When will it start to get worse? Unemployment at record lows.

Another disaster for the whingers who cant accept the result of democracy.

The pound is the world's best-performing major currency this month as the BoE's comments suggest it could look past sluggish wage growth to remove the monetary stimulus placed after last year's Brexit...
Oh look, yeah, a currency that had been knocked out has now got to its knees. Let's all crow about being right.
Now watch out for the profit taking...sending the poor sucker back to the canvas.
Inflation at a five year high...but never mind...
The UK always had an inflation problem, and joining the EU was given as one reason to fight inflation, and it did work
leaving the EU will bring back the old demons of the UK,
political scandals, unions, the breakup of the Kingdom etc...
it's going to be fun :)
The Brexit shambles is getting worse with Olly Robins resigning as department head, no doubt hacked off with Davis and his inabilty to negotiate himself out of a wet paper bag. Then we have Boris still convinced of £350m/week savings despite it being shown as complete bollox.
What will PM May be stating in her speech in a few days time? Sorry it was all a big mistake? Brexit means Brexit by 2100? Bye bye Boris? I have a headache?
Total chaos with clueless monkeys desperately trying to back pedal from Brexit means Brexit.
Saw a meme today, can't find it now, but it went like this: "(With a pic of Boris), I'm going to cancel my Netflix and negotiate individually with each film producer to get the best deal for watching their movies."
^^ I read it. Did you read the German papers following that article?
Falsche Zahlen und Brexit-Phantasien.
False numbers and Brexit Imaginations.
Using £350m/week is a clear abuse of public statistics as stated in David Norgrove's public letter of complaint about the article.
You need to read more than just one article to get the picture.
BTW I loved this quote from Manager Magazin:
Englands ewiger Wunsch nach der Extrawurst...
England's eternal desire for the extra sausage...
They have obviously confused Boris with thegent....
2 posts you've made now and both convince me you didn't read his telegraph article as otherwise you'd know what was written as opposed to fake news headlines by sad remoaners. But ignoring the fact that you clearly haven't yet read the article what does it matter if it's 250 mill 350 mill or 450 mill a week that is sent to the EU, the point is the EU and not the UK is deciding how and where UK taxpayers money is spent.
Every post you've made and continue to make on this forum is pointless. The quoted post being another prime example, offers nothing as always. Is your life really that empty that you can't find a better way to fill it other than by making pointless, tedious posts on a forum that you clearly have no desire to contribute anything of any substance to? Now run along and go smear your well done steak with colemans mustard.
May I suggest a little electro shock therapy to bring you and the Belgium gentleman back to economic reality if you can just drag votre amie off the EU tit for 1 second.
Unemployment: Greece 22.5%, Spain 17.7%, Italy 11.3%, France 9.6%, Portugal 9.4%, Belgium 7.7%, EURO AREA 9.3%, Great Britain 4.3%. Shortly to drop when the UK sends all the unemployed Europeans home. Unemployment in the EU has dropped only 1% in 7 years as the EU has no idea how to fix this entrenched problem. The inflexibility of the Euro will damage the weaker European economies and delay recovery for many of them causing more reliance on Euro welfare which is about to lose its second largest contributor. Then there soon will be the need to factor in Merkels millions (of refugees) and the continual financial drain they will cause and continue to cause into the future both in monetary terms and resources. And you're worried about it getting worse in the UK. Jeezus wept.
Saw a good meme today,too. My parents back home have fallen out with the "Barold" neighbors.

in the meantime, in the real word
May government is clueless, frozen by petty inside politics, and doesn' have a plan for Brexit :rofl:
Do you think the negotiations are going well from an EU point of view? What have the EU actually achieved so far with their position?

