This is a normal post Guardian more optimistic but still grasping at straws. It seems every day they have a 'it can't happen' article

This is a normal post What is there to debate?
Everything is going to be perfect soon, just like it used to be.

This is a normal post I'm sure there's some valid points there but the writing style is very grating.
I expect more from a quality news outlet like that.

Also looks like we've been naughty and flashing our knickers at other countries before the divorce is over.

Article fails to mention FTSE100 is now above pre-Brexit levels and FTSE250 has nearly recovered... £ is still down though.

This is a normal post The two things are not unrelated but
at least people with money to invest don't think it's the end of the British economy.

This is a normal post Exactly. Far too soon to understand the implications and get all over excited.
I can't quite understand the pre-negotiation panic. My missus works for Manc Uni and the departments have been told by the Chancellor that budgets will be cut because of Brexit... Seems a bit premature.

This is a normal post Expect big cuts to arts and social sciences or anything deemed worthless by crashing idiots like Andrea Leadsom

This is a normal post She's the Minister for the Environment now.
She'll be too busy slashing feed in tariffs and ignoring reports against fracking.

The real bloodletting'll happen when Art 50 is invoked.

As for the FTSE being up - well, some companies are. Others are really suffering: the FTSE simply aggregates that, and so hides big differences. Add to that the fact that there will have been people looking for a bargain post-fall (and for shares priced in sterling, there's no shortage...), and it's unsurprising that the market had a bounce.

Whether it's more than a bounce is a different matter entirely.

This is a normal post I almost put a link to that British ARM chip design company being bought by the Japanese
And how it was due to brexit devaluing the pound.
But then I never done it.
