I have heard from so many people (old and young) how they are depressed after BREXIT. Like actually depressed and upset, not just making stuff up.
The government was pushing project fear so hard about the consequences of leaving the EU, and now we have left the EU people have been propagandized to literally feel like they are going die or something.
The majority of these people don't usually follow politics and are not well informed.
I live in the most leftist city in the UK, so it might be more prominent here.
The propagandists really did a number on the UK public.
>muh project fear
the UK now has to renegotiate all of its trade deals. It has likely gained nothing and lost a lot. We have no government and will not for some time. Most large scale investment in the uk will halt untill such a time.
its fairly bad.

not an argument
>>79320450
They literally called it project fear. Most of it was clearly propaganda.
>>79320450
>the UK now has to renegotiate all of its trade deals
And?
>>79320450
>It has likely gained nothing and lost a lot.
God you fucking idiot.
>>79320450
>We have no government and will not for some time.
Short term and expected, not even worth bringing up.
>>79320450
>ost large scale investment in the uk will halt untill such a time.
examples
>>79320450
>its fairly bad.
Nope, just re-adjusting after leaving an increasingly authoritarian beurocratic mess.
>media throwing out a week of doom stories
>political elite still squabbling over scraps of power
>the same shit that caused this mess
Its more pathetic than sad mates.
We never wanted to be part of the integrated EU
We have done nothing but fight the EU integrators for 40 years
We only ever wanted to trade with our neighbors and friends on the continent
They ignored all the warnings, we squandered all our chanced to help from within
Brexit was always going to happen at some point

If the referendum happened at a point where non whites were a large enough percentage of the population we would have remained.

>They literally called it project fear.
that was the scottish one.
>Most of it was clearly propaganda.
so was most of the leave campaign.
The amount of lies used in an arguments defence doesnt make it wrong or right. Only the truth does.
>examples
siemens literally just froze all investment. As did my employer.
>God you fucking idiot.
name something we gained. Keep in mind that there is no way we are leaving the EFTA.
>>79320959
>We never wanted to be part of the integrated EU
we asked three times to get in.
>>79321135
That is /pol/ retoric
The facts are that the UK offers better living and working standards than the entire UK. This is why we are a magnet to the ENTIRE EU, not just the 3rd world
Its why we NEED migration controls but the political elite dont care and dont listen because they dont have to live with the consequences

its not looking great now for manufacturing in general now.
>>79320201
>and now we have left the EU people have been
We havent even left yet, we havent even declared article 50, and probably wont until 2017 now.
>I live in the most leftist city in the UK
You live in Cambridge?
Look, the implosion of Deutsche Bank is going to make Brexit look like a fucking fart at a tea party.
Strap in lad.
Lads how does a run way at heathrow cost £18bn. When did we reach the stage where quoting billions is regarded as fine

I voted Leave, was your typical Brit/pol/lack and felt depressed the night before when it looked like we weren't going to win. But when I woke up the next day and saw we had, even I had a bit of a fucking meltdown. It was genuinely scary - I was walking around, expecting to see chaos and panic. Couldn't understand how people were taking their kids to school, mowing their lawns, etc. I'm an idiot, I know, but project Fear was real. Can't understand feeling depressed now though, I'd have thought a temporary fear followed by realisation that it's okay was most normal.
>>79321861
Well I hope it picks up soon for you.
>>79321861
>its not looking great now for manufacturing in general now.
Why would that be also?
>>79320201
>and now we have left the EU
We haven't even yet, which is what makes it kinda more entertaining
>>79322132
Perhaps it was a sense of "the battle begins"? Project fear certainly did wreck a lot of normies post BREXIT.
>>79322152
thanks. Just getting mild life remorse here. Should have gone into civil engineering, less risk careerwise.
>>79322200
couple of reasons. First the margins are quite low in manufacturing. We import petrol (in dollars), steel, machines and just about every other material. All we supply generally is design (huge, why most investment happens) and labour. Pound slump against the dollar hits this very hard. secondarily UK manufacturing's competitiveness is based largely on deregulated access to the single market (78% of our manufacturing goes there). Its one of the reasons its less competitive than the continent. We do less automation and more hiring operators.

Speaking of non whites was you aware that out of the 850 MEPs in Brussels representing over 500 million people from 28 countries only 9 are non white. And 5 of those were British so now that leaves only 4! The Blacks would probably be happy we voted out of that white man Club.

>Pound slump against the dollar hits this very hard.
For buying materials from overseas I presume, in the long term this should pick up. Still just a few days after the result, we are experiencing the fallout from traders etc who were betting on remain. Volatility was expected.

Functionally speaking the EU is not necessary for this, the only issue that could arise from leaving the EU is the bureaucrats attempting to smite us because we left. If they were really interested in make a good form of government that benefits people within the Euro-zone they would give a good mutual tariff free trade agreement. But as Mogg said https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=89-XMjFHu-E , it is a very political union and we need to take a stand

Sikhs confirmed for bro-tier
>>79320201
Wew, lad go read a book.
>>79322626
Being in your business, you are very much caught in between the crossfires, which I have some sympathy with. You need to trade with other people in Europe etc and all of these bureaucrats get in the way. Our government does need to facilitate this in the coming months/years. But there is a larger issue here.
>>79322626
Also doesn't all this green energy shit hit hard on UK industries? Competing with places like China on steel is pretty impossible without protectionism. And the EU is pushing the whole green energy agenda. If your margins are tight, decreasing energy costs would be pretty good. Fracking when?
>>79323379
Sikhs have been pretty brilliant, even from a British nationalist perspective I think they should be treated with a lot of respect given our history with them and the general basedness of their community when compared to other non whites. They don't stab us in the back so much.
