You want some good news? Around £1m of Tottenham’s money for Victor Wanyama will find its way to Celtic, which will offset some of the economic impact of this morning’s news. This aside, there is only bad news. If we want to buy footballers priced in euros (or anything other than GPB) they will cost more money. We will also have to pay higher wages to be competitive with European clubs.
Goods will cost more – it will start today with fuel and travel, then food, electrical goods and everything else. Wages will buy less (not just less-able footballers). Borrowing repayments will be higher. Business expenditure, wages and employment will drop, so will the tax take – and money available for welfare spend. The poor always pay the highest penalty.
If you are rich enough and without a mortgage you can indulge in flag waving all day, happy in a delusion that self-determination even remotely exists in modern economies. Or that more self-determination over here, and a little less over there, is a panacea. It’s not, it’s just another economic crisis coming your way soon.
The entire political class have failed us. Calling a flag waving referendum was a grubby attempt to hold onto power by the prime minister; this mess is his making. Whoever succeeds him will have to successfully pander to the same party membership in order to get elected.
Jeremy Corbyn’s mealie-mouthed campaigning was an embarrassment. His “7 out of 10” backing for remain did what it was supposed to do: convince people he was going through the motions for something he didn’t believe in.
Who’s ever heard of a leader winning support for an issue he is prepared to back 7 out of 10 himself? He should go, but political ego will ensure he’ll hang around to make sure Johnson wins the next general election.
It took six days for the Greek government to abandon their own disastrous EU referendum mandate. Instead of attempting a rescue, all our political ‘leaders’ will give us is more populist power grabs. It’s already underway.

Sorry – Macanbheatha.
Thought I`d just nip on to C.Q.N.this morning to find out the state of the Celtic Nation.
Only to find that the sky`s falling in.
Doom , gloom and dire predictions .
Wailing and gnashing of teeth.
You`d get more certainty about the future from an astrologer
Well.
The smart British people decided that they no longer wished to be ruled by an incompetent self serving bunch of Brussels bEUrocrats and took the appropriate steps to see them off.
How is it possible that most of us who recently celebrated the anniversary of independence of another European nation can be so mealy mouthed about neighbours who wished to do the same thing and are unable to understand the depth of feeling behind this vote ?
I have huge confidence in the ability of my fellow Brits to accept whatever challenges lie ahead.
They have faced far greater challenges than this in the past.
I give you Junior Campbell
Hallelujah Freedom

He was indeed a fine person,progressive,forward thinking and very intelligent.
I’m sure you remember during the Save Moore ST campaign last year,a mural was painted on the hoarding around the houses which was wrongly attributed to Banksy.
It was indeed the work of our own MacanBheatha,

Banksy would have been proud of that, in my opinion.

Your dad is looking very well. :)
RIP MACANBHEATHA
May Good Bless you and those you leave behind.
Apologies

Condolences to family and friends of Macanbheatha…
you wished you voted yes
Voting yes was the better option now we know what happened next that is today
If we knew leaving the eu was in the pipeline 2 years down the road it would have been a yes for sure in 2014
People have been well screwed over by posh club political ambitions in the Tory party and the incompetence of the rudderless Labour party
Like some posh boys drinking club it was all game a game that boisterous Boris realises has now got deadly serious
The Europeans are right they have been held hostage by Tory party in house politics.
I don’t expect them to be too friendly and obliging when it comes to actually making a deal that suits the brexiteers of course the right will blame that on proof johnny foreigner had it in for em
I salute Scotland for voting remain it reflects the country’s global maturity about the matter. I do hope this becomes Scotland’s time as and independent nation within the european union of nations
Today
My wife who happens to have brown skin was asked on 2 occasions today about how this will affect her because she is an immigrant. Little do they know she has been a British national since 2000, has never claimed a penny in benefits and has worked for 16 years.
Watch the Great British brain drain now we have created uncertainty in the UK
(Note: The Leavers always referred to Great Britain and not the UK say it enough you know what I mean)
I liked being a European I thought we had a lot more freedom with that gig csc
In association with the Scots appeal for re eu integration csc
Ashamed to be a UK citizen tonight we voted for a little Britain
Rest In Peace Macabeatha.
RIP MACANBHEATHA and condolences to his family and friends.
Saint Matthew’s and the Short Strand, Belfast is the poorer for the passing of a hero of mine.
Macanbeatha RIP
DD, No problems, I had two weeks of solid sunshine and great times with the family, especially my Old Dad, he is looking well and enjoying life. Hope we can catch up next time. Big season ahead
Zbyszek
I guess we’ll be meeting up later this summer? Maybe catch a catch a game also.
MOONBEAMSWETDREAM
I would like to endorse MacJay’s sentiment and that of your own. This is no time to be carrying on an argument on the blog. I think we all respect MACANBHEATHA too much for such indulgences. I’ll be happy to take it up with you at a more appropriate time. There’s far more that unites us than divides us.
AR
Your dad is defying the age process. Lovely gentleman.
I look forward to my new seat on the halfway line in North stand upper.
Where we used to stand in the Jungle, except much higher. :)
Next time buddy.
EDB
I propose a mini hootenany, when our Polska pal is here.
Hope all well in your treatment.
God bless you.

“There is far more than unites us than divides us” …. TOSB so true
A sad night for CQN, but more importantly gone but never forgotten…..
Fellow Celtic fans god night and God bless and be glad what we have
Good night and God bless
ELDIEGOBHOY
Yes, of course looking forward to seeing you,my friend. I’ll be there between Sept 8 and 13.
DD spoke with Oldtim67 yesterday. Hootenary if I’m allowed to prepare something typical Polish.
MACANBHEATHA RIP
May perpetual light shine upon you.
Joe Bo
Thanks DD
Had a long session of chemo today. I’m good and generally don’t get too troubled with side effects.
Anyway might be better out of it after today.
