    Whelp the elitist politicians and media were wrong. Surprise, surprise. The British people have gained independence and the economy is fine.

    “Brexit boom: The five charts which show Britain has escaped an economic apocalypse” proclaims the headline, and the opening lines say it all, “Unemployment is down, prices are steady, shoppers are confident and the government ran a budget surplus in July. The first economic data for July – the month following the Brexit referendum – was published this week, and shows no signs of an immediate economic collapse.”

    I read other pieces that showed economic indicators are strong in other areas such as construction.

    Remember when Obama threatened to put trade with Britain to the back of the line if they voted to leave... hah what an (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*), I wonder if that's Clinton's stance as well.

    Time for America to vote America nationalism. #Trump2016

    Huh? The UK wont leave the EU for at least 2 years! Now looks like the earliest won't be until after the next election. Also the link in your article does not state that the economy is fine but states that it won't be as bad as predicted - a huge difference to your conclusion

    BTW : The pound has dropped %10.

    Yeah... Farage must be a happy man. First he spent 20 years in the EP getting a good salary for doing nothing but insulting Europe, The EU and Europeans. Then he managed to convince enough people to leave the EU and when he succeeded he left his party. Now he has 20 years of EP salary, a parliamentary pension and no responsibility going forward. Even better... He has become a darling of ignorant American right wingers who are eating up his bull(*)(*)(*)(*) and will make him even richer.

    What a world...
