IMF predicting UK the worse performing economy according to the news..

[Brigadier]

A look at a bit of this will be enormous reassurance. Someone recognizes what's wrong, and knows what to do do about it:

Surely that date is just a mistake....?

I've said all of this before.

UK (both "PLC" and individual companies and organisations) bodge and/or make do, rather than invest in real infrastructure and capital improvements.

Similarly so, with people.

There's nothing heroic or laudable about someone taking fifty hours a week to do something that, with better education, support, and investment, could be done in twenty.
Yet there are large swathes of the UK who can't, don't, or won't see that as folly.

Millions of people do recognise what's wrong and know what to do about it, but we don't have a party that represents us.

Still blaming foreigners for our self inflicted problems ?

But the tories between 1979-1997 actually did a pretty good job with the national debt.

I knew somebody who got quite a lot of money for a while by selling his car, his lawnmower, his furniture, his family silver, his water company, his children's bikes and clothes, his power station and his house.

Unfortunately he squandered all the money, with nothing to show for it, and now his family has no money, no car, no lawnmower, and no power stations. The younger members of his family greatly resent him.

Sound familiar?

A rule in the EU constitution said that the EU must not punish any state that leaves, yet this is what they have done. Remainers are now realising this.

Care to tell us exactly how the EU are punishing the UK?

They are after all just following the rules set up for such an unlikely circumstance...

Namely that a member state should choose to commit financial/political/social suicide...

Funnily enough the UK helped draft these rules, but the UK was the state that chose to break some and then threaten to break international law...

But hey many brexiteers are now brown bread or soon to be, and many others are seeing the error of their ways...

Add to that the phenomenon known as 'voter renewal', and it's only a matter of time before normal relations are resumed

How is any of that relevant to our self inflicted problems ?

If you believe they're real people, you're as mental as JohnD.

Thanks. I wondered why I wasn't in the golf club any more. I thought the fee was excessive so cancelled it and dropped out.

I don't understand there reaction at all but they still talk to me. No more committee meetings and socials though. Totally out. Or gold either so have sold my clubs.

I can hire clubs and play for a fee but lots of red tape as forms have to be filled in. The clubs aren't as good as the ones I sold.

real people

How are those Sunlit Uplands coming on?

"Sound familiar?" JD said after his babble.
It doesn't match. So no. Just JD poo.

Sadly not. Net debt shown on this page - click on the graph - from 1692
