Are you saying the effective withdrawal of NHS services for 2 years might have an impact on people's long term health?

We need to withdraw more NHS services.

That will allow us to stop keeping serious ill (often old) people alive for so long when the treatments are very expensive and have diminishing returns.

Ah, so this goes back to the primary error with National Insurance: insurance against living past 65. The plebs weren't expected to take up the offer on a regular basis.

But the IMF predicted a growth of 3.2 (later updated to 3.6) % growth for the UK for 2022 when it actually turned out to be 4.1%.

I'd be more convinced by something off the actual IMF website than fucking youtube, btw.

There's also a massive difference between a slowing of rate of growth compared to a recession which is actually the opposite of growth and is a contraction.

Russia's economy has been hit badly by the war, of course it will recover and rebound quickly, thus very high growth percentage. Look at Japan and Germany after the second world war.

Nothing to do with Brexit, more a case that you don't really understand what the numbers actually mean.

My statistics lecturer said that anyone who tries to express a trend as a change in rate is trying to pull the wool over your eyes.

Such as making a nice downward pointing chart of change in rate of economic growth over time when the economy is still growing.

The interest rate hike has done wonders for my premium bonds. I've had a 4.5% return in the last 12 months. Tax free.

Choked on my tea today listening to LBC radio: UK supermarket chains limit tomato sale less then two items per person.

ROFL here people

There is no tomato crisis in the EU.

Here is a picture of the tomato stand of my local small 2000 people vilage German supermarket in relatively poor area:

Most of the people in the UK are wondering where these shortages are. They certainly aren't a feature in Wiltshire.

The idea of bleeding Germany through charity donations does have a certain appeal. Sure, send all you can afford. No, more than you can afford just so we can join in with the Americans laughing at you.

A friend of mine who lives between here and Spain said a lot of farmers she works with have mothballed their greenhouses because of the high fuel prices. So possibly a straight-up supply issue too.

They were selling few enough veggies in my local coop that the butternut squash and mini sweetcorn I had with tea tonight were marked down. I almost never pay full price for fruit and veg, they don't eat that kind of thing up here in the North of England. Especially if it's not cabbage or peas.

It'll be something with mushrooms tomorrow night, they were marked down tonight but they'll be cheaper tomorrow.

Why is it fashionable from Remainers to keep posting bollocks like this so we all have to spend 5 mins Googling it to find out it's not a UK wide problem, the polls haven't budged, the Lib Dems are tanking in the polls, so other than feathering their own Schizophrenia , it's pointless

The amount of food waste this country generates is terrible and people are going on about a shortage of out of season goods? amazing

On the subject of EU food prices, who's been to France self catering in the past few years?

Everything food/drink wise (apart from French made booze and baguettes) is about 50% higher than here it seems - irrespective of which supermarket you go to.

Recent inflation might mean we've caught up a bit but really, I was staggered.

I don't get why if the EU is so great, that right wing (Media = 'Far Right') parties have got in in Italy and nearly France.

Maybe the reason long-term sickness in the UK has been rising is because we work such long hours whilst in France they are rioting because the retirement age is going up from 62.

All these Economic/GDP graphs don't mean much to me. I was just as skint back in 2007 under the Labour government when Britain was boomimg and a proud member of the EU.

I voted for Brexit because I thought the EU was getting above it's station. The Lisbon treaty started it for me, and this whole idea about an 'EU' Army was a joke. What would the EU army (if it existed) be doing about Ukraine? Sapping millions of Euros and sitting on its arse worried that if it does something Putin might get pressy pressy with the big red button.
