Originally posted by The_Equalizer View PostLevels of immigration have been unprecedent. Not entirely due to our EU membership, but that was a factor and, like all such events, it's not just one thing. Take the piss out of someone's genuine concerns and you're likely to get a two fingered response.
I can of course see that Brexiteers will be reacting crossly to the clever meanies, as it dawns on them that they've screwed up the economy. We are nearly there though. We see less and less of Brexiteers claiming it's going to work out great. It's increasingly about whose fault the mess is.Comment

Originally posted by WTFH View PostStick the Greenland GDP graph over the UK one and tell me where the massive difference is.
Well Greenland left in 1985 and look to be doing OK...
Not much of a difference to their economic growth compared to ours.
So how come Sweden, Finland, and Austria had five years of flat/falling GDP when they joined the EU?Last edited by PurpleGorilla; 16 August 2017, 13:41.Comment
