Chomper Higgot

Again quoting me out of context of my full post. Sorry, I’m not giving you the attention you obviously believe I should be.

The Government’s own data says it’s bad.

The topic of discussion is the economy not some happiness nonsense. I guess you don’t like discussing the state of the economy

Cherry picking my post as I have demonstrated. And now trying to deny it. Sad

Better off than the average Somali too. Find a famine somewhere and the average UK person had more to eat. Set your standards high.

Underwrites! Solvent nations, of which the UK has had experience of not being and came within hours of not being only one Prime Minister ago.

Maybe the fact the IMF bailed out the UK the last time it was the ‘sick man of Europe’ is something we should all remember.

Not even 3%. Another Brexit fail: https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2023/apr/09/tories-in-retreat-from-brexit-bill-to-scrap-thousands-of-eu-laws

But it is something the IMF is ‘known for’ and nobody is ‘known for’ the future.

Don’t truncate Chomper to misrepresent my posts.

I actually said something a bit more than that, but you chose to cherry pick. I wonder why?

In terms of the UK the IMF is known for bailing out the Bank of England the last time the UK was the ‘sick man of Europe’.

Except restricting an economy with tariffs and restrictions on trade with its main trading partner has predictable long term impacts.

Jack be nimble, Jack he quick.

For your dream to become anything other than arid the Bidens would have first had to have committed some crimes. Your hopes for politically motivated abuse of the DOJ are noted (Rightwing accusation being confessions and all that).

The UK economy suffers long term problems of low productivity, low investment and low growth, tariffs and bureaucracy between the UK and it’s most important trading partners are recent additions. Short term fluctuations might attract attention but it’s the long term trend that matters.

When your five year old asks, ‘But Pops, did all those that didn’t say he shouldn’t run, say he should?’ You’ll have to respond ‘shut up and eat your greens’.

Oh look, you’re trying to deflect… again.

Let’s go back to your usual excuses for hiding Brexit impacts. The Pandemic and Russian illegal invasion of Ukraine. The impacts of the former are fading fast but have, together with the impacts of the latter affected two major groups of stock prices: 1. Interest rate hikes hit a major Tech focussed bank resulting in a crash to tech stock prices - LSE is not heavily loaded with tech stocks and therefore did not see significant tech stock price losses. 2. Energy stocks have seen a historically unprecedented windfall as a direct result of Russia’s illegal invasion of Ukraine, Shell, BP, British Gas and other energy companies listed on the LSE have raked in vast increases in profits for which they did zero to achieve. The heavy bias of the LSE towards fossil fuel energy companies has resulted in windfall profits. The long term future for these stocks is now under threat. A future Labour Government will undoubtedly introduce real windfall taxes while renewable energy and Green technologies are already taking their market share. The profusely of the LSE in 2022 were a windfall, absolutely no guide to the health of the UK economy.

Beyond minor short term fluctuation, the pound is certainly not ‘strengthens’ against the US Dollar or its major trading currency the Euro. Most companies on the FTSE are trading overseas their share price determined by that overseas trade, not the health or otherwise of the UK economy.

Nor a country of your choosing. Why even the Hone Secretary can’t give any definite answers on the matter: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/braverman-small-boats-deportation-sunak-b2296400.html

Cohen has already given evidence and testimony of crimes committed by Trump and d himself as part of his ‘Attorney Duties’ for Trump. Suing for giving sworn testimony in court? Trump’s on his hopeless vengeance kick again. ’Crime Fraud Exception’, ‘Attorney Client Privilege’ yields.

I wonder who it was who declared UK Manufacturing Industry to be dead, and then set about killing it and creating the ‘money shuffling’ you mention?

3. Trump rapes the woman and she wants Justice.
