Most definitely,

Haven't a clue whats going to happen during this renegotiation phase and the next coming months or years.

Despite Osbornes speach this morning, markets and the pound have taken another battering.

I was thinking of moving house but that's definitely on hold now to see what happens

Although, of course, if people upped their spending, then any perceived or real recession would turn into a boom. There's no recession. Keep spending - it's what keeps the economy going. Although if you keep loads of cash in saving and interest rates go up, you'll be a winner. Tricky, ain't it just?

No, it would be better if you had a spare £50k to spend it on a wider range of goods and services to keep more businesses going. A large company like Range Rover can afford to absorb a non sale but a small company? You might've the customer that keeps them going.

At the moment nothing has changed immediately, unless you were cashing in shares, pensions or planning on getting your US Dollars. House Prices may drop and I'm thinking of possibly working abroad. Then returning when we're more sorted. Is it true though it may take more than two years for us to leave?

If people think recession there will be a recession,it is a self fulfilling prophecy.

Be positive and confident and the problems will soon pass.

I'd guess at 5 years or more. In 1982 it took Greenland, with a population of 52,000 (less than half the size of Cheltenham), 3 years to negotiate an exit. The only thing up for discussion was their fishing rights.

Things will be a bit bunpy for the next couple of weeks until the hysteria dies down and the dust settles.

I'm just carrying on as normal.

One shouldn't focus too much on the stock market. ..its a fluctuating mad house...It has to be in order to make money. It has to go up and then down or no one makes money on it and deliberately done so by influential individuals who will start to sell and cause a drop in value and then those very people will buy on mass again before it rises again.

Exactly...but it seems to be the way those who wanted to remain are reacting in their speculation and worry. The sterling is still stronger than the Euro...why is that I wonder? If the EU was such a powerful market why was the Euro so much weaker than the Sterling even after this so called 'crash'?

You knew a leave vote could well trigger a recession so cutting back was just planning for that eventuality. We might well end up with that recession.

The dead cat bounce on Saturday isn't lasting and many are waiting to see what happens tomorrow and then when Article 50 is invoked. It's a long and uncertain road.

My work has been affected as clients are worried about recession, which puts me into immediate economic decline which leads to me spending less so not supporting our local economy. And so it goes on.

I'd be looking closely at Italy. Their banks are now on the verge of crashing because of Brexit. The EU can't afford to bale them out...but if they don't then another will leave. I think eyes of the rest of the world are more on what the EU and how they will respond to the Italian issue as much as how Britain moves forward.

You mean maybe if we don't fuck anything up for a bit other countries will forget that we a global laughing stock? You are surely forgetting the football though?

Things will be a bit bunpy for the next couple of weeks until the hysteria dies down and the dust settles.

I'm just carrying on as normal.

First we have to have parliament to vote on this and the legislative changes needed, if they vote exit.

Then the 2 year notice period runs from time it's submitted to europe.

As you say, just that simple negotiation took 3 years, so our complex situation likely several more years.

I think economic issues would largely be kicked in from businesses pulling their investment from here, job losses leading to a downward spending spiral etc.

A couple of days market turmoil is nothing compared to longer term conditions.

How people will feel once they're subjected to the longer term conditions is something else.

The speculation is that many of the leave votes came from people who didn't think they had anything to lose. Apart from the NHS, their physical security, a benefits system. I can see all of those suffering significantly.

"The fuel price will go up 3p this week then after food prices will increase.

My spending are the same and on haribos too

You do realise the increase was going to be 2p because oil price went up? Now oil has gone down but the Dollar rate has changed. Its called 'Situation Normal'. And remind me what the fuel price was about a year ago? I doubt you complained when the oil price tanked for no other reason than there was too much oil and your fuel cost less. Well what goes round comes round ...

Care to quantify why you feel that? personally I don't know what the NHS or the benefits system had to do with the EU. And as for security we get more Intelligence from our own resources and those of the 4 other English speaking countries than we ever got from the EU. They didn't see the Paris or Brussels attacks coming did they? When was our last Terrorist attack? Lee Rigby in 2013.

We need to stop this mindset of being eternally dependent on the EU. We aren't now and we never were.

Our security services depend on cooperation with other agencies be they American or European. Can't see that necessarily changing.

Other than that not all that much will change. If we want access to the Common Market aspect of the EU then we will in all probability have to accept freedom of movement of people in the same way that Norway does. This will disappoint many of the leave voters.

In many ways we are dependent on countries in the EU and they on us in a trading sense. We like French wine, German cars and such like. Hopefully we can negotiate a good trade deal.

I do feel, however, that many of the leave camp promises will unravel and people will be disappointed.

Not that much will really change, but will get a big bill for the privilege.

This 'take back control' and make Britain 'great again' is soundbite crap and makes us look a bit bad.

Obviously I can't quantify, as that would involve seeing the future and making promises - a skill only available to Johnson, Gove and Farage et al (and then the promises are taken back once they have achieved their objectives), but I can explain my fears.

Farage has already been on record as saying that the NHS needs to be replaced by health insurance, but he currently has no power. Thank god. But the NHS is struggling already because of an ageing population, and the lack of investment (and thought, frankly) in both health and social care over many governments. If tax revenues drop (which 90% of economists agree will happen) the situation will not improve. They cannot ring fence it for ever.

My fear is that people's physical security will be threatened very soon - we are already seeing ugly racism on our streets, which could easily lead to violence. There are other ways I can conceive of the current situation sinking into civil unrest.

I think the benefits system will also have to shrink as tax revenues drop (again we are talking about the opinion of almost all economists, rather than a historical fact), particularly if IDS is anywhere near power.

