rate decade driven by demographic shifts, productivity trends, weak investment, weak labour power, high levels of debt, and the headwinds of a slowing global economy. |

Life is inherently disruptive. The well known phrase involving omelettes and eggs comes to mind.

Would this be the IPPR that gets funding from the EU and one of whose former directors is Will Straw who led the remain campaign.
I am sure they have no vested interest here! |

The people who can't cope with change are the remainers.

The people who can't cope turn to Brexit. They must be desperate.

Oh dear, the Remainers seem to be getting more and more desperate. It's time to put on your big girls' blouses (or the male equivalent) and accept that we WILL leave and the sky won't fall in and the word won't end. For your own mental health stop with the doom and gloom.
A Happy Brexit New Year |

Ten years of post-Brexit disruption? It's possible, who knows, but what we do know is that the referendum has split the country and there is very little prospect of reconciliation. Perhaps deep-seated phobias have been revived, perhaps latent prejudices have re-surfaced, perhaps we are not the great and good people we thought we were. Perhaps we are no different to everybody else and the referendum has been a lightning-bolt shock of reality for a UK that has been living off its glorious past for far too long. So perhaps ten of disruption may just be the start of the next chapter in our history and we may as well get used to it. In the meantime at least the naked lies and mischief of the Leave campaign have been exposed and a good thing too. If the truth hurts then so be it.
Now, let me see, how many stand up fights/arguments with people on the subject of our Exit from the EU have I had? errr none. I really cannot see anyone having a deep seated phobia about the EU and/or Brexit. Latent prejudices? don't think so. And, as far as I can recollect the only lie is the £350million for the NHS, unless of course it proves to be true. |

By then we will be down to someone getting the sack from a chip shop in Nuneaton - which will be linked directly to not buying enough Irish potatoes post-Brexit and the new regs of the British fishing industry.

Another report where experts present themselves to possess the powers of predicting the future.
In medieval times they'd be called something like soothsayers or clairvoyants. What would they have predicted if Brexit went the other way? Prosperity, no recessions, no more wars, full employment and free money for all? |

What so many people don't realise is that Brexit a good, natural, democratic outcome. It's part of the healing process.
The firing gun was triggered by past Prime Ministers burying the UK so deep inside the EU in the first place, without the consent of the British people. |

![]() I might have voted Remain if I had been promised a free Unicorn it is one of a few outrageous things Osborn and Cameron didn't say. |
