Yeah I'm kinda hoping people more knowledgeable will discuss this sort of thing. I'm biased against the Telegraph but also know so little about economics that I have no idea. It reads as an attempt to give weight to the many 'popular' voices that say "look it's not nearly as terrible as you said it would be, haha egg on your face, it's totally fine" (be it brexit or trump or privatisation or climate change) which automatically gets my back up because I'm naturally risk averse and think a little caution isn't all bad. So back to bias.
It still is shit though, right? -
What about the ftse100 and the record levels of investment from overseas? Eh? Stick that in your experts pipe and smoke it.
Oh and you're not allowed to mention a weak pound, otherwise you're talking to down UK Plc. But it doesn't matter anyway because now we can get back to focusing on exporting manufactured goods.
All jokes aside, this is such uncharted waters and as no one knows what Brexit is yet I don't know how anyone can think they can predict the effects (positive or negative).
At least Micheal Fish knew what "the weather" meant.

^Thats bollocks, all the predictions were based on Cameron immediately issuing A50 which he swerved and dumped on his replacement. The bizarre lack of Brexit effects might be because we've not yet brexited. The Telegraph is totally committed to the leave side and this type of disingenuous horseshit is typical.
