Because Remain were whiter than white eh?

'Publishing Treasury analysis, [George Osborne] said a Leave vote would cause an "immediate and profound" economic shock, with growth between 3% and 6% lower.'

'That Immediate Brexit Recession - UK GDP Growth 0.6%, Best In Developed World'

> predicts Gross Domestic Product would grow by 3.6% less than currently predicted. In such a scenario, it suggests sterling would fall by 12%, unemployment would rise by 520,000, average wages would fall by 2.8% and house prices would be hit by 10%.

Sterling fell by pretty much exactly 12% (that's got to be luck though - no way their models are that good).

All the others were wrong though, you're correct.
