UK carrying on doing what it was doing before and paying no attention at all to Brexit
If only. But great if that’s true
Bravo! I'm not sure why you think it wouldn't be,
Well you are in a significant minority then. Our side claimed that activity would be significantly weaker already. Perhaps all the fear was why we lost?
but clearly Brexit hasn't happened yet, so nothing much has changed.
True. Clearly untrue.
Perhaps all the fear was why we lost?
All the racism/nationalism was why we lost. But we can't say that....
The Europe recovered later and is in s different part of their cycle. So?
Anyway personally happy that the UK and Eu is doing better than expected - win win is always better
The UK doing better than expected when it's lousy and Brexit hasn't even happened yet. You were expecting worse! I hope your employer is smacking your wrist for expecting and preparing for worse.
"win win", THM, the man who claims the glass is half full when it's 1/3 full and cracked. And the poor are being served drain water in soluble paper cups.
Lousy? Still struggling with the truth ed? Best for the past three and a half years !!!
I get paid for preparing for all outcomes. Better than running away from reality
Nice gross representation though
Still must be shocking that the UK is going to get through this mess. Just enough people getting on with life....instead of following your misplaced rallying call for economic sabotage
Lousy lousy lousy, worst in Europe said someone up there, carry on polishing your turd, THM.
People get through all sorts of messes, wars, famines, diseases, they get on with life. It doesn't shock me that people get through them, it does shock me that people in power deliberately put people through avoidable misery.
So, say, if we were to look at the OECD, always a decent enough barometer, how are our wages performing?
Lousy lousy lousy, worst in Europe said someone up there, carry on polishing your turd, THM.
Perhaps you are not alone at misunderstanding what the data means?
DD wage growth is following our productivity record which is not good. Still better than in Europe. Which is a shame for them
Still better than in Europe
False again, THM. OECD:
https://data.oecd.org/lprdty/gdp-per-hour-worked.htm
Euro 19, 105
Euro 28, 106
UK, 101
and those lazy French, 105. 😛
Check out Ireland, Darcy. 8)
Still misunderstanding Ed?
We are talking wage growth. Perhaps it’s time for another nice song instead?
“Ode to sabotage”
DD wage growth is following our productivity record which is not good. Still better than in Europe.
You write ambiguous sentenses, I'm surprised your employer tolerates that, THM. Good thing you're not a lawyer.
Given my knowledge of law is as poor as you knowledge of economics and politics, you might be correct there for a change.
It’s a c not an s BTW
We are talking wage growth.
Whose wages are growing?
Don't start picking up on mis-spelling, that's a whole new level of condescension.
Oh, and FWIW, I assume you meant to say 'as poor as YOUR knowledge....'. 😉
True it was a joke for another poster - my speeding courtesy of Apple is awful 😉
*waits for phrase “negative growth”*
I get paid for preparing for all outcomes
So you get paid even if your students don't turn up? Sweet gig dude.
Godot will come faster DD

What did you think the sea was going to swallow us up?
The UK will exist in 2020,how much is invested and how much manufacturing remains after that is to be seen, certainly a lot of firms are holding back and deciding where the next model, factory or line will be. It's the assessments that I spend my time doing at the moment.
No. I have sanguine about our prospects all along. Never believed the doomsday nonsense.
But yes, uncertainty has affected the economy which is why today’s news is positive - unless people delight in doing the UK down?
Good luck with assessment
[quote=Leku ]So you get paid even if your students don't turn up? Sweet gig dude.
I think he means even if they fail their 11+
😀

Well we will see what happens if the trade deal tips over the point for too many people. I assume you have one that says Departments X,Y &Z are heading out of the country etc. Somebody will be putting those plans into action.
- unless people delight in doing the UK down?
You confuse being realistic and accepting that decisions are yet to be made which could still go either way are not putting the country down, it's called being a realist.
I hope we are witnessing the turning of the tide.
There's no popular appetite for Brexit any more, just a renegade government that's about to fall apart.

