I don’t think anyone on here has suggested that. At all.
Of course some good news is occurring. Not all industry is going to grind to a halt. But one would have to be blind and deaf not to realise that Brexit is causing massive disruption to commerce.

Regulations also change our relationship ...... now do we get the chance to veto them or have a referendum on them ? Ahhhhhh ......

How many times have remainers posted about positive things in the economy? Before the referendum and in the campaign many here and elsewhere told us that we would be in recession if we voted to leave etc.
It also applies the other way, in the interests of fairness. I believe we are all too entrenched in our positions to really listen to one another.

Er, however accurate that tweet from Gove, it is right in this case isn't it? Or would you like imports that the EU themselves consider unfit for human consumption?

As I said earlier and you ignored, I don't ever recall anyone saying that you can't go on holiday after Brexit.
Maybe you could show us 'the sad sack' where this was said ? Because I'm sure you wouldn't have made it up
You seemed to allude earlier that I was not sure where I was going or how I would able to get there, if you’re looking for sad sacks have a look in the mirror.
On our way.

Your post would hold some water but for the phrase 'all European operations will move to Japan' in the press information. Which will obviously include their operations in Belguim ..... who aren't leaving the EU.
As much as I was just having a bit of a giggle with my comment, the fact remains (no pun intended) the employment figures are from a time within the EU.
Where as all the projected closures are post Brexit.

Remainers told us many times that all these things would currently be in full swing. In fact, as I said before, project fear told us that we would be in a full blown recession. Personally i don't believe the remainers, but then neither do i necessarily believe leavers projections either.

Not long now until the collapse. Utterly defeated by Putin and the 'Airstrip One' 'Atlantic Bridge' wreckers.

Two different things. That article correctly points out loss of national sovereignty was a by product of joining the EEC - a fact impossible to disagree with ( although a few remainers on this thread still deny we lost any sovereignty ! ). What we're talking about is the cover up of the 'ever closer union' once we had joined. Something Ted Heath absolutely has admitted was not spoken about so not to scare people into voting leave.

1. Ted Heath wasn't PM for the 1975 referendum. He wasn't even leader of The Tory party.
2. 'Ever Closer Union' is mentioned on page 2 of the 1957 Treaty of Rome. - https://ec.europa.eu/romania/sites/romania/files/tratatul_de_la_roma.pdf
Did Michael Foot, Tony Benn, Enoch Powell et al not spot this this blindingly obvious fact then when campaigning for a 'no' vote?

There isn't any form of Brexit where we hold all the cards, it is now blindingly obvious that this has not been the case over the last 2 and a half years.
Trying telling that to the 20-30,000 people that are going to effected by the Honda closure

Strictly-speaking, you are right - the UK will be able to pick and chose what trade deals it wishes to sign. The reasonable worry is that in a post-Brexit real world, having put the current 98 trade deals it has as an EU member in the bin for an indeterminate period, the country will be seriously on the back foot. Our criticisms of the emirs will have to be muted... we'll have to think carefully before floating our boats in the south China Sea... foreign policy will be compromised by economic neediness. And on the question of food quality and animal welfare... https://www.sustainweb.org/news/dec18_us_chlorine_chicken_sanchez/
