The "leave" propaganda I saw was really outrageous. Like that red bus and the advert with the poor old mum going to the heartless EU clinic verses the caring British clinic. The "stay" stuff I saw was more like, "hang on a minute, there are a lot of issues to consider here..." Maybe the "stay" stuff was equally manipulative and I just missed it.

I suppose if we go by the nomenclature of the debate and call the stay stuff for "Project fear", the out stuff could be called "project dream". Non of them were overly realistic. The difference now is that it's easier to thumb at the dreams that won't come true, than the fears that fail to deliver.

In the end this referendum was Cameron's plot to quench the right wing eurosceptics of his own party, while for the leavers it was a stab at destabilizing Cameron so that they could manoeuvre themselves into a more favourable position. If you remember Johnson's waffling around in the beginning ("let's get out, so that we can renegotiate a better deal for our selves"), it's bleedingly obvious it wasn't about EU for his part. Neither was Cameron unambiguously pro-EU. Had Britain remained and the exceptions he achieved been implemented, the "free flow of people" the EU holds so sacred would be markedly affected for all EU states.

When you read the economical forecasts (positive and negative) they talk about fairly small margins of economic change (>5%). The drama of this referendum is vastly overblown. What this really is about are the dreams: The dream of the "ever deeper integration" on one hand and the "Oh England, my Lionheart" on the other. The economy is going to shuffle on regardless.

Brexit latest: How is the UK economy doing?

By Tim BowlerBusiness reporter, BBC News

http://www.bbc.com/news/business-36956418

The UK may have decided to leave the European Union on 23 June, but what this will actually mean for the country's economy, housing and jobs markets will only become clear in the ensuing months.
Here we highlight the latest developments following the vote.

Economy

Keeping Britain's membership of the EU single market could boost the country's economy by an extra 4%, the Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) has said.

Housing
IMAGES
The UK housing market is continuing to slow after the Brexit vote, according to a survey by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (Rics) with a significant slowdown in price rises in the three months to the end of July. Though Rics also says the market could take off again over the next 12 months.

Jobs
.
One of Britain's biggest banks, Lloyds, has accelerated its job-cutting scheme,axing a further 3,000 posts and has doubled its planned branch closures - but says this decision was taken before the referendum.
Meanwhile, other firms have announced new jobs since the vote. Pharmaceuticals firm GlaxoSmithKline is to invest £275m in the UK, saying the country remains "an attractive location" despite Brexit.
McDonald's is to create5,000 new jobstaking its total number of employees in the UK to 115,000, but says "challenging economic conditions" remain. And London financial services company Tullett Prebon iscreating 300 new IT jobs in Belfast.

Screwing up research funding seems bad. Some years ago NASA funding was severely cut, putting a lot of researchers out of a career. Research work often goes on over many years so you can't switch jobs easily.

I think the UK should have planned ahead for how various research groups would carry on if the UK were to leave the EU.

THE BREXIT HANGOVER JUST GOT WORSE

Those who supported a departure from Europe are only now coming to terms with the crippling economic realities—including the fact that many didn’t quite understand the rules and the whims of their neighbors.

There is nothing to give us confidence that anyone in the U.K. government fully comprehends the reality of the situation. After all, the government minister in charge of Brexit, the aforementioned David Davis, only realized in the last few months that it would not be possible for the U.K. to forge individual trade deals with different E.U. member states. As an old debating partner of mine—we have shared many platforms on civil liberties—I hesitate to be too brutal about Davis’s failure to grasp that E.U. countries cannot make discrete trade deals. But, frankly, it beggars belief that he lived for so long under this illusion, and that these wildly optimistic fantasies weren’t challenged.

Belfast rights campaigner begins legal challenge to Brexit

Raymond McCord, whose son was killed by UVF, takes case over peace process concerns

about 18 hours ago

http://www.irishtimes.com/news/crim...er-begins-legal-challenge-to-brexit-1.2753149

A campaigner for the rights of victims of the Troubles has launched the first legal challenge in Northern Ireland to the UK leaving the European Union.
Raymond McCord lodged papers at the High Court in Belfast on Thursday seeking a judicial review of the British government’s move towards Brexit.
His lawyers claim it would be unlawful to trigger Article 50 of the LisbonTreaty without parliament voting on the move.
They also contend it would undermine the UK’s domestic and international treaty obligations under the Good Friday Agreement, and inflict damage on the Northern Ireland peace process.
With similar legal action already underway inEngland, efforts are being made to secure an initial court hearing in Belfast next week.

