would you favour a socialist remainer, or a far right leaver (there is plenty to pick from) as the next leader of the country?

No. I am saying that looking at what we pay in, but ignoring what we get back in GDP is a daft way to analyse the benefit we do, or dont, get by being in the EU.
Its the sort of stuff the right wing press and the right wing extremists would do to convince folk that we get a bad deal so they vote for sommet. Looks like it worked.
I think I’ve said before the analogy I’ve heard mentioned is a car boot sale . If you stop going you’ll save the fee, say £20 a week so it makes a financial saving of over a £1000 a year that can be projected . However it completely discounts the regular £50 a week you make in profit at the sale . So rather than saving over a grand you’ve lost significantly more .
If it's a better leave yes also what is disturbing is Universal credit , and the rise of food banks ......but we have the chance to leave this stranglehold of the polictical EU and just keep trade and reduce contributions and trade worldwide then yes!

In the early days of all this, I am pretty sure I posted that analogy. Or nicked it.
So you would vote for a far right leader on the basis they want brexit. the rise in food banks and the crime of universal credits lie in far right policies. You've entirely lost sight of yourself under this obsession over brexit

Probably from you mate , in which case well done
Arsed looking for it mind.
Wow, that`s possibly the toughest yet.
I think he means ( and I`m by no means certain ) that the EU Commissioners meet up once a month, at a Pontins or somewhere similar on pay day for a massive game of bingo and possibly have some kind of " names in the hat " lotto to decide the next leader ?
Following their game of bingo they all get dressed up as British Cabinet ministers, play darts and generally take the piss out of the English cabinet.
Please give him credit for the correct spellings of the words : " democratically and commissioners " as these are the types of words that he normally mangles despite the spell checker on his Ipad.

I know I heard or read it somewhere and I’ve used it loads in conversation since so I probably owe you a pint for making me look a bit smarter than I am , admittedly that isn’t too difficult.

Even I tend to pay little attention to BOE forecasts, cos I know the model they use to arrive at them. It is ALL about the data and assumptions that are inputted. At best they can signal a trend, based on modelling likely outcomes on past reality. So if interest rates were 5% 10 years ago, what happened then would likely happen again if they hit that level again.
Trouble is, we have NEVER left the EU before, so no past data is available. Ergo, its guesswork. Especially when they say things like house prices will fall 30%, They will, if the data you used caused such an output.
What they can say with 100% certainty is the future is very uncertain.
