Have to go back in our knees.. they'd love it

And we would have to join the Euro.  If Tony Blair had followed Gordon Brown's advice and we'd joined the Euro back then, none of this would have happened.  Sure, Labour would have suffered politically at the time due to the UKIP and other nationalists, but it would have blown over and now we'd be seeing the benefits.

Actually Blair was in favour of joining the Euro and Brown was against.

 

An alternative scenario of what might have happened if we had joined.

Being Australian, I must say, I have thoroughly enjoyed the Brexit fiasco and do hope the nonsense continues on for many many years to come.

Can’t see you clowns regaining the Ashes any time soon either.

????????????

Funnily enough. I can't see you jesters making a world football final or winning a cricket Test series in England anytime soon either.

What a biased presentation in this article.

Two graphs below. One willfully omitting the Eurozone from the linked article, and the other with the Eurozone GDP forecast. The growth forecast for UK is less than half of the GDP growth forecast in the Eurozone (which includes the weight of the bad performance of Germany).

Seeing as the source was the same, it would make sense the figures were the same. Doesn't make it any more accurate.

 

I don't see the point you are trying to make.

His point he makes is relevant information is missing from the Toryograph report.

 By contrast, only 8% of Leave voters support a referendum in 2023, 16% think there should be one in the next five years, and 20% within the next ten years

 

I haven't seen anything from the EU that indicates it wants the UK back in the EU fold and on what terms

I'd say 50 percent of leave voters will be daed or very near it in the next 10 years.

 

And it is all very academic. As you say, who says that a return is even an option at this point. The UK is hardly negotiating from a position of strength at his point.

It might be more than 50% if they ever need to urgently get into hospital or see a doctor.

 

The ‘winter NHS crisis’ is already off to an early start.

 

‘350,000,000 per week, let’s give that to the NHS’

 

Or stuff it in the pockets of Ministerial Cronies?!

My point is that JonnyF's claim was based on a biased article, in which a key number from the IMF comparison had been deleted. The missing number is showing the opposite of his claim..

He said nothing about missing information.

 

I'll wait for him to answer the question, as apposed to relyinging on unsubstantiated efforts at mind reading.

He just did:

You've already pointed out the IMF forecasts on both comments are " exactly" the same.

Yet my post, to which you decided to reply, is about missing information.

No mind reading, article reading.

Yet my post was about IMF forecasts. No particular one. IMF forecasts in general.

 

I made no point on which ones, involving which countries or what forecasts. You took exception. 

 

Why?

Ok, so let's update my comment!

The telegraph article is misleading, as it omits to show the Eurozone GDP forecast, which is more than twice higher than the UK forecast.

It should also be mentioned that another poster (youreavinalaff), thinks that  the IMF numbers on which this article is based may not be reliable.

Why are you quoting me and taking about me in the third person?

 

Seems your passion for IMF forecasts is getting to you. ????????????
