Nope. I'm actually proving that there are more people than last year who disagree with your stupid opinion.Gunner Rob wrote:what are you trying to prove?olgitgooner wrote:https://yougov.co.uk/news/2017/05/12/fo ... ign=brexitGunner Rob wrote:http://metro.co.uk/2017/04/27/more-peop ... t-6600264/olgitgooner wrote:Opinions, opinions, opinions.
But it would appear that about two thirds of people now support Brexit. This shift might be because people accept they were mislead by Project Fear which warned of an immediate recession if we voted leave. This shift may be because Junker and his cronies have shown themselves to be self interested cockwombles. Their behaviour has been nothing short of disgraceful. This shift may be due to people's inherent belief in democracy. I would guess the shift is due to all three factors. But that's just my opinion.
that there are even more stupid people in the country than last year?

With regards to the economics, there usually is a lagging effect on the economy. The initial effects have been the pound weakening and inflation rising, this has a direct impact on our standards of living especially as it has been documented recently that earnings are not keeping up with inflation. The pound has strengthened recently from a relatively weak base but its still a good 20/30% below where it has been over the last 5 years, that is not healthy for our economy.
Unemployment again is a lagging indicator, one of the consequences of higher inflation is people stop spending money. That hasn't been seen yet, but lets see how the brexit negotiations go before we start saying we are out of the woods, there is a recession overdue in this country now and I genuinely believe that the next downturn will be more severe than it needs to be because of Brexit.
I have mentioned on several occasions that banks will leave the city of London, taking jobs either into mainland Europe or other financial centres. That was dismissed by this forum, but its been announced and is happening as we speak. Even a few hundred jobs in each bank, amounts to hundreds of millions of pounds in lost taxation revenue.
My opinion is that the UK economy will boom when we are outside of the constrictive protectionist bubble of the EU. I also think that London will continue to be the the biggest financial hub in Europe. You can't prove that my opinion is wrong. Don't bother trying.

Re: EU referendum - I told you so thread
Hi mate, how exactly do you define unemployment though these days? If there are 4 million people on zero hours contracts for example, and they earn only just enough to sustain themselves and don't qualify for social security, then how can you compare that for example with when there was 1 in 10 people out of work during the 80s? To say unemployment is the main factor in determining the health of an economy is wrong, and naive in my opinion. GDP is a far more robust indicator as is the impact of inflation on real terms disposal income. So if inflation spikes as it has done since the referendum, and wages do not keep up we are all worse off.olgitgooner wrote:Hiya Nutty.

Have you ever worked in the square mile? Under what premise do you make that statement.
For the record I never said that London wouldn't continue to be a major world hub for financial services let alone European. But my point is, there are jobs currently done in London for example relating to euro clearing that would be lost. And we are talking about tens of thousands here. Losing that number of jobs would definitely cause a contraction in the contribution the square mile makes to the economy. There is no doubt about that. So how would we compensate for this, make more cars in Sunderland perhaps .

Re: EU referendum - Official Worst Thread Ever
Brexit has caused a sharp decline in the pound versus other currencies. We have already seen after a modest recovery that the narrowing of the Conservative lead in the election polls, the pound has come under further pressure.
So I have said umpteen times a weak currency means a weak economy, well those price rises are affecting consumer confidence now. Let's see if this is an ongoing trend, it's too early to tell but should be a concern.

PRO-EU FT ADMITS INVESTMENT FLOWING IN BREXIT BRITAIN
http://www.westmonster.com/pro-eu-ft-ad ... t-britain/
As the FT admit themselves, those clever economists all lined up to predict a decline in investment.
“But the effect has been more muted than expected” the FT now openly say, citing figures that show an increase in total investment of 0.5% in 2016 and business investment increasing by 0.8% at the start of 2017.
Foreign direct investment jumped in 2016, up £33 billion from the previous year, whilst the country is welcoming a record number of tourists to our shores.
The FT’s Editor Lionel Barber may have been awarded France’s highest honour but we very much doubt the British public are as enthusiastic about the FT’s rabidly pro-Brussels stance over the years. Wrong side of history springs to mind.

Re: EU referendum - Official Worst Thread Ever
That was 2016, you can't just post a link that says something without looking at trends. One year is not a trend. I would suggest analysis 3 years before the referendum and 3 years after to get more of an indication if Brexit has affected FDI into the U.K. The article doesn't really say anything apart from economists got it wrong, well we don't know yet because we haven't exited the EU yet!MrT wrote:nut flush gooner wrote:Brexit has caused a sharp decline in the pound versus other currencies. We have already seen after a modest recovery that the narrowing of the Conservative lead in the election polls, the pound has come under further pressure.
So I have said umpteen times a weak currency means a weak economy, well those price rises are affecting consumer confidence now. Let's see if this is an ongoing trend, it's too early to tell but should be a concern.
