To be fair to him, who would have imagined so many people would be stupid enough to vote for Brexit? PM's astonishing claim as he denies nation is in 'crisis' and DISMISSES inflation spike fears, fuel shortages and empty supermarket shelves as 'just part of his new approach' Boris Johnson has been giving a series of interviews from the Conservative Party conference in Manchester The PM blamed the wave of supply chain chaos on Covid and Britain changing from a 'low wage' economy He insisted the disruption was like a 'giant waking' up and 'creaking' after the pandemic stalled activity Mr Johnson said 'not the job of government to come in and fix every problem' amid fears of Christmas misery He admitted that just 127 foreign lorry drivers have applied for emergency visas under government scheme Boris denies claims supply chain chaos just part of ending UK's 'low wage' economy | Daily Mail Online He's the ****ing prime Minister.

ESPECIALLY if his blatant stupidity and xenophobia are the reason the problem exists! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PM's astonishing claim as he denies nation is in 'crisis' and DISMISSES inflation spike fears, fuel shortages and empty supermarket shelves as 'just part of his new approach' The thing is, it really is a consequence of his new approach (aka Brexit). Crises and austerity are natural consequences. How can he fix it? Professor Patrick Minford, chair of Economists for Free Trade (formerly Economists for Brexit) famously said before the referendum that most British farmers would "have to find something else to do". What is happening in expected and part of the plan. We aim to be dependent on cheap imports for all our food needs. Redundant farms are "opportunities" in the eyes of developers. Economists for Free Trade board members include Sir James Dyson, William Rees-Mogg, Owen Paterson, Matt Ridley and David Jones. Sooner or later leave voters are going to wake up to what they have done. Edited October 5, 2021 by The Silver Shroud 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duke Wellington Posted October 5, 2021 #178 Share Posted October 5, 2021 (edited) In wonderful Brexit news today the corona rebound in the UK is better than expected: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-58746519 We grew in Q2 by 5.5% which is 0.7% more than predictions. No wonder we cannot get the lorry drivers into jobs fast enough. Eat your heart out EU! The Eurozone growth for the quarter was a mere 2.0% and is here: https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/documents/2995521/11563231/2-17082021-AP-EN.pdf/f70fe6cf-1859-c3ec-27f9-b5da6c6fc07a?t=1629187332055 Now aren`t we glad we left!!! Growth for Q3 is going to be impressive when the figures come out. Lets wait and see if we have more than doubled the EUs GDP growth then too. From the number of jobs being advertised, the constant harassment to switch jobs despite having one, and banking shares going up, its pretty obvious with Q3 and I suspect Q4 (that we are at the start of right now) are going to be rocket ships. Lets look at the powerhouse of the EU, Germany, what did they get I wonder for Q2? A mere 1.6%: https://tradingeconomics.com/germany/gdp-growth (Lots of sniggering) Edited October 5, 2021 by Cookie Monster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not know what you are crowing about. Ireland left the UK in its wake with a corresponding growth rate of 6.3%, nearly 2% greater than predicted.

Look at the date your link was produced, then read my post where a prediction of 4.8% has today turned out to be a result of 5.5%. You have linked the 4.8% forecast lol.
