Off Topic OLOF's political thread

It was good of the little Millwall chappy to start another Brexit thread for us though.

Nice chaps the Wallies. I may start shopping at Walmart to say thank you.

 

Given the thread title the brexitears should be posting the word sorry.

 

you had your chance to increase the bet and had no bottle.

 

Go on call the brexit voters racist again.shame on you.

 

And you have your chance now...

 

No need. Its the only reason you had for voting brexit.

 

Like you and 20/20 I'm not an economist,have no idea and don't care.

 

Read back your comment biggot.

 

Is this a new plan? If you only bet on things you know about you wont be having any bets.

 

20/20 you were right in post #140.
Whats welsh for irony?

 

bored now and not getting into this again we won you lost

 

Coward...

 

I think we won that round Glory

#Brexiteersrunningforcover

 

We will win every round from here on.

 

I can see this is an emmotional debate and people aren't letting information get in the way of their views but some of the latest data shows that there are fundamental issues with the UK economy that have nothing to do with BREXIT
Low productivity
Poor skill level and education
High debt
North South divide
Over reliance in some regions on funding from the EU, Wales and NI

There are some BREXIT items
Low share value of UK based companies since June 2016
Reduced investment
Increased business uncertainty

The main observations are that the United Kingdom is facing challenging times, with Brexit creating serious economic uncertainties that could stifle growth for years to come. Maintaining the closest economic relationship with the European Union will be absolutely key, for the trade of goods and services as well as the movement of labour. Macroeconomic and fiscal policy can and should continue being used to support the economy, both during and after the exit negotiations. Future prosperity will depend on new reforms to improve job quality and boost labour productivity.

So it looks like a poor situation is only being made worse, due to uncertainty, caused by BREXIT but like it or not trade and labour mobility with the EU is key for the UK

Good luck

 

Yes Eric, those fundamental problems are not new news and to be fair they are not due to Brexit. They apply whether we leave or remain

The main impacts of Brexit (good or bad) will obviously come when we do exit.

 

The impacts of Brexit are mainly future: but it's interesting how the tone has become more pessimistic recently. The Telegraph is a right wing rag who mainly support Brexit and always support the conservatives. Here's tomorrow's headlines on brexit - not very good reading:

'British jobs will be moved abroad by end of year

Army could be sent to patrol uk borders if Brexit 'no deal'

Merkel and Macron toughen up EU's 'lenient' Brexit guidelines

David Davis had a cunning plan for Brexit. But I fear we may have spotted a flaw'

 

It has always appeared strange to me that a vote on leaving without a full picture of the implications was a leap in the dark. Perhaps a two staged approach would have been better

1. Do we want to find out what leaving means
2, Now we know do we want to leave.

 

Guess both campaigns are guilty of not providing the full picture. Think they tried, but the emphasis was more on persuasion rather than facts. Which is Politics 101, sadly.

 

Well, we are gradually doing 1, not sure if we'll get the chance to do 2.
