What the Heck Now?

Right guys back to work and time to turn this all into an opportunity. The stock market falls will give you a chance to buy great British companies at a huge discount just as we did after 9/11 and the credit crunch...but first we kept selling...so buy slowly gradually. Pick the biggest ones. Panic usually means overselling and an opportunity for those on the ball.

Next up...businesses. If you’re an exporter or have the potential to export, cancel everything and start looking at how to export the hell out of your products. For overseas buyers they are at a 10 percent discount to last week already.

If you’re worried about your job now is a great time to take your destiny in your own hands. Revisit that CV just in case. Don’t wait you know the competition is. Modern job search sites make it easier than ever...who knows with fewer immigrants you may be in more demand.

If you’re disillusioned working class fed up of no opportunities, don’t forget all the government programmes for retraining and reskilling. Use them before just in case there are big cuts. Hopefully there won’t be. But use those benefits now.

The experts who we hate predict a recession so save your money...good advice in all times not just these.

And look the pound is at a 30 year low, so scrap the foreign holiday and holiday in Britain instead...maybe Yorkshire...lovely folk weather is always good that way you help the country too.

If you’re an overseas investor...you’ve got once in a lifetime bargain low prices because of the exchange rate...buy when others are fearful remember. If you’re big enough, hey takeover the whole company. By investing here you secure more British jobs so thanks for that and then you can export cheaply globally. We still have the best talented skilled workforce.

And if you’re a foreign visitor...come pay us a visit...you’re money goes a lot further here now...and we still have Buckingham Palace and Trafalgar square Theatreland and London Bridge.

Got it. Back to work.

And for all those people who think democracy is about the losing side being quiet and then calling the losing side whingers and whiners…let me give you a lesson in democracy and history. Every single election in this country has resulted in a losing side.

That side never then joins the winning side to do their bidding. Indeed, in Parliament itself the losing side are Her Majesty’s Loyal Opposition. They oppose they are vociferous and they do not go quietly into the night. Ours is an adversarial democracy not a passive one.

We have every right to fight including civil disobedience. Including exercising our free speech, so don’t tell us to shut up...we are the ones, the fighters and not the quitters, the loud not the quiet who make a democracy.

And if the results were the opposite I would have been proud of any Brexiter to have opposed and fought. The day you lose the spirit to uphold democratic traditions of opposition, and exercising your free speech you really will wish you could have your country back. Fight on.
