'Twas but Project Fear, one year later

[cdlxxvi]

We can now say with 100% certainty[1] that absolutely no problem has befallen UK economy, when compared with a similarly sized Eurozone one (Germany).

Let's start with the GDP growth after Q1 2017.
Germany has scraped a meagre 2.8%, whereas the Great British GDP has skyrocketed up to 0.8%!!! In your face, remoaners!

Add to this the fact that GBP/EUR has soared from 1.30 to 1.15 and we can clearly see how Brexit resulted in not only strong, but also stable environment.

Wanna talk about inflation?
We also observe strong growth in prices, with the UK inflation successfully up to 2.89%, with German squeezed down to 1.49%.

I'm glad those numbers have helped you climb out from under your protection blanket

I seem to recall a promise of an immediate and deep recession if we voted leave and a certain chancellor claiming leaving "represent an immediate and profound shock to our economy" and that i and millions of my country men would definetly loose our jobs and end up eating our children.....honestly this was the main reason I voted to remain, but since then haven't we had growth in every quarter including some of the highest growth in Europe?

Growth is growth and we can all pick and choose statistics like the statistic that put Germanys population at 15million more and gdp 1billion more than the uk even before last year "similar size".

France for example... a country with almost identical population and gdp to the uk (but wasn't similar enough for you) had a good last quarter (still about half of the Germans) but has only averaged growth over the last year of 1.24% while the uk has had 1.6%

As I said I voted remain... but don't consider myself a "remoaner", why? because the sky didn't fall in and I've still got money in my bank, petrol in my cars and bread and beans in my cupboards.

So you may be a little early to climb up on the highest of horses for some good old fashion finger wagging your protection blanket is where you left it

Where it does have a noticeable effect is where companies are the UK market for European goods, such as the industry I'm involved in. Obviously reduced buying power and a need to keep the business means margins are tighter.

But we're still getting a fair bit of work, whether that's due to service contracts arising this year (they didn't last year) I don't know. But we're slightly ahead of target at the moment. Even though we provide a top class service and are sole UK market holders for some of our products, less certainty and keener buyers mean it isn't straightforward.

PS. I voted leave.

Pounds weakened against the euro and the dollar. Rather than the disaster this was predicted to be, it's now cheaper for people from Europe and America to buy our shit and come here on holiday.

Was up in the highlands a couple of weeks ago, I don't think I've seen so many overseas registrations before. There's usually a lot of Dutch (I think they like the novelty of mountains) but there were plenty of Germans in big motorhomes and French too.

The narrative has shifted to the economy would have grown even faster had we not vote to leave yadayada As mentioned above nothing has really changed, imports are more expensive, so all those hipster satchels from china are costing more

For people actually producing stuff, or providing a service it's better than before. Migrants are leaving because they can't work for 3 months and buy a house back home... so why bother. I'd say it's going rather well

Except Val's still here.

Does the UK left yet? Last time I have checked all predictions were if the UK actually leaves the EU.

Get back to that post when the Brexshit hits the fan.

Reality is that many of the people who voted leave were already poor and living in what the Guardian calls "crappy Northern towns". Economic benefits of the EU go to the upper middle classes and the crap goes to the working classes. How much the economy does or doesn't grow means nothing if you aren't getting a slice of that bigger pie.

Lefties should be happy. Us right wingers delivered you the peasants revolt you always like to dream of, but are never able to deliver. Too bad for you that the peasants hate you. The trouble for many on the left is that they have become what they despised the most, a wealthy upper middle class educated patronising elite, talking about the cause but not living it, out of touch with the weed smoking dream, looking down on the binman as lesser, moving to get their kids in the right catchment area while talking about better schools for all

Brexit is already doing as it intended, we have politicians talking about a commercial policy towards the likes of industry and fisheries, we wont ever get out of this national debt unless we trade our ways out of t

Rather than wasting their time, sat in the HOC debating crap like the Wales bill that should have been dealt with years ago

While we're at it, where are these politicians that will control migration? because all the ones i see in parliament are virtue signalling bellends who wont ever do it

yet we're going to arrange a trade deal on a situation where something wont be used? at least the EEA agreement pays lip service to migration control
