Gove wasn't just observing it; he was celebrating it. He was gleefully piling wood on a bonfire of enlightenment values.
1/ Yet another famous person trying to defend objectivity attacks Gove on the basis of a misunderstood misquotehttps://www.newstatesman.com/politics/staggers/2017/09/david-attenborough-brexiteers-probably-dont-understand-facts …

Full quote said “organisations with acronyms” right? Doesn’t make clear it’s about economics at all. Science orgs use acronyms too, I hear.
-
with respect that's not right, if you look it up he refers to CBI/IMF etc who made demonstrably wrong forecasts (as with REF vote)
-
if you think their forecasts are wrong re: ref vote, how will the UK economy perform following leaving the EU(and single market/customs u.?)

Gone right off u DA. What would have happened circa 1914 and 1939 if we did not have rising nationalism. You're a bit of an elitist Dave.

When nothing negative happens in years time these people who told us we didn't understand (too thick) won't be forgotten or forgiven
-
That's a deal! But I demand the converse. If there ARE negative impacts from Brexit, you lot are walking to Canterbury on your bare knees.
-
That's fine by me
-
So how long do we have to wait at there's plenty of - ve at the moment? Falling pound, inflation hitting, stagnant wages, etc
-
They promised immediate recession, i.e. economy shrinking. People voted anyway. 4 Qs of recession needed to shift opinion
-
Yep the immediate recession that didn't happen, rec employment, rec low unemployment, investment, manufacturing out put high, FTSE flying
-
Forecasters projected their own assumptions & labelled them "impact of uncertainty" to cover lack of real explanation for stark negativity
-
Humans prefer to crack on with things if they can, its better for them & their family. Forecasters projected we'd all be paralysed with fear
