The world is our oyster now and we are more outward looking than ever before! We still want to remain friends with the EU and trade with the EU nothing will change there.

That's certainly the positive spin the brexiters are trying to put on it. Frankly, that's not how I see it and not, I suspect, how the world at large sees it.

Time, of course, will tell.

I notice that now that the ftse 100 has totally recovered it's losses, the doom mongers have turned their attentions to the 250. Which never warrants a mention at other times.

The ftse250 has been mentioned a number of times and even back to last Friday it was suggested that the real pointer to look at is the ftse250

This was posted at the beginning of the week

A lot of the markets will stabilise because right now trade hasn't changed.

The true indicator will be when negotiations start and deals are made and if article 50 triggered

We have not left yet ... This was a blip which was a warning. From here now they need to get negotiating ..

Serious question, given that the referendum was on the cards the last time Scotland voted, why should they be entitled to have another vote, everytime the uk government does something the SNP doesn't like it cannot be a trigger for another vote.

I showed recently that the FTSE 250 is not in that bad shape now and better than it has been a number of times over the last 5 years, even earlier this year.
So now this cant be the harbinger of doom you will pick another one. You really are the most negtaive and depressing person, try being a little optimistic, it does good things for your wellbeing.

Do you actually read posts before replying ?

What exactly was depressing about my post -

Everyone you reply to now it's just full of insults towards them because you don't like their opinion.

Seeing as "export" means sending to another country, that's pretty much a given!
No I meant you make a good to export the constituent parts are foreign ... Meaning you incur costs to import and then pay a tariff to export... So your goods have an extra cost. But hey we can cut wages and make people work overtime without paying so we could catch that back ( sarcasm) ....

I heard the other day that any Scottish made exports that leave by an English port/airport are not recorded as Scottish exports.
Not sure if that is the case but if it is you can see perhaps why England and Wales are desperate to hang on to us.

Everything. When it was shown the FTSE 100 had soared you decided it was the FTSE 250 that mattered, the FTSE 250 is now improved somewhat so you decide to deflect your doom something else, you do it all the time with depressing repetition. You seem absolutely blind to any positive of Brexit even though you posted your support to make things work only a week ago. I am obviously a supporter of the UK being an independent country but I have admitted there are risks and costs to achieving this but I have no truck with the whinging negative attitudes going on that cannot accept democracy and constantly talk down their country. Place yourself where you like in that category.

You don't seem to get open debate where people have differing opinions and use the art of discussion to put their point of view and point out the flaws in others. You are at will to disagree with me and mine but don't expect for one moment I will not defend it if I believe it to be right and you cannot persuade me otherwise. You of course are entitled to your own views and hopefully would take a similar stance. What I find infuriating is when anyone (and I am not pointing this directly at you) is where someone suggests the opposing view is due to things like lack of education/low IQ/stupidity/age/social status/nationality and so forth. When such methods are used I will not shy from responding in the way I do.

Hope that clears a few points up, if not Hey Ho looks like it's stopped raining here ;)

When you have some proof then try again. And I assure you I am not desperate.

I'm not sure they are any more. Possibly the politicians feel that way as they are desperate not to be seen as the ones that broke up the Union but lower down the feeling of "well if Scotland wants independence then let them have it and good riddance" seems to be growing at least anecdotally from people that I speak to.

So you didn't read my post then

Did you see what Mark wrote - he said that people now turned their attentions to the ftse250 and I just pointed out that people had mentioned it and posted a previously posted link of someone mentioning it previously - I don't deflect any doom anywhere - I even said in my post that the markets are now stabilised - oh no what doom that is

Right now whenever someone posts a worry you are straight on to them dismissing their opinion - right now people are worried for their future and the future of their children - right now the positives for them are shouting out at them and they are rightly worried for the future of our nation and will say so - if you don't want to read that then just don't read the posts - ignore them. A thread was started asking the people who voted to leave what they would like to happen next and what they think will happen next - you burst into the thread again just dismissing anyone's fears ignoring what the OP was asking - you don't know what will happen next - you are not in any place to dismiss people's fears or worries

You and others need to stop throwing democracy into people's faces - as someone recently said democracy didn't start with this vote and didn't end with this vote - people have a democratic right to voice their fears and indeed fight to ensure the best for their future and if that means trying to keep us in the EU then they have that right to carry on fighting. It doesn't all just stop because of the vote - nothing is set in stone and everything is always up for discussion.
