Think I'll take the words of an informed economist over that of a fear driven remainer thanks.

You'll take the word of an economist if it's one of the few that is saying that Brexit is a shining star. If it's one of the DOZENS of economists who have stated how disastrous Brexit has been / will be, you're happy to ignore them and bleat that the "public has spoken!". Snooze.

You constantly keep implying you know best - It is an opinion nothing more.

The difference in opinions between the experts demonstrates that no-one knows anything as fact and that all 'forecasts' are based on the 'opinions' of the experts. No-one can say with any certainty that one group of experts know better than the other - as usual it comes down to opinions not facts.

Please quit the playground tactics - you are wasting your time.

If you truly believe this, though, then why say:

Surely you should be saying something like, "Another encouraging opinion about Brexit". Because as you say, it isn't news, it isn't something that has happened yet. At this point it's just speculation and - as you have said - speculation goes both ways so is largely meaningless. The only thing that will be "news" (good or bad) are the real facts and figures post-Brexit in a few years time. As things stand currently, the pound has taken a massive blow and has yet to recover at all. It MAY recover. It may go on to thrive again. Until something actually changes though, there is no "news".

Then why not put a question mark at the end of the title. Your header implies its factual, not speculative.

How do you calculate your economists up? How do you know which are the dozens and which are the few? Can you name then, have you got a graph?

Minford is being heavily criticized by other economists. I'm going to read up on this later because it has to be read and understood from all sides.
