Nope. The Wallonians are celebrating and say they were listened to.

EU TRADE SHAMBLES: Belgium admits CETA may NOT go ahead despite eurocrats' crowing

The crumbling agreement will only be applied provisionally and will face a make-or-break challenge to its legality under EU law as part of a deal brokered with the tiny region of Wallonia.

The shock admission was buried deep in a statement released by the Belgian government today, in which ministers in Brussels revealed they are finally ready to ratify the signing of the agreement.

UK’s creatives worry Brexit will stunt performance

"In a report detailing the concerns of film, TV, publishing, media companies and cultural institutions about Britain’s future outside the EU, the Creative Industries Federation said the sector was one of the “powerhouses” of the economy. Exports rose by 49 per cent between 2009 and 2014, it said, compared with 30 per cent for UK industries as a whole.

“Creative exports including books, film and television, from Adele to Harry Potter and Downton Abbey to Sherlock, are the UK’s calling card to the world,” the CIF said.

But its continued success was predicated on a delicate mix of factors including accessible export markets, a robust regulatory framework, the ability of highly specialised companies such as video games makers to recruit from overseas, and funding for research and regional development, much of which comes from the EU, the report said.

The federation made a plea for the government to engage with companies ahead of the triggering of Article 50 — the formal two-year exit procedure that Theresa May has said will begin by the end of March 2017."

Proof Britain's booming after Brexit vote: Economy drives ahead after EU Referendum :woot:

Britain’s Gross Domestic Product defied the warnings of Project Fear to rise by 0.5 per cent in the three months after the historic decision to cut ties with Brussels, according to the Office for National Statistics.

The surge exceeds expectations of many City experts and contrasts starkly with predictions of recession from George Osborne and other supporters of the UK’s membership of the EU, including former prime minister David Cameron and Bank of England governor Mark Carney.

Funny, I got to the page directly from a Google search and was able to look at all the underlying data and trends and go to other linked pages but the link shows a paywall:confused: Can't be a very good one though. :D

Anyway even 0.5% growth is far better than project fear's 1% contraction.

Re: Post-Brexit Thread
 

Yes and it wasn't just the numbers was it, it was the deliberate, calculated use of the most alarmist rhetoric like:

Anyway, the future of Brexit's looking even more on the up as May unveils her secret weapon to get the job done:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-37797127

Odd how now he's out of office he's keen that the voices of those on the losing side 'must not be ignored'. I don't recall that being his policy during his tenure at no 10 especially when he backtracked on his referendum promise. In fact he didn't even listen to the people who did vote for him most if the time.

It says great deal about Blair's mindset and grossly inflated ego that he still believes ordinary people will still listen to what he has to say on matters such as this.

Re: Post-Brexit Thread
 

Seeing as project fears predictions are unravelling faster than a ball of wool in a kittens claws another referendum would have a much bigger majority for Brexit IMHO.

I turned the radio off this morning because that liar has nothing worth contributing. He should be in jail, not being indulged by the anti-Brexit BBC.

Re: Post-Brexit Thread
 

We'll see what happens to the economy but up until September anyway we were in a holding pattern. At the moment we're still in the EU, we can still trade easily across Europe. Pretending Brexit has already happened and it's now fine is delusional. We'll see the real impact once we know what is actually going to happen to various industries.

As for what people think now then let's wait and see what people think when the drop in sterling filters though to prices. Inflation is already rising. Sterling is down 20% now. That's a massive hit to anyone who imports as part of their business and for consumer goods.

Re: Post-Brexit Thread
 

It's also a massive boost to anyone who exports, or manufactures for uk consumption against competition from cheap imports.

Currency devaluation is never a one-sided equation, especially not when the value of the currency has been too high for too long.
