You had better inform this lot about their sad lie: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/overseas-investment-into-the-uk-at-highest-ever-level 4th Dec 2018: The UK remains a top destination for investment, with new figures showing that inward stock is at the highest level since records began. Just imagine how much more it will increase after the actual Brexit. A tariff war could be interesting. How do you think the EU could adjust their tariffs in response to the UK? No need to display your literacy in gobbledygook - simple English will be fine for the simply economically illiterate. it seems even all these foreign investors know brexit will never happen 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do Not have so much time to destroy ur euphoria in detail. Just a few thoughts: 1. Source: economistforfreetrade. Aha. 2. Growth rate of UK 2018 at 1.4% = in the lower third of the EU. 3. Data collection point for more tax revenue: January only. 4. Nominal wage growth yes, but what about the consumer price inflation rate? 5. Employment at new heights, good. But how much of it are permanent fixed jobs and part time jobs. 6. That we all slide into a threatening recession is obvious. Worldwide trade wars are known to be in full swing. The fact that the UK with a Brexit and all the upcoming trade barriers can decouple from it, is a sweet dream. I can't believe that Malta produces so many sausages! But it's all relative! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calculate that currency-adjusted, simple for the economically illiterate in US Dollar, Euro and Yen. the company i worked for after leaving school for 16 years and two later spells were bought by a german company recently,i was talking with a manager mate a few weeks ago and asked him if he knew what attracted them to buying the company,he said the low pound was one of the MAJOR factors,i bet there are hundreds of other examples around the country,yet we get brexieers moaning about the french owning the water the spanish the bus companies etc,when will brexiteers learn the UK will get nowhere fast with a weak/worthless currency,it goes way beyond an expats beer and pussy money. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The next step, economic decline, seems inevitable, before we look at the possibility of civil unrest. Someone must be chortling with satisfaction at a job well done, but whoever he is, he’s not my friend and he’s probably not yours. It’s already been mentioned, that should the political elite fail/refuse to implement the people’s Democratic vote,that civil unrest is inevitable. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelseafan Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 2 hours ago, aright said: LIAM HALLIGAN is an economist, writer and broadcaster – and also has extensive business experience. He is best known for his weekly “Economics Agenda” column in The Sunday Telegraph, which he has written since 2003. The column enjoys a large international following and has been recognized with a highly-coveted British Press Award. Given your view or Liam Halligans view I have made my choice The public finances are on the mend, recording a healthy surplus in January on booming tax receipts. Employment is at record levels, with real wage growth at a two-year high. Despite a global slowdown, Britain expanded 1.4 per cent last year, recording just 4 per cent unemployment. Yet Germany and France are on the brink of recession, the Italian economy is contracting and eurozone joblessness is twice as high. https://www.economistsforfreetrade.com/Media/the-telegraph-britains-economy-is-set-to-boom-and-become-the-largest-in-europe-because-of-brexit/ Can't really say any of that has to do with Brexit though and it depends on how you view public finances. We still owe £1.8trillion and that figure is growing (if the Government was a business it would be bankrupt!). Unemployment has been in decline for the past 7 years thanks in part to zero-hours contracts and a review of the benefits system which has forced (in some cases) disabled people back to work. Ultimately we all have an opinion but no-one REALLY knows what effect a hard Brexit will have on the economy, we can only surmise with current data and It would be interesting to go back on Mr. Halligans articles and see how many times he has been wrong since 2003 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been reading his columns for a long time and although not a disciple I have never found him to be radically wrong about anything. I put my experience of his views along side his book "Clean Brexit-Why leaving the EU still makes sense" and his cv and as a result show him a lot of respect. I would never dismiss the views of a Telegraph journalist just because he works for the Telegraph as some do. https://liamjhalligan.files.wordpress.com/2014/10/liamcv-2014.pdf If the requirement for opinion is they should have had a job and experience in business I'm sure that would most probably exclude 75% of MP's ….maybe not such a bad thing. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
