Thanks for the explanation.

Don't wait for me!
Can't argue with that. Sure there were some, probably 10% including some on here, that don't fall into the above categories. But it's evident, it was plastered everywhere in big white letters on a red campaign bus. Oddly though, theres no plans to re-use the campaign bus for the victory parade.

Just watched Heseltine on BBC News clip ...
Never been his biggest fan but if I was looking for someone of experience and intellect who properly understands the inevitable economic fallout from Brexit then I wouldn't look much further.
Is he wrong?

I take it this is the same Heseltine that in 2011 wanted to adopt the euro as our currency.

Nick Robinson has tweeted the two points below. It's okay because no one voted for any of these reasons. No one will say "oops I fell for the lies" but interesting. People will point towards wrong predictions about the economy happening immediately but that was always tricky to guess. The below were just made up lies. The nuance on some will be lost of course but to most sane people the difference between a flat lie and a poor prediction is obvious. It could be related to football.
I think we will lose 3-1. Prediction
If we win then I will buy messi and Ronaldo - a lie.
Now clear why Boris kept off air this week. Leave's promises - to get back £350m, to slash immigration & to have cake & eat it - all binned
To be clear I am pointing to what ministers now say about what will do post Brexit. They have explicitly rejected each of those 3 promises

Heathrow’s overseas backers have flown in the face of any fears surrounding Britain’s triggering of its two-year divorce from the EU by pledging £650m in investments for major projects..... The move by the investors follows a series of recent major investments in the UK by major global businesses -

(Also reported in the Times)
Surprising news considering EU airspace may well become a no-fly zone when we leave.

Yeah, I think it's inevitable that immigration and customs processes will take longer given that we're exiting the agreements that allow free movement and trade. Don't get me wrong, I'm not suggesting that there will be multi hour queues or anything silly but I am trying to make the broader point that there are going be things that we will miss. May is entirely wrong when she says that we will enjoy the same benefits outside as we did inside, it's clearly bonkers to even suggest that, right?

A small subsidiary office to deal with some of the 10% of their business which is with the EU. Hardly even worthy of being a news item, really. Just a bit of common sense by Lloyds really.

Not really. You can't blame individual sectors for fighting their corner, don't forget about us etc.
I would think following the money/investment is a better indicator.

c. £100m of GDP disappearing... Agreed. It is just a drop in the ocean.
Not even one third of the WEEKLY Brexit dividend...?

I think it's safe to say that Lloyds are canny enough to make sure £100M doesn't disappear. Just an indication that business (and life!) will carry on post Brexit. No idea what your fantasy Brexit dividend is all about.c. £100m of GDP disappearing... Agreed. It is just a drop in the ocean.

What worries me is they have two years to sort the agreement on customs AND then find the money and then build the necessary infrastructure and recruit and train the staff. Cloud cucko land.
Just about to post the same story, here is the Auntie link (and so it starts........sigh)
