[Politics] Brexit

[daveinprague]

In a panic? hang on to the fantasy that everybody else is in the shit, and not the UK.
Six months to go. Nothing achieved. Nothing.

Just to clear this up for those who still want to post lies about the UKs' relative growth rate (and the sky is falling because we voted leave), the UK has never, since the referendum, been bottom of the G7 growth table.



However, what is interesting is that huge drop in GDP 2nd half of 2017 for France/Germany compared to Q1/Q2 of 2018. Can you image if those figure were for the UK? Poor old [MENTION=15360]nicko31[/MENTION] would be uncontrollable. Might be thinking we're in the EURO again.

Sorry, obviously if it's a nasty dig, that means you must be one of those who knows what it is your asking for with the WTO 'no deal'.

So what do you think we should do about the US, New Zealand and Brazil turning down our quota requests already ?

And what proportion of the WTO do you think will find issues with our submission over the next 90 days ?

When do you think we should start building the border and customs posts in Northern Ireland ?

And how much lead time will we need to build the lorry parks at Dover and the other ports ?

When should we start on the requirements analysis to start building the IT systems to run the new WTO rules and Tariffs ?

How many extra customs staff do you think we will need and when should we start recruiting them ?

No hurry for answers, we have until 29th March




*edit* cue that chap who has given up posting on here and doesn't for days at a time 'We are going to implement WTO but we aren't going to have any borders or customs'.

Definitely taking back control

Stop it Watford. You're scaring yourself.

Scaring himself again. He needs to find a dark room and go and lie down somewhere.

So you are one of these people asking for WTO 'no deal' without any idea what it means. I was right first time, but thanks for the confirmation

(And I'm in the garden, thanks )

Enjoy.

You forgot about the planes being grounded.

You forgot about the planes being grounded.

Could you try and concentrate for more than 90 seconds and maybe try one thought out, considered post?

I really, really don't like having to call people swivel eyed loons, but you're really not helping me out here

 

[Machiavelli]

I'm not. Couldn't care less. If I'm getting called names I'll take it as a compliment. Just pointing it out. Have a nice evening.

The names complement you; they’re not a compliment

 

[Hampster Gull]

The deflection of blame from the leave voters is despicable but luckily everyone sees through it #itisyourfault

It’s primary school stuff. They put us in this mess and haven’t got us out of it. The lead protagonists have done a runner and now their band of (merry) men are pretending t has nothing to do with them. Simply pathetic

I see our great Governor of Band of England pointing out some home truths. Understated as ever as you would expect from someone in his role.

 

[nicko31]

I'm not quite sure why there's so much excitement about the revised GDP figures. They don't really paint much of a bullish picture of the UK economy and the source article actually concedes that a no-deal Brexit would be very bad news.
I think the reality is that

a) our economy is trundling along somewhere at or near the bottom of the league table;

b)these are 'lag' indicators (rear-view mirror) and have no predictive validity;

c) we enter a period of almost unprecedented economic uncertainty with a creaking economy which will have low resilience to any major shock


My advice: move on and look at the road ahead.

There's little to celebrate

The reality is Brexit has left households £900 p.a worse off. Just because because the economy didn't collapse after the Brexit vote, it doesn't mean it would be painless for struggling families.

Seems there are some smug leavers on here on defined benefit pensions who clearly don't give a sh1t. I'm alright jack...

Takes a lot of stick, has done a good job through a difficult period. Not easy being a foreigner is a such a powerful position in modern Britain these days..

Has this been posted on this thread? I found it very interesting and pretty scarey. Thoughts ? (assuming you have the time and inclination to listen, it’s long)

Some of the Tory right would do well to invest a hour of their time and get their heads out of the sand

And how do you work that out . I'm better off

So why do you think he would want to spin anti Brexit for the sake of it?

He did at the start and was proved wrong. Can't take anything he says seriously as he took sides. A more neutral stance might have given him some leeway but to side with Cameron ruined that.
