    It's a 'best guesstimate' given the way the ONS makes its calculations on certain assumptions.

    Does it have to be on the One Show for it to pass the midget racist test of validity?

    Because Britain's got lots and lots of ****ing idiots, and the idiots want their country back.

    He's comically thick. He consistently posts any old ****e that he thinks backs his agenda without doing a shred of research.

    He sums up the spoon fed idiot segment of our Nation. If it's in the S*n he believes it.

    Voted NO, because whilst I think it will happen in name, the Govt will be forced by business to ensure that they have a pool of EU workers and have access to the single market.

    It's like trying to turn a semi into a detached when the neighbours on the other side of the wall object.
    It just can't happen.

    The politics threads are full of frantically googled bullshit... mainly due to that fat gimp who lives in his garage.

    I couldn't care less if Brexit happens, it's descended into a war of words between wet farts and even wetter farts, all pretending they can predict the future.

    Unless someone has a time machine and goes 5 years into the future no **** will know whether it will work or not. It has never been done before so I don't know what they can assume these calculations on.

    Brexit is a complete clusterfuck!

    And the current bunch of incompetents are making it an even bigger one!

    If you want to know where you'll be in 5 yrs, the answer is worse off!

    You don't need a time machine to see what is right in front of you. Brexit is already proving to be a monumental **** up - a real **** sandwich, and everyone will be forced to take a bite.

    someone better pick the peanuts out first, otherwise the 350m a week windfall the NHS are supposed to get will be spent on anaphylactic patients.

    You think you can discredit the entire thing after a year, during which time we have held a GE? On what basis is your opinion formed?

    It was incredibly obvious that the resistance and will to frustrate the process was going to make the (already gargantuan) task even bigger, but even still, a year down the line and you're drawing conclusions... I personally thought we'd be looking at a good 10 years before we could assess it but obviously I'm not an expert like you.

    The economic evidence, of course!

    Because of my old profession I view this from an economic standpoint. And from there, it’s an unmitigated disaster!

    It will take a minimum of 10yrs just to muster some form of recovery. Dependent on what kind of Brexit we get.

    Are you asserting that people who voted to leave did so with the assumption that it would be achieved seemlessly?

    I'll admit that it's probably being made worse due to the ****tards doing the bidding but it was never going to be a breeze was it, a year is nothing.

    It's just a case of remainders being hell bent on saying 'I told you so', to the extent that they won't even see the end result, yet my personal feelings are when the **** storm is over and the country is thriving again the remainers will be the ones finding a way to take the credit.

    A large proportion of them didn't give a flying **** what the consequences would be economically.

    Many wanted to kick the 'haves' in the bollocks, others to protest against Cameron, plenty more to not have Bulgarians sat next to them in the Doctors and others just wanted to wave their Union Jacks whilst hankering for the days of the Empire.

    It’s hard to stay silent when you can see what’s happening and what’s going to happen - especially if this current bunch of incompetents come away with no deal.

    I do sincerely hope I’m wrong about all this for the benefit of my kids and their kids. But all credible evidence I’ve seen so far tells me that unfortunately I’m not.

    Tobes is right. What we’re seeing currently is a battle between ideology against realism and pragmatism. Unfortunately, the ideologists seem to be winning.

    The ideologists in the Gvt are winning. The hardliners who seem to care little about the damage being done to the economy so long as they don't have to put up with Johnny Frog and his mates getting in the way of Brittania's return to the great glories of the past.

    Still baffles me how anyone can claim to be left wing and support the EU.
    Its about as anti left as you can get, a bunch of corporate bureaucrats looking out for their own financial interests, with their greedy ****ing eyes on all our public services, including the NHS.