If Britain were to lose access to the single market, or British-based banks were stopped from trading freely in Europe through the “passporting” arrangements with the E.U., it would take very little to end the City of London’s reign as the de facto financial capital of Europe. In fact, Britain could pretty soon be broke on account the enormous tax revenue the City produces.

Maitland Chambers
Law firm Maitland Chambers was the first to present a lawsuit in court. Further hearings in this case are set for October.
Maitland Chambers' senior barrister Dominic Chambers says that, contrary to popular belief, the new U.K. prime minister -- Theresa May -- does not have the legal authority to trigger the nation's formal exit from the EU.
That can only happen once members of parliament approve the move, he argues.
The Maitland Chambers case will be heard together with another related challenge by law firm Mishcon de Reya.
A decision is expected by the end of October. Any appeal would go directly to the Supreme Court.
1,000+ barristers
More than 1,000 lawyers across the U.K. recently signed a letter to remind the prime minister and members of parliament that while the results of the referendum must be acknowledged, they are not legally binding.
They are calling on members of parliament to vote on leaving the EU before making a final decision.
However, no formal legal action is expected to follow this letter.
And while many lawmakers do not believe Brexit is in the nation's best interest, it's hard to see them ignoring the referendum result.

Targeting Leave campaigners
Barrister Anthony Eskander at the firm Church Court Chambers in London, said he is considering assisting clients with a criminal case against the individuals who led the campaign to leave the EU, asserting that they misled voters with broken promises.
He expects these individuals, including former London mayor Boris Johnson, could be found guilty of misconduct in public office, which would be a criminal offense.
However, the case could take months or years to wind through the courts and would not necessarily stop the government from triggering an exit from the EU.
Regardless, he told CNNMoney the case would still be worth pursuing because campaigners should be held accountable for their "propaganda".

The expat challenge
British citizen and World War II veteran Harry Shindler, 95, argues that hundreds of thousands of British citizens living abroad were denied the right to vote in the referendum, which should nullify the referendum results.
Anyone living outside the U.K. for over 15 years was denied a referendum vote.
Shindler, who has been living in Italy since the early 1980s, said the fact that he was denied a vote was arbitrary and undemocratic.
Shindler has exhausted his legal options in U.K. courts, but his challenge is now being heard by the United Nations Commission on Human Rights, he said.
The U.K. government has already rejected a petition calling for a second referendum, signed by more than 4 million people.

Treasury to guarantee post-Brexit funding for EU-backed projects
Philip Hammond expected to commit to billions of pounds of investment, including science grants and agricultural subsidies

http://www.theguardian.com/politics...ee-post-brexit-funding-for-eu-backed-projects

The Treasury is expected to continue its funding beyond the UK’s departure from the EU for all structural and investment fund projects, as long as they are agreed before the autumn statement. If a project obtains EU funding after that, an assessment process by the Treasury will determine whether funding should be guaranteed by the UK government post-Brexit.
Current levels of agriculture funding will also be guaranteed until 2020, when the Treasury says there will be a “transition to new domestic arrangements”.

Brexit could be delayed until end of 2019 - because of GERMAN AND FRENCH elections

BRITAIN may not leave the European Union for at least three years - because of delays caused by next year’s German and French elections.

Senior sources have warned Prime Minister Theresa May may postpone her activation of Article 50, which will spark two years of formal negotiations before Britain officially withdraws form the 28-country bloc, until the end of next year.
The PM was expected to kick-start the process in just five months. Her postponement is set to infuriate Leave voters who expected a prompt start to proceedings.
A City of London source said next year’s parliamentary elections in Germany and France, set to take place next September and May respectively, is expected to delay Mrs May’s decision.

Brexit Forces Opel To Cut Production Of Second Best Selling Car In Britain: Report

Opel, sold as Vauxhall in Britain, is slashing production at two of its plants in Germany because nobody in the UK—its biggest market—has any money after that damn Brexit vote, The Financial Times reports.
We suspected that Opel would pull manufacturing out of the UK after the Brexit vote, but now it looks like it’s pulling back manufacturing in two plants in Germany as well—one in Eisenach and one in Russelsheim. That’s where the Opel Corsa hatchback, the second best selling car in the UK, is built alongside the Insignia sedan.

