[Politics] Brexit

[Lincoln Imp]

I'll raise you post 25476, and posts on the page before it. I was having an exchange of views with two other posters, one of whom asked me directly if I thought BJ was fit for purpose, which wasn't really relevant to the 'conversation' - and then you waded in! Admittedly, I did mistakenly think I was replying to one of them - the one who couldn't spell Eton! - in post 25479. But it certainly wasn't me who brought BJ into the debate.

Nor me!

Can we close this thread and get back to footy now we have had the vote

If this was a football match, we've only just kicked off.

If you compare their growth forecast for 2017 from before Brexit to today, they're saying that the economy will be an eye watering £6.764BN SMALLER than they originally predicted. That's 100 quid per person in a single year, with the poorest being hit the hardest.

usual tosh, misrepresenting numbers, with the personal GDP effect and whats that, 0.2, 0.3 lower GDP different? reality is the forecast is slightly smaller, well within the margin of error, and double the post brexit fear.

 

[Mellotron]

Much better than the 0.6% initially forecast which was jumped on by all the remainers as a sign of the impending catastrophe. By the way Carney doing his best to get himself out of that particular hole. 2% also much much better than the EU can expect in 2017

really? this really has to be said again? fine, suppose it's probably my turn

keep on saying it, it doesn't wash. why did we have all the portents of doom that the affect would be immediate, the slashed GDP for end of 2016 and 2017 etc? why do you think you can claim doom tomorrow, then when tomorrow comes, say its still doom tomorrow? bottom line is the analysts and economists have reviewed their outlook, and dont believe leaving EU will have as much affect as they did.

What a beautiful day.The air already feels so much fresher today,as we move a bit further down the road away from the corrupt swamp that is the EU.

Are you sure that isn't dogshit.

No, it really doesn't.


But if you can't help yourself.........................................just please do it across and not down so as not to completely waste so much space!

No, it's definitely the corrupt swamp that is the EU.

Why not? The Jehovah's Witnesses have been doing it quite happily for years!

FOR HOW LONG EXACTLY, sounds apocalyptic if we take all your doom and gloom

GDP is not income/wages, so going from GDP to loss of income per head is ludicrous.

So that's about £8.40 a month then. Two quid a week to get out and stay out of the EU. Sounds like a terrific bargain - count me in! Where do I sign up?

From paragraph 2.1 of the white paper

"whilst parliament has remained sovereign throughout our membership of the EU, it hasn't always felt like that."
