If business decides to wait until it knows what is happening it will never make another move. The result will be it will create exactly what it fears.
Everything that happens has the potential to be an opportunity to seize or a looming disaster. Sometimes a positive decision to do nothing can even be the right thing. But just sheltering in your burrow until all the foxes in the world turn vegetarian seems a pretty fatal option for a rabbit.
If business didn't want a referendum it shouldn't have voted Tory. Surely all these far-sighted businessmen who think they can now predict economic chaos should have worked out it would be a pretty close-run thing? Or is it that they were like the traders buying into the pound on June 23 because they thought they could make a killing and ended up crying into their caviar?
And now I'll say something you'll think really stupid. If the Govt chosen the word STAY instead of remain I think they'd have won. Remain gave them in. Who wants to stay in when they could have all the excitement of going out? Words matter and this is another part of a campaign the government ran disastrously from the start. Why on earth did Cameron allow himself to be portrayed as this brave British knight going out to battle recalcitrant Europeans for our right? Sheer self-importance? Heaven forfend! He should have been looking forward to discussions with all our friends. Friends we view positively. Remain gave us negative images and statements throughout.
However hard, or not, Corbyn had worked it wouldn't have made a difference. Cameron and Osborne planned this, got every aspect wrong and ended up losing to Iceland. But isn't this exactly what we voted for at the last election?
