  1. Yoshida responsible for the first, less so for the second.
  2. Good work coleslaw.
  3. Goa’s got no moolah.
  4. It was a list of facts Les, based on trade and tariff data. I was simply asking how they squared with your assertions. Fair enough if you don’t feel equipped or informed enough to respond pal.
  5. Sorry not him. He’s on Les and JJ’s watch list. This lot: #reinventedandreinvigorated
  6. The UK isn’t part of the Eurozone pal.
  7. Hello Les. I thought you were taking a break and there was nothing more to discuss until the vote on the 11th. That was your excuse for not responding to my earlier post. Fancy another try pal?

  9. Bit more complicated than that little fella. But why am I surprised by that. In return for the 'loads of money' Poland, it needs to play by all the rules of the single market. In other words, it is required to open its product, service and capital markets to companies in Western Europe which are invariably more productive and competitive than local firms -all of which is good for UK plc. Finally one might conclude that these transfers are well worth the financial and strategic price for healing a fractured continent post the Cold War but these considerations tend to be lost on Brexiteers with a complacent, thick-as-pigs*t understanding of history.
  10. Precisely why we need to take back control.
  11. Don’t be a cretin.
  12. What the hell does this mean? Do you have the breaking point poster up in your bedroom or something? #mess

  14. Les, you're bundling lots of different things and still wont answer the question, so lets be clear. First I've expressed my scepticism of official forecasts numerous times on here and am careful not to invoke them to support a position. Second, you are correct that people didn't just vote for economic reasons (though those other reasons are no less contestable, never mind their realisation depends on a strong economy). However, in the particular case of tariffs and consumer savings, you unambiguously made an economic claim (indeed it is one of leave's favourite claims). You failed to respond to the evidence I presented. Shall I take to mean that you can't respond pal?
  15. It also helps that European migrants pay substantially more in taxes to the government than they take in benefits or public services. One reason to be relatively optimistic about the UK’s long-term economic prospects is that the workforce is projected to grow whereas it is shrinking in other countries. Of course that assumes the same levels of migration that we’ve come used to.
  16. Wriggle, wriggle, wriggle Les. You’ve talked up the benefits of rejecting May’s deal and reverting to WTO terms - in particular the consumer gains from eliminating tariffs which is one JRM’s favourite talking points. We’re not refighting the campaign; it’s a very live issue. I presented data casting doubt on the size of those gains. I made no reference to HMT or the BoE or their macroeconomic forecasts, so that’s a complete red herring. As you’re unable to defend your position (just as you were previously), I can only conclude you don’t have a response. Nothing wrong with accepting and even admitting your limitations pal.
  17. The last you extolled the upsides from Brexit (i.e. something vague about cheaper imports), I gave you a few facts at which point you ran away, unable to defend your position. Do enlighten me Les.
  18. Non-EU net migration at its highest since 2004. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-46384417 #takingbackcontrol
  19. Complete pony.

  21. https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/brexit-second-world-war-soldier-army-blitz-spirit-uk-a8225826.html RIP
  22. Gravel
  23. Hojbjerg clearly dominate? Hoj may have more of an engine than Romeu but Romeu is technically better on the ball and reads the game well defensively.
  24. Spoken like a true scared old man.
