Yup. I don't like her political sensibilities, but I definitely would.

Despite starting with "god no" I don't think you've actually refuted what he's said there mate

Then you don't understand economics and I don't have the desire to teach you.

Piled the pounds on a bit her 5 million populated country will not vote for independence- also the extra weight seems to have gone on her backside as she talks through it enoughlol

Debate him in economics so I don't have to.

I'm disappointed tbh Joey, I've been waiting for a really good argument from any of them, but not one, not one decent compelling reason why we should stay. As you say it's all moaning about 'it'll be too hard, what about the Germans, the pound has devalued, etc etc' ......oh and my favourite, we'll be in recession, no ifs or buts, we'll be in recession by the end of the year.....

A single market
A stable currency
Established global trading relationships and agreements
Freedom to move around Europe, live and work in Europe
Greater human rights
A greater global presence
Peace and shared security
Ability to shape and influence Europe in the 21st Century

Versus

A plummeting currency
Economic uncertainy
No agreed trade relationships
Lack of freedom of movement
Social division and increasing racial tensions
No future influence in Europe

There is no argument, and when asked questions like 'does Europe impact The UK's ability to trade globally?' we get flip flop answers.

This is not a locker room discussion on who is the bravest, it's about what's best for our country and our future. Don't ever think just because you want to leave Europe you have the monopoly on ambition and the desire for a greater, wealthier, more successful UK because you don't.

Just checked in case I was seeing things, yep you definitely didn't.

The fall in sterling is probably for the best. The markets are pricing in a loss to the treasury in tax caused by a hard brexit.

However once it is priced in it will strengthen May's hand because we have taken our medicine and they haven't.

That should allow us to drive a hard bargain and any compromise would probably cause a boom.

Seriously at this point no one knows how things will work out. It will be bumpy but with the problems in the EU that is less risky than staying.
