    Yet another analyst ...

    You are confusing quantity with quality here. Anyone daring to mention that perhaps Brexit won't be the supreme disaster that hysterical acne-ridden man-child Guardian journos say it will be is automatically labelled a bigot, a racist or just plain wrong.

    And if it's one thing your average (and they are all average) analyst hates doing is holding any sort of position that requires any level of thinking beyond a quick look at Twitter.

    To finish, I'll do some analysis of my own: Canalys are talking rubbish and should be simply ignored. I could probably spin this out into an article with equally stupid stats in it if you like.
