It's so easy to attack what people perceive as the elite members of society but some of us are just workers ants who do not influence the economy and I, for one, do put a bit of store in statements made from bodies such as the CBI, which states:

"The impacts of a no deal are vast and will impact every region and nation of the UK. From the South West of England, to the North East of Scotland, businesses are telling us a no deal would be a disaster for the UK economy, for businesses and for individual livelihoods."

Happy to read any other statements for and against, of course (and there will be statements against). We need more than knee-jerk prejudices, sweeping statements and anecdotes to inform us if we are open-minded people. The economy cannot be sustained by slogans.
