I'm sorry to tell you that, following the Brexit vote and fall in the
value of sterling, the British economy fell to 6th largest economy in
the world.

Do you really think that was because of the Brexit vote? So nothing to
do with fact that Osborne's creature at the Bank of England signalled
even lower interest rates and more money-printing (reminiscent of Weimar
Germany)?

The truth hurts the Brexiters I see.

The problem was that there was too much made up rubbish for the average
person to work out what was the truth and what was the reality, so they
(quite reasonably) ignored it all.

If everything that the treasury told us was true, where's the punishment
budget?

I assume that I don't need to explain the story of Peter and the Wolf to
you?
