I doesn't work quite like that.

Imported materials are already costing 15-20% more. Those who have hedged currency risk ahead will be ok until their contract runs out. Those who did not will soon start passing on their increased costs.

Eventually, and that's sooner rather than later, if the pound stays at these lower levels, inflation will rise sharply. Price increases will be across the board.

But as I said some experts have said the pound will raise in 2017.

And look at 2015, not good is it, also most the terror attacks on the list are IRA and ETA both have stopped, try again.
It's a graph, for each to interpret their own way. Try again?

If anything it shows how little effect middle east terrorists have had in the last 20 years with even the worst year you can find being well short of previous terrorist attacks

1988 was the Lockarbie bombing. I'm willing to bet a fair number of the high ones relate to plane hijacks/ bombs. Something ETA and IRA didn't go for.

Yes, please try again until you can show Kustard the graph that proves kicking the Romanians out will lead to full employment, record growth and no terrorism.

UK to power on as France falls behind: Britain and Germany will be the only European economies in the world's top eight by 2030
  • Britain is currently in sixth place in the list of the largest economies in the world
  • Experts expect it to slip to eight place by 2030 but France will fall out of the list
  • The report will pile pressure on Theresa May to secure strong trade deals
Britain and Germany will be the only European economies in the world’s top eight by 2030, experts say today.

While the UK slipped below France in the past year, it will draw level again by 2021 and overtake it soon afterwards, according to the Centre for Economics and Business Research.

It predicted that China will overtake the US to take the top spot, while Brazil and South Korea will also rise in the international league table.

The report will pile pressure on Theresa May to secure strong trade deals with more distant nations after the UK leaves the EU.

The latest trade figures show British exports soared to a record high of £26.8billion in October – up 8.7 per cent on the previous month and 17.9 per cent on a year earlier. Most of this increase came from outside the EU.

BRITISH BOSSES CONFIDENT ON GROWTH
BUSINESS leaders go into the new year bullish about their firms’ prospects after Brexit, a major survey has found.

More than 60 per cent of members of the Institute of Directors said they were optimistic or very optimistic about how their company will perform in 2017 – a month after the referendum, the figure was just 46 per cent.

Many of the Institute’s 34,000 members, predominantly small businesses, said they now expected higher revenue and more profitability, despite warnings from Remain campaigners that UK firms would suffer if we voted to leave.

Simon Walker, director general of the IoD, said: ‘Businesses are becoming used to uncertainty, and while some speculate on what our relationship with Europe might look like in the years to come, employers are getting on with the job of growing their businesses and delivering UK jobs.’


Britain is currently in sixth place in the list of the largest economies in the world and while it will slip to eighth by 2030, France and Italy will fall out of the elite group completely, the CEBR said.

Whether or not any of that comes to pass, Hull will still remain a massive toilet.

Doesn't seem to be working very well, does it?

It could be improved, some southerners still turn up. It's partly due to the University having a high retention rate. Do you realise how childish comments like that make you look?

Still, at least it avoids discussing the Institute of Directors comments.