Sir, The Bank of England has taken action “to cushion a looming Brexit-induced downturn” (August 5). This “downturn” is entirely speculative. “Brexit” hasn’t happened yet. Nothing substantive has changed yet, nor will change in the near future. The UK is still in the EU, and remains in the EU until the end of the Article 50 process, which hasn’t even been invoked. The result of the June 23 referendum was simply a vote to leave the EU — that was what was on the ballot paper. The date of leaving is well over two years ahead, and the conditions of the UK’s future relationship with the EU (and the rest of the world) are still completely undefined, let alone implemented. So why the eagerness to predict a near-term downturn?
Of course there’s uncertainty. Uncertainty is a normal part of business life. There’s as much uncertainty, or more, over oil and commodity prices, or general elections, or certain countries’ territorial adventures. None of these seems to cause panic about downturns long before they’ve happened.

British politicians helped fuel a steep rise in racist hate crimes during and after the EU referendum campaign, a UN body has said.
The committee on the elimination of racial discrimination said many prominent politicians should share the blame for the outbreak of xenophobia and intimidation against ethnic minorities.
It said it was deeply concerned that the referendum campaign was marked by divisive, anti-immigrant and xenophobic rhetoric.
“Many politicians and prominent political figures not only failed to condemn it but also created and entrenched prejudices, thereby emboldening individuals to carry out acts of intimidation and hate towards ethnic or ethno-religious minority communities and people who are visibly different.”

Although the UK is the seventh richest country in the world, many people struggle to afford food.

In 2012-13, the Trussell Trust foodbank network, an Oxfam partner, provided over 350,000 people in the UK with food parcels - more than double the year before.

Oxfam and Church Action on Poverty estimate that over 500,000 people in the UK are now reliant on food parcels.

Over 2 million people in the UK are estimated to be malnourished, and 3 million are at risk of becoming so.

36% of the UK population are just one heating bill or a broken washing machine away from hardship.

1 in 6 parents have gone without food themselves to afford to feed their families

"People at the upper end of the income scale have no idea of what's going on down at the bottom of the scale. They don't realise how much people are really hurting."

“What goes on in your mind?” sang the Beatles in 1965. It’s a question we’ve been given cause to ask of some leadingBrexiteers and the media megaphones of the Leave movement in recent days.
We’ve been told by some of them that there is zero evidence of any kind of hit to the economy as a result of the British vote to leave the European Union. Yet we’ve also been informed that the economic damage since 23 June is a result of malevolent “Remoaners” talking down the economy.
We’ve been assured that the financial markets have responded with perfect calm, even enthusiasm, to the referendum result. Yet we’ve also been lectured that the plunging pound is nothing to worry about but something that will actually benefit us by enhancing the competitiveness of our exports. Strangely, some of these obviously incompatible arguments have been put forward by the same individuals.
But actually the cognitive dissonance goes much deeper than the short-term response to the referendum vote.

Even Winston Churchill poops on Brexiteers.

Mr Winston Churchill speaking in Zurich
I9th September 1946.

I WISH TO SPEAK TO YOU TODAY about the tragedy of Europe.

http://www.churchill-society-london.org.uk/astonish.html

The first step in the re-creation of the European family must be a partnership between France and Germany.
In this way only can France recover the moral leadership of Europe.
There can be no revival of Europe without a spiritually great France and a spiritually great Germany.
The structure of the United States of Europe, if well and truly built, will be such as to make the material strength of a single state less important. Small nations will count as much as large ones and gain their honour by their contribution to the common cause.
The ancient states and principalities of Germany, freely joined together for mutual convenience in a federal system, might each take their individual place among the United States of Europe. I shall not try to make a detailed programme for hundreds of millions of people who want to be happy and free, prosperous and safe, who wish to enjoy the four freedoms of which the great President Roosevelt spoke, and live in accordance with the principles embodied in the Atlantic Charter. If this is their wish, they have only to say so, and means can certainly be found, and machinery erected, to carry that wish into full fruition.

Tesco in dispute with Unilever over price rises

Popular products including Marmite and Pot Noodles have been disappearing from Tesco shelves amid a dispute between the supermarket and supplier Unilever.
The row developed when Unilever, which faces higher costs after the fall in value of the pound, attempted to pass them on in higher wholesale prices.
Tesco said only: "We are currently experiencing availability issues on a number of Unilever products."
"We hope to have this issue resolved soon," the company added.
However, it did not indicate when that might be.
Sterling has dropped by 16% against the euro since the UK's Brexit vote.
Unilever is the UK's biggest food and grocery manufacturer with many famous brand names.
Household names

Among those currently absent from Tesco's website are Marmite spread, Surf washing powder, Comfort fabric conditioner, Hellmann's mayonnaise, Pot Noodles and Ben & Jerry's ice cream.
