''support or deny the success of Brexit ''

I am supporting the idea that what we were told by many, including our own DC government, that it would be Armageddon for the UK to leave the EU was, and has proven to be complete and utter nonsense - it is as simple as that.

We are where we are - not in the EU

''I cannot recall anyone mentioning mass unemployment ''

''Leaving the European Union would tip the UK into a year-long recession, with up to 820,000 jobs lost within two years, Chancellor George Osborne says.''

''But Boris Johnson dismissed the study as "more propaganda" from the Remain side which he claimed was "rattled".''

''that once all european workers had gone''

There are millions of people from the EU now living in the UK

sp
Unfortunately for the EU, not enough people left the UK - they are short of workers

sp
''it was clear that once all european workers had gone that we would have lack of workers hence people dying outside hospitals''

ffs - EU nationals had a choice - to stay in the UK or leave.
People dying outside hospital because of the UK leaving the EU?.

I haven't a clue what point you are trying to make.

You mentioned a bounce from a low.(EU exports)

The ftse at over 8,000 would not be described as a bounce from a low, it would be described as a record high (same as an EU export description).
A bounce from a low in EU exports is just that.
UK exports to the EU are at a record high.

wan
''a bounce could equate to a record high''

you mention a bounce from a low.
I mentioned that it was a record high

''I hope our exports to the EU persist, at least at current levels.''
That will depend on economic circumstances

''Your example of the ftse 100 was just silly.''

NO - FTSE at over 8,000 would be a record high - I don't call that silly

888
so a 'last minute' guess from DC1.

I simple responded to someones enquiry many weeks ago and afterwards from that, A1 decided to have 'guess the divi'

wan
''And how do you know it's more than a bounce from a low?''

a bounce from a low does not equate to a record high.

would an increase in the ftse 100 to over 8,000 be more than a bounce from a low - yes it would be a record high.

wan
you mentioned an exchange rate - I mentioned a change to the economy due to raising interest rates (both sides of the channel) resulting in a slowdown/recession

wan
''Why are you linking these statements to one of my posts''
''Some of this years rise could be a rebound from last year. ''

because I was not talking about a simple bounce from a low .
I wanted to show it was more than that - at a record.

wan
there are always going to be economic circumstances that can hit trade -
Increasing interest rates are designed to slow things down , maybe the increases required to bring down inflation will cause a bit more.

wan
''Some of this years rise could be a rebound from last year. ''

Exports to EU are at a record level.

''Costing billions and billions in lost trade''

more ballax from you.
UK exports to EU at record level

''the consequences of leaving''

The French not having enough staff for the number of travellers has NOTHING to do with the UK leaving the EU.
Travellers from the UK wee always identity checked as we were not in the schengen area

ww
''about the French not spending their tax payers funds on services that will benefit the Brits''
''request for funds to expand the area for French border checks.''

The French at the end of 2020 said they were hiring 600 further customs people

sp
''also soon a visa is required''

visa to visit France - what nonsense.
A visa is to live and work there.
