Current Affairs EU In or Out

[Joey66]

I think The only major economist who backs a no deal Brexit has some interesting things to say about manufacturing and agriculture in that scenario.

Again its about opinions most farmers were for out on the vote....

Stop making stuff up to suit your narrative, any actions they took had no bearing, they admitted they'd got it wrong, none of this it didn't happen because we did this and that what you are now claiming, maybe you should apply for a job doing their PR.

It's direct from the mouth of Andy Haldane. He might have been lying of course, but I'd believe him over those in the government any day of the week.

Hes supposed to over at the EU today showing them how to Google....lol

3.05 train from St Pancras Joe. Quite snowy in Belgium I understand.

I wish you wouldn't do it to yourself Joe, but Britain has had the 4th lowest economic growth in the EU - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_European_Union_member_states_by_GDP_growth - ahead of only Belgium, Italy and Greece.

How did the Eurozone perform Bruce your like a politician anser the question the answer is -
Rolling coverage of the latest economic and financial news, including new growth figures from across the eurozone

• Breaking: Eurozone growth rate has fallen sharply
• Italian economic growth has fizzled out
• Introduction: Eurozone growth figures released today
• France grew by 0.4%

Growth in the eurozone has slowed to its lowest level in over four years, as the region’s recovery runs out of steam. Eurozone GDP only rose by 0.2% in July-September, down from 0.4% in April-June.

I often try to empathise with the Brexiters on here, but to begin a sentence with this:

and then to conclude it with this:

is a truly impressive lack of self-awareness.

Perhaps the surest sign of just how unserious the notion of Brexit has always been is that the people who fancy themselves to be the responsible Brexit types, the ones with the Big, Bold Ideas and Swashbuckling Vision - @Old Blue 2 et al - have never once stepped in to dissociate themselves from word-slurry like this, and to set the record straight.

The Bank of England (BoE) was highly criticised for its prediction of a dramatic slowdown in the wake of the Brexit vote when the economy bounced back to being one of the best performing economies in the developed world.
Before the EU referendum, BoE governor, Mark Carney also warned of a possible “technical recession” if the UK were to vote leave.
Comparing the Brexit forecast blunders to when British weather forecaster, Michael Fish, dismissed the possibility of a hurricane in 1987, he labelled the misjudgements as a “Michael Fish” moment.

They won't be able to afford the grit to melt the snow when we leave so make the most of it.......

Yeah mate but the highest profile economist that backs a no deal thinks it’d decimate the industries,. this bloke thinks it’s a good idea and a price worth paying , the one JRM quotes. Not Brexit by the way , a no deal Brexit .

We're not leaving the euro, as we were never in it, we're leaving the EU. I'm not really bothered what the eurozone does as it's not relevant.

 

[Joey66]

Can you please define 'Project Fear' ; as opposed to factual information which shows the direct effects of leaving the EU.

Project fear was sent in a £9 million government pamphlet before the vote it never happened my house price has not gone down etc etc no one knows what will happen if we ever leave that is.......

Micheal Fish couldn’t do things to try and prevent a hurricane though could he ? Did the b of e do anything to prevent the predication after it happened?

Referring to the series of forecasting errors before and after the financial crash that brought the economic profession’s reputation into question, Haldane said it was “a fair cop” and blamed the failure of economic models to cope with “irrational behaviour”.

Thank you for posting that in super large letters. Just for your clarification, your actions are the irrational behaviour that he spoke about

I hope we remain in the EU then Joey because any crap deal will be worse than that, much worse, you've got MP's gathering trying to take no deal out the equation though passing laws on it, the only trump card we have left, the EU and Barnier must be rolling about on the floor at just how bad we are at this stuff.

The EU are known for caving in at the 11th hour but we continue to not only shoot ourselves in the foot, but blow the last leg off we are standing on.