Talking to a bloke at the weekend banging on about how Brexit was going to make Great Breat Great again and what a fantastic thing getting blue passports was going to be.
I asked if he was happy that £485m was going to be spent to bring out the new passports and if he knew why the country was actually called Great Britain. He didn't like any of that and retreated into saying that it would stop the darkies coming here. It was a bit like a parody.
Meantime I see clients putting off decisions to invest in new buildings or actively focus sing in mainland Europe or in the Middle East instead.
All the racism/nationalism was why we lost. But we can't say that...
Nope terrible Remain “Project Armageddon” campaign with nothing much positive to say about staying in except “we can reform tje EU” - this being patently untrue based on past 20 years
I asked if he was happy that £485m was going to be spent to bring out the new passports
To be fair, that number is for new biometric features - the colour change really doesn't cost anything like that much.
(Which still doesn't excuse us as a nation for having so royally screwed up and launched into the stupidityfest that is Brexit).

I'm sure you'll correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't the UK be taking thier turn at EU president right now, if it wasn't for the hissy fit we just threw?
nothing much positive to say about staying in
There was plenty of positives put forward so that’s just more of your bullshit.
Fancy a dog whistler like you denying that xenophobia was a massive part of Leave. 😆
[quote=oldnpastit ]the colour change really doesn't cost anything like that much.
My understanding it that the direct costs are about the same as changing the colour would cost if we're still in the EU. Which does raise an interesting idea if changing the passport colour is enough to keep people happy...
I'm sure you'll correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't the UK be taking thier turn at EU president right now,
It would have also helped if we had elected MEPs who were interested in actually working with Europe rather than a load whose only interest was taking the cash and talking about going back to imperial measurements.
There was plenty of positives put forward so that’s just more of your bullshit.
And we still lost?!? 😯
“we can reform tje EU” - this being patently untrue based on past 20 years
jambafact!
the UK has been very influential in driving reform of EU law in areas of finance, science environment etc
http://www.europarl.europa.eu/committees/en/amendments.html
but if teh Leave campaign will be remembered for something itll have been victory at any cost built on lies
https://fullfact.org/europe/eu-facts-behind-claims-uk-influence/
Official EU voting records* show that the British government has voted ‘No’ to laws passed at EU level on 56 occasions, abstained 70 times, and voted ‘Yes’ 2,466 times since 1999, according to UK in a Changing Europe Fellows Sara Hagemann and Simon Hix.In other words, UK ministers were on the “winning side” 95% of the time, abstained 3% of the time, and were on the losing side 2%.
we had massive amounts of influence, but weve swapped it all for blue passports
And we still lost?!?
The reasons why you so aptly demonstrate on a daily base.
And we still wait for you to provide us with some information regarding the behind the scenes 'grown ups'.
I'm expecting him to hand in his homework anytime now.
"and stil we lost " we haven't lost yet THM we are still in Europe you have just given up the fight . We live in a democracy the grown ups can continue to argue for what is best for the country until we cease to be a democracy.
And we still wait for you to provide us with some information regarding the behind the scenes 'grown ups'.
Alternatively you could watch the news and/or read a paper
Info on individual grown ups and what has been achieved to date all available
None suits the moan narrative though, hence the denial/we are still waiting retorts 😀
we had massive amounts of influence, but weve swapped it all for blue passports
Also can't understand why Brexiters complain about the EU being a protectionist racket, but then want to leave it. Surely better to be inside the protection?
We were in one of the world's biggest most powerful economies. Now they are our rival. Smart move.
Alternatively you could watch the news and/or read a paper
It's not behind the scenes if it's in a newspaper; we've covered this already in the never ending round-about that is THM's garbage soundbites / playing the victim card.
They publish the results - where do you think the results come from and why are they news?
Not diffcult is it?
Reality isn’t sound bites 😉
🙄
Apparently it is difficult as we're 400 posts on from when you mentioned 'behind the scenes grown up stuff' and you still can't post anything of relevance.
As always you exude vacuity - I don't think in the history of the internet has one person posted so much but said so little.
Ever considered a career as a Conservative politician?
Apparently it is difficult as we're 400 posts on from when you mentioned 'behind the scenes grown up stuff' and you still can't post anything of relevance.
I would expect he is under obligation not to.
Don’t do yourself down - your winning that contest by a mile
December was full of announcements from the behind the scenes stuff. Just because you choose to ignore that doesn’t make progress go away
Still keep moaning if it makes you happy. The world is moving on...
The remoaner mantra - deny progress is possible.....moan.....deny progress has happened. Life just be miserable with half empty glasses the whole time
Well if December was full of behind the scenes stuff it'll be easy for you to give us some examples right?
"The world is moving on." and is the UK building lots of new factories and warehouses for it's role in that new world, or is the United Kingdom being left behind as the world moves on?
