    Strange how when somebody quotes the claim that Britain is the fasting growing G7 economy, somebody rushes along and points out that growth is from a low base caused by the pandemic; however, nobody rushes along to point out the same about German exports when that inconvenient fact does not suit their argument. Perhaps all those cars they used to sell over here are now being exported to Ukraine so all those manufacturing jobs are not at risk because of EU intransigence.

    And was that Eurozone inflation adjusted? You need more Euros to buy anything in the EU with price hikes.

    We appear to be in quite familiar Remainer whinging territory here.

    Was it not you that gleefully posted the other day about how energy prices in France had only risen by 4 per cent whilst in Brexit Britain energy prices had risen substantially more? Leaving aside the fact that global energy markets are nothing to do with Brexit, once again a faux Brexit argument was being made by leaving out the salient facts.

    French President Emmanuel Macron capped energy price increases at 4 per cent and, entirely co-incidentally, bought €2bn of EDF shares to bailout France’s biggest energy provider that stands to lose €8bn in revenue because of his action. I thought there was some EU rule about state subsidies and this move does leave 84 per cent of EDF shares in French government ownership, virtual nationalisation.

    Only the small problem that half the candidates are not British – the desperate imperative for diversity and inclusivity meant looking offshore. It has been the same the last couple of series. In the last series they were so bad that he fired two people some weeks and by the time it got to the last three or four I wanted him to fire the lot because I would not have given any of them a penny.

    The problem is that the thick ginger one might actually have public opinion on her side here. Shoot the terrorist first and worry about their perceived human rights later. The Red Witch of Stockport’s constituents might be with her on this one if they are not all BAME.

    No surprise that thick Abbott does not like the idea because hardly any terrorists ever seem to be white and privileged whilst the police shooting them are usually racists. The hard Left ******s at Momentum are equally concerned as your average jihadist seems to be from easily brainwashed Generation Z like most of their membership.

    Watching “Gogglebox”, the general stupidity of the great British public was perfectly illustrated when they were watching “Dragons’ Den”. The Goggleboxers were grumbling about how the people trying to secure investment always ended up giving more of their business for their investment.

    One of the people looking for investment was offering something like 3 per cent of the business for £60,000. Clearly the viewers and the entrepreneurs do not understand basic arithmetic. If you want £60,000 for 3 per cent of the business, then you are valuing the business at £2,000,000 because a hundred divided by three times sixty thousand is two million. If the Dragons cannot see your business making your sky high valuation, they are going to want more of the business in order to stand a chance of getting their money back – 10 per cent of your business values it at £600,000.

    This is not a new show and you would think that by now some entrepreneurs would come in making realistic assessments of their business ideas; however, I guess that would not make great TV. Just like nobody ever watched “X-Factor” for any other reason than to see hopeless pub karaoke acts strangle famous songs.

    Later on they showed the brain dead British public complaining about the cost of living crisis as reported by BBC News. Amazing how it is all the government’s fault when you have absolutely no idea what happens when the global supply chains are shutdown by a global pandemic. Certainly they can blame Bolshevik Boris for promising them all higher wages – that is Dame Kelly Starmer’s job.

    Bastard buggering Brexit. 80% of SME's are saying that their exports have green made more difficult by Brexit. The fact us that if you deliberately place a bottleneck in the export line then sales will suffer. Bigger market - better prospects. Still I suppose we have Vanuatu to export to.

    80% of SME's don't export at all you thick twat. :emoticon-0102-bigsm


    Based on available data it is estimated that 9% of the UKs SMEs export and a further 15% are in the supply chains of other businesses that export.

    When it comes to thickness and twatiness DMD is on course for gold. Any thick twat would realise that it meant 80% of those that export, but thick twatiness is a DMD specialist subject.

    Your post is still there, clearly claiming "80% of SME's are saying that their exports have green made more difficult by Brexit."

    I'm simply replying to your specific claim, you dopey twat.

    Just own your **** ups you ******. You've quite a stock of them now.

    DMD 's thick twatiness extends to finding a typo and thinking it is Christmas. You have to wonder how some of these people work the keyboards.
