In their analysis of who has what to lose over Brexit. It makes somewhat interesting reading.

Oh look, another opinion!

This one is from a contributor to the EU hating Uber-Capitalist rich-list addicted Forbes magazine.

Never mind, there will be a lot more 'opinions' before Bexitfast.

The government asked for advanced warming of the supreme court decision so it could make a coherent statement.

May will be addressing the country on Tuesday. I assume the Supreme court will either announce on Monday or Tuesday morning.

Then we'll get a lot more food for the feeding frenzy that is guaranteed to happen once some more concrete information has been revealed.

As to the Forbes article, it is swimming against the tide. But, remember, you said it, This one is from a contributor to the EU hating Uber-Capitalist rich-list or put another way, the people with the money who are actually going to take the decisions.

Now if I wanted to know how our economy and the businesses who drive it, are going to jump and it's a toss up between Forbes and the Daily Star, I know which one I'd be betting on.

It seems that the BOE is following the mantra and slowly doling out the news that Brexit is no longer on the A list of actions. I take this to meant that Project Fear has damaged the value of the £ so much that this is now their largest issue. Reading the statements, I pick up on certain words. Such as "pre-crisis norm". This is when talking about whether things will be heating up more or less than before the whole political shitestorm of Brexit intruded.

But there is a thought there. If the BOE is saying things are, essentially, back to the "pre-crisis norm", then their position on interest rates and QE is untenable.

One to watch.

I never said that, and as the contributor is a bloody journalist he will not be making any decisions. But yes, it is those with money who will be making the decisions, and those decisions will be to the benefit of those with money, lots of it - EU, Am'rica, World Bonk, Davos, IMF, Goldman's Socks... it matters not. Their decisions will have a huge impact on the likes of you and me and the others of the vast majority, but we will have to live with them, soak them up, clean up the mess. And don't go thinking that the Forbes crowd will be riding out to rescue us, they won't. They are part of the Forbes crowd of the super-rich precisely because they do not have a philanthropic molecule in their bodies, and as we are not part of their crowd they do not care about us.

The thing is I do not give a sod's any more. Everybody and his dog has an opinion, Prince or pauper, rich or poor, and even though they are at opposite ends of any spectrum you care to mention every single one of them is absolutely 100% sure and correct in what they say and everyone else is a moron.

I think I'll just sit back and wait to see what Brexitfast brings. I might be pleasantly surprised, but I doubt it.... I am not keen on fudge.

That's good advice. Me too.

Ah, yes, but we’ve already put the spanner in the works. None of them, not one, wanted us to leave the EU. That was our choice and our vote, the individual, not the big money.

So by voting for Bexit we’ve complicated their lives. Now it’s their turn. We’ve done something they feel powerless to stop. Now they are trying to control, manage and spin the fallout.

You say that they are going to do things we can’t control. But, actually, we’ve already done the Big One and they were left out in the cold. Now here’s the other big one. The EU is more driven by big money than the UK parliament is. So by carving out the UK from the EU, not only did we put a spanner in the works for them by doing that, we’ve also put our economy much closer to the control of the people.

Today, in the EU, if the UK votes in a radical left Labour government that starts doing stuff to damage business, the businesses go to Brussels, dump a ton of money and influence and the directive comes out. Radical left reigned in and the businesses back in control.

I see this totally differently, what we, the people, have done to money and business is not just a single vote, it is a long lasting and paradigm shift in control of the UK, labour laws, trade laws, business laws and taxation. Big money now needs to worry that the UK population votes for change and it changes. They can no longer rely on Big Brother EU to pull us back in line. Now they’re going to have to build the right lobbying structures in the UK to influence the UK government independently of the EU.

It is no surprise that big money and business is strongly behind watering down a Hard Brexit. They are trying to force a compromise that will undo the decision to leave the EU. One that leaves the UK under the control and power of the EU with the veneer of self-determination. Every time May sounds like she’s going to scupper that plan the £ plummets because the dealers see us, the people, more in control.

From their perspective, you, the voter, are far more in control than you were.

This really is quite amusing to watch..
