Well, Did We Go Bankrupt Then?
It’s almost three months since we ignorant white oldies destroyed the United Kingdom by taking it out of the EU. What a price would be paid. The stock market would crumple, the pound collapse, the economy go into a spiralling recession, business confidence disappear, house prices plummet, and a plague of frogs infest Hampstead.
Of course it was only because we racist dum-dums, too stupid to make up our own minds, “believed Boris’s lies” that we had voted out. Meanwhile the people of Notting and Primrose Hills were far too smart to believe Boris. Instead they believed the lies told them by Osborne, Cameron, Lagarde, Carney and the Brussels pygmies.
So, what’s up? Just about everything as we move into Doomsday + 90 days. The stock market’s up. It’s booming. The pound, after an initial swoon, is doing rather well. House prices are strengthening. Business confidence in the UK has just had its biggest one month jump ever, unlike in Germany and France where it is collapsing. And Mr Carney has admitted that the Bank of England was making it all up when they said there was going to be a recession. Poor old Little England is actually the best performing major economy in Europe. But don’t expect to read that in the FT, Guardian, or Economist, the Pravdas and Izvestias of the Remainers.
You might also note that, unlike our EU friends, the UK has a determined and popular Prime Minister while France, Germany, Spain and Italy are either run by deeply unpopular leaders (France and Germany) or no leaders at all (Spain and Italy). Compared with the narcissistic chaos of the EU, the UK is an island of political stability.
