  1. Where did I claim those types of numbers? I just pointed out that skilled manufacturing jobs tend to have multiplier effects and support jobs in other industries and provided a reference to that end. This is work by a serious academic economist, based on real data not the hatchet job by a bumpkin who likely has trouble counting on both hands. Serious work has only looked at effects on job creation (as I pointed out if you had bothered to read): it doesn't necessarily follow that the same numbers are at risk of losing their jobs. After all the economy will adjust in other ways to a negative shock among other things, the cost of labour will fall as unemployment rises, making it easier to reemploy displaced people in other industries which will offset those initial job losses. But kudos for showing a more limited understanding of the economy than my dog. So my point was quite modest: whether you accept the 900,000 figure or any other figure (I'm sceptical of precise forecasts as I've endlessly pointed out on here), direct estimates are likely to underestimate the effects because they don't take account of the wider interactions that Moretti and others have expertly documented. But you keep doing what you do and spinning your scare stories to an audience of one pal
  2. Yep though Romeu has played CB for Chelsea before; don't think Valery or McQueen have played there before.
  3. I think you mean Boris Johnson needs to wise up
  4. Why does Jihadi John have to address the comments of JLR's CEO who only lives and breathes the business when Owen Paterson, MP, says that Brexit will be good for JLR?
  5. Which article was that - the swivel-eyed opinion piece by Ambrose Evans-Pritchard who can't even get the UK's growth figures correct? Its very easy to play the 'structural decline' card, not that automation isn't a factor, when you are unwilling to take responsibility for your actions. So what if Brexit wipes out the car industry goes the Brexiteer line it was headed for the dustbin of history anyway. You need to wise up a bit pal.
  6. The jihadists are getting their knickers in a twist... Where's one of guido's fluffers to provide a timely link when you need it
  7. https://blogs.spectator.co.uk/2018/07/theresa-mays-brexit-paper-could-mean-no-us-trade-deal/
  8. Sims and Reed were playing as wingbacks.
  9. F**k business.
  10. 3-3. Shot from distance. A bit of bend but down the middle. Forster should have done better. What can you learn from preseason eh?
  11. Attackers seem a bit isolated from the midfield.
  12. Goal Reed. Too strong for the fullback. Playing as the RWB it seems.
  13. Drew a good save from the keeper before that. Slipped into the box with the short free kick. Defensively we've been a shambles.
  14. Good goal Redders. Nice interplay between Austin and Redmond on the edge of the box. Playing much more central.
  15. Hoj now with the sloppy ball gifting them a breakaway.
  16. Poor play by Hoedt, giving the ball away and letting his man go.
  17. Surprising how little the team talks to each other. The krauts are bang on it.
  18. Good play by Armstrong.
  19. One silver lining of the s***ty stream is that you can hear the players chatt*ng sh*t.
  20. Nearly fell on his arse biting on the dummy too. Looked like a hoj deflection.
  21. F**k all. Was a tad late.
  22. Refs a bit eager
  23. Yep, though at times seems to be switching with Lemina at RWB. They just let their man go.
  24. Yep. Keeps skipping backwards.
