No. We’ve just had a negative quarter reported apparently. If we scrape to something just above zero I wouldn’t consider it some great victory.

We’re inflicting totally unnecessary economic hardship on ourselves in order to save the Tory party and so some old fuds can have a street party.

Or from a Far-Left view we are leaving a rich mans playground where unelected bureaucrats make millions while the poor have **** all.

To leave the Tory (+ DUP and whoever else gets a bung in return for votes) party unchecked. Sounds like a huge win for the poor. I’m sure the EU funding will be replaced in the ****holes the Tories have traditionally been so good for.

To be honest, I’ve never quite got this ‘EU funding’ stuff.......where do they get the money in the first place ? Don’t we (the taxpayers through the government) give it to them ?
Therefore why not cut out the middleman and give funding directly, thus cutting out the need to pay Tusk and Junker et all a massive wage and pension fund.

NB Of course that would be my utopian dream.....one step at a time :)

Well it’s our big chance to test the theory. Let’s see how the biggest recipients of EU funding here get on.
 
Huh? What would make you think otherwise, experts? The expectation for Q2 was zero growth remember.

I’m pretty certain due to the fact that every report from every media outlet that I can find, bar none, are saying we will not have a recession commencing next quarter
Shall we have a wager Strolls ?
 
Yep, first leave the EU, then kick out the Tories, install a true socialist government for the many, not the few.

Exciting times

No chance. When it goes to **** we won’t blame ourselves. White Van Man who has convinced himself via the Mail that Corbyn will take all his money will keep voting Tory (or Farage) and wonder why his kids’ school is closing early on Fridays and the local hospital is falling apart.

Maybe you’re right Bracknell, but I’d like to at least give it a chance......as I say, one step at a time .

According to Watford, I could get 11/4. Do you want to lay that?
 
Look at it this way, Bob. If Labour win the next General Election, and the Tories refuse to give way and demand to stay in government, you'd be rightly outraged. That's how Leavers would feel if the referendum result is not delivered
That's nothing like it to be fair. There are a lot of thick ****s in the North who picked up free copies of The Sun with every purchase and believed the pure bullshit and acted upon it. I come across them every day of the bloody week when visiting sites. The reasons some of them give are shockingly unbelievable.
