40-60 billion is the bill UK is to be charged (according to Sky News)


600 Billion is the cost to the EU/UK of Brexit in total.


Strangely the Arab Spring and the China Property bubble and US data quality issues

cost 600 billion - it's a standard figure people use I think :)


.. and UK public sector pension liabilities 600 billion - what coinicidence

We're definitely still getting that thought right? I mean, it was on a bus. A bus wouldn't lie.

Because now they have to look for ways to justify their vote and it's proving increasingly difficult and frustrating to do so.

I'm sure if given half a chance they'd 'metaphorically' behead us. I'm getting the feeling of what the French Revolution might have felt like.


Oh dear, I said "French"



I must be a traitor to the cause "Stop Talking sense"


*CHOP*

But you remainers are missing the bigger picture. Just think of the opportunities once free of EU rules:


Curly bananas weighed in pounds and ounces

Peckham Rye vineyard Champagne sold by the pint

Forest Hill fungus-free Roquefort matured for 24 hours

East Dulwich GM truffles harvested from Goose Green

Herne Hill spam prosciutto


There's money to be made for our Brexit-liberated entrepreneurs

Something i read today,,


Italy per capita income no higher now than 18 years ago (yes Eighteen!)

Output is the same level as the early 80s

The economy 7% smaller than in 2008

The population is 1 million higher


youth unemployment is now at 48% ( no wonder there 200,000 young italians in London - including my cousin's kids)


EU (or more specifically the Euro I guess) can cost a fair bit for some

    • We also just used Paul and his colleauge Damien to replace some fans, fix loose kitchen light, and check smoke detectors.  Straight forward, skilled and very decent guys.  Even tolerated some heckling from the kids.  
    • Went past yesterday there was one man skating. It was a good use of a derelict site, but hopefully it won’t be if Southwark Council  and Dulwich estates sort it out. Compulsory purchase anyone?
    • The younger (and some older) people have taken an unused unloved space and made it their own. Where do we think young people should go? I was involved in a campaign with a group of younger people a few years ago to get a skate park built. I was so shocked by the backlash and nastiness from a vocal 'adult' few. The young people themselves said that they are told they shouldn't spend all their time on screens and yet when they come together and do something that is physical that involves socialising and positive connection they get slated for it. The skating community is so welcoming and supportive. Come on people - see the bigger picture and the positives. They've made a good place to be out of nothing - they are recycling and building and being creative and social and entrepreneurial. I suggest we reflect on what the real issue is here. Have a look at this -   
    • A beer in the garden would have been nice, I'm sure! Mine was a meal inside. I don't remember much about it except that it was horrible.