I agree with your first comment. withdrawing will take some time and be a gradual process. And I think people understand that. the markets will stop being idiots and realise they screwed up, missed the coffee smell and stocks will return. Give it a week and the profit takers will upsell and go back to normal. Traders work on a fortnightly 'Account' and we just started one so all they are doing is 'making a market'.

As for access to the 'Common Market' as you brilliantly put it all I will ask is does Canada , USA, China or even Iceland have Free Movement of Labour or pay a fee? No and neither will we and whatever is arranged will be far better than have the EU control every aspect of our lives and pay for the luxury. They need us far more than we need them in trade terms and that is our Ace in the hand. Already German industry has said 'steady on chaps we don't need Tariffs'. Merkel has said 'no punishment and no nasty'. Given there are really only two contributors to the EU now Germany will say 'jump' and the EU will ask how high. Such is the power of trade.

Sorry but no one in Vote Leave forecast anything. Do please correct me but all we were saying is 'If we leave a future Government will have these options they don't have now'. And with respect it was the Project Fear of the Remain side that were forecasting doom and gloom if we voted Leave and now the markets have taken Osborne at his word and shit themselves. We didn't do that.

" Farage has already been on record as saying that the NHS needs to be replaced by health insurance"

Actually no he didn't. During a UKIP conference various funding options for the NHS were discussed and it was resolved that the current system is the most efficient. And that is UKIP policy. (I add here I am not a UKIP member).

"If tax revenues drop (which 90% of economists agree will happen) the situation will not improve. They cannot ring fence [the NHS] for ever."

Be careful about that 90% figure. The actual % was about 1.1%. Some 6,000 were asked their opinion, some 650 responded and of those some 540 said there may be a recession. So 90% OF THOSE THAT REPLIED said it not 90% of those asked. Another 'Remain' lie.

" My fear is that people's physical security will be threatened very soon - we are already seeing ugly racism on our streets, which could easily lead to violence. There are other ways I can conceive of the current situation sinking into civil unrest."

I am not sure where you can connect the Brexit vote with security. As I replied earlier.

"I think the benefits system will also have to shrink as tax revenues drop (again we are talking about the opinion of almost all economists, rather than a historical fact), particularly if IDS is anywhere near power."

OK. You make two assumptions. Neither of which is founded in fact or reason. It is opinion, a forecast. Not fact. And again you refer to the 1% of economists that responded to that questionnaire. And as for IDS he is a man who, after leaving as Tory Leader, funded from his own personal money a think tank to study and report on the causes of poverty, exclusion and upward mobility. No one was more committed to equality and more prepared for the job than IDS. ANd under his leadership more people are in work than ever before. More disabled people are in work than ever before and there are fewer families where no one works than ever before. Under IDS real, not comparative, poverty has reduced greatly. Unless you know different of course.

Sorry but no one in Vote Leave forecast anything. Do please correct me but all we were saying is 'If we leave a future Government will have these options they don't have now'.

This is based on an assumption (or as you prefer to say: It is opinion, a forecast. Not fact.) that tax revenues hold steady, which very few (if any) respected economists think is going to happen. If they dip the amount (which is not 350m anyway - that is the gross figure as I am sure you know) drops. If you have less money to invest you have fewer options.

the markets have taken Osborne at his word and shit themselves. We didn't do that.

The markets didn't shit themselves because a politician said something. They shit themselves because a load of people voted to do something that almost all sane economists who have expressed a view think is a very bad thing.

Farage has already been on record as saying that the NHS needs to be replaced by health insurance

Actually no he didn't.

I stand corrected (but this was not part of my argument anyway).

A lie? A simplification. The Leave side understand simplification. They did it brilliantly. They also lied. Sometimes they did both at the same time. This is just a simplification, it would only be a lie if there was a sampling bias, and I assume you would have told me all about it if there was one.

My fear is that people's physical security will be threatened very soon - we are already seeing ugly racism on our streets, which could easily lead to violence.

...I am not sure where you can connect the Brexit vote with security. As I replied earlier.

People are being more openly racist since Friday (the media are reporting this as fact). People who feel threatened may respond, or racist people may physically attack (they are already attacking verbally). It is reasonable to assume that this will happen sooner or later, and more freqently than pre referendum (as the levels of overt racism are rising). People being physically attacked are physically insecure (this is by definition). Which bit does not connect for you?

We have dealt with the issue of the 90% above. The IDS biography is irrelevant - whichever politician is in charge of benefits will have to make cuts if there are fewer funds available.

We voted to leave the eu, and its a big market next door, and we run a trade deficit and really need to manufacture more, much more.

And we just chose to leave and have a uncertain trade arrangement. I'm expecting eu goes for tariffs on uk goods, while we have to accept eu goods tariff free, if we don't accept free movement, which we cant do.

We may well of fucked ourselves

I've not read through the thread but I'm sure the point has been made before that this is a kind of self fulfilling prophecy isn't it?

You're worried about a recession so you've cut back on spending - hence becoming a key contributory factor in the thing you fear actually happening ...

My sister has lived in Italy for 30 years and proud to be British, never wanted or intended to be Italian but her husband suggested she may want to rethink that. She's not a happy bunny.

I retire in five months and looking to sell up and move out of London. I'll wait for a year now to see what happens and not buy the new car I was going to treat myself to.

I'm not an expert on the Italian banks but I've just had a look back in time to earlier this year when reports are out there of an Italian banking collapse possibility because of lack of capital and their bad loan situation which was a threat to its neighbours....the report also states that loan losses are being hidden in the European banking system and that the EU will be " tempted to bend the rules"......so how are we now blaming this on Brexit??...or is every issue in the world now the fault of bexit, past, present and future?
