What does it matter? What will be will be. Once Britain is properly out of the EU, the Labour party will go into decline. People will be so wealthy that socialists will lose their appeal.

Why give the miserable naysayers any more negative fodder, they are expert at making things up. Let them continue to revel in their fantasies which have mostly been wrong.

Why are you so sure the studies done by/for the government will be negative? Wasn't it all supposed to be Project Fear, lying to the public to make us vote to stay in the EU? These were never supposed to be made public, therefore they should be accurate, right?

Seems you think the naysayers were right after all.

Why do we bother having a government at all if they're just going to make decisions at random without any planning? I hope you don't manage your own money this way.

The question is why is this piece appearing in Mercopenguin, a British government propaganda organ supposedly devoted to America, South America and the “South Atlantic”?
