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.

You'll have to type slower for him, it seems.  Now he takes umbrage at being referred to in the third person.

That's funny, incorrect and misleading.

 

You referred to me in the third person whilst speaking directly to me.

 

It was, and still is, grammatically incorrect.

 

You even said "another poster" with my username in brackets whilst replying to my comment. 

 

Now you decide to try and deflect your errors by lying. 

 

A good belly laugh.

There is a confusion. It was me, not Sin Sling.

BTW, my reply was not really a reply.

I was just informing you that I had modified my initial comment by integrating your contribution. The reply function was the most simple way to do it.

 

I can modify it again, and rewrite it as a reply.

 

The Telegraph article (which was based on IMF forecast numbers) is misleading, as it omits to show the Eurozone GDP forecast, which is more than twice higher than the UK forecast.

Additionaly you have cast more doubt on the reliability of this article by outlining that IMF forecast numbers have not always been accurate.

Correct. However, it was an error. Just admit it. 

 

I madecan error and therefore, apologies to Sing.

 

Yes, you are right. I doubted IMF, based on historical forecasts. That is all I did. Nothing more, nothing less. Your rants are inane as they seem to suggest I've done something that I haven't.

I know that was surely not your intent, and that's why I added a laughing emoticons in my first reply. 

That's basic logic, if you cast doubt on IMF forecast numbers, you also (albeit indirectly) cast doubt on an article based on these numbers.

Have I said anything else?

 

It appears your blinkered view led you to believe I was doubting the IMF's forcast for UK alone.

 

That's why you are confused. 

 

I will repeat one more time, I don't believe or trust IMF forecasts due to many wayward forecasts in the past.

Another mutual misunderstanding. I actually believed that you initially were doubting the IMF forecast for Eurozone only.

Ok  so it was just a coincidence.

However  there was nothing inane in stressing that in case IMF numbers were to be considered as unreliable, then the Telegraph article should also be considered as such ( on top of using a truncated set of data).

Left wingers sabotaging an event again , they seem to thrive on disruption , not unhappy unless the focus is on them .

The event was not sabotaged, it went rather smoothly with no interruptions to the program.

 

How you determined the people peacefully waiving EU flags were ‘left-wingers’ remains to be explained.

Nothing was spoiled, the program of events was uninterrupted.

 

Flag waving at the last night is a long held tradition.

All that EU flag waving at the last night of the proms is consistent with what is discussed in the OP.

 

They were given free flags when entering the arena  , tens of thousands of free flags were given to people and its traditional to wave flags around at the concert . As its quite dark inside the concert (I was there myself recently) hall , I doubt whether people opened their free flags and give it much thought about Brexit .

   Its not as though thousands of the audience support Remain and took flags along to show their support, they were given free flags when entering

They didn’t have to accept, much less wave the flags.

 

I doubt anyone supporting Brexit accepted an EU flag and then waved it around in the audience.

A quote of my post yesterday. Mistake acknowledged and apologised for. No need for me to " live with" anything, especially a small mistake on a forum like this.