boris and mogg have got the right ideas about brexit.
call brussels' bluff and go for a hard brexit. we must free ourselves of the eu handcuffs, the handcuffs that are destroying the economies and employment prospects of so many.
the rules that suit germany certainly dont suit the uk.
The EU have not and will not back down from their main principles. That is plainly obvious. If the UK wish to make new trade deals and new custom deals then the will have to pay for the privilege.
It really is as simple as that and no amount of chest beating will change their stance.
Got My first new style £10 note today, it's the same material as the £5 note, are they Brexit money?
when is May next speech ? I need the entertainment :)
When you say 'The EU' you of course mean the EU Negotiators in Brussels, and of course why should they back down. Unemployment in Greece, Spain or anywhere else does not effect them personally and those who are effected cannot vote them out of office or have any influence on their salaries. Germany will ride out any post-Brexit results and Merkel will jerk off Macron (he has a thing for older women I notice) to keep him happy while none of the countries that took the Euro as their currency will dare to say anything in case Merkel turns off the money tap.
It's all going rather well and a little too late for those lesser countries to protest about the EU being turned into Großes Deutschland. The Belgiums of course have only to turn their flag round to get on the team.
where is TheGent ? we need his brilliant inputs and proses, thread is getting boring with all those pro-Brexit loons :)
May I propose one quick lesson in life Troy old chap. The donor gets to say how much he will put in the begging bowl the beggar doesn't get the say. Something those Eu morons are having trouble understanding. In their single minded panic over withdrawal from the Brit Tit they have shown themselves to be money hungry beggars and by so doing have sacrificed any illusion of an upper hand that they appear to have deluded themselves with. Far from being prepared the EU have shown themselves to be totally clueless. Anyone who has had anything to do with negotiating knows the carrot is always negotiated before the stick. The other way round never works.
I think you miss the point HC. It is the UK doing the begging, trying to keep an FTA and stay in the customs union, only without having to pay for the privelege. The panic of no deal before March 2019 is on the UK side. That is why it is the UK that are going to give way not the EU.
The UK and May is going to be anally inserted by the EU with the French going first, with Mr Barnier leading the gang bang :)
Brexit means Brexit means the UK will stay in the EU for a little longer. Another 2 to 3 years to start with
The maybot has spoken but without any real vision for Brexit....except to keep the status quo ...possibly until the brexiteers have either forgotten about it or died off.
What are you talking about, we are leaving the customs union that has been made clear numerous times. How do you come to the conclusion the panic is on the UK side when it is the EU complaining about the lack of progress. Many in the UK myself included would be happy with no deal and just to walk away and the EU can come to us when they are good and ready if they want to access our markets on favourable terms.
The vison is rather quite simple and been explained many times and I still struggle to see why you fail to understand it. We are leaving the EU, the EU will go its way with more federalism and we are going our own way. We will continue to pay our share of the EU budget until the current 7 year term ends something I thought you'd be happy with even though we aren't legally obliged to do so and i'd rather we just told them to take a jump.
The way I'm reading it, the UK through it's previous representations, has committed to it's (read EU) contribution to the current budget period ( through to 2020). Nothing wrong with that, and in truth, nothing less than the UK Government has always been saying about honouring it's commitments. Important to remember that as well as a gross contributor, the UK is still a recipient of the EU's budget spend (regional development blah blah blah). So, to be expected that the UK will continue to receive these funds during the transition period.
Reciprocally, the UK is saying is that for the period 2019/20 or so, as we've funded up our 'obligation', we should expect a reciprocal interim deal on trade etc. Wrong? Maybe. However, as May's speech, whilst not completely homing in on the subject, will be of more interest to EU nationals in the UK for sure. I knew that that there were circa 1,000,000 Poles in the UK, but 600,000 Italians? No idea. Nothing wrong with that (qualify: working, taxes etc etc).
I don't know what the percentage of EU financial migrants per country actually is (though in the UK it appears to be fairly high), but dear oh dear, comparing the typical retiring UK expats to France, Spain, and Italy, does it really compare? How many of UK migrants currently in the EU take advantage of their host country for welfare benefits? I wager very few, and certainly not on the scale of those EU migrants in the UK.
looks like May has surrendered to the French Barnier, despite her tough talk with her illiterate electorate :rofl:
A good speech is one where everyone hears what they want to hear.
The maybot managed to upset every party by telling them something they didn't want to hear. That is, she managed to upset remainers, brexiteers and the EU all at the same time and possibly in equal measure. Tha's quite a feat.
Meanwhile it looks like the UK will be in the EU for a couple of years after Brexit....
