On this forum, as in society as a whole, Brexiters are on the thick end ...

Well the former Chancellor's newspaper has spotted it but will the Brexiteers ?

Potential 30 billion debt hole

Doubt it. one of the Brexiters was only the other day talking about the "powerhouse British economy".
Stupidity on that level is beyond parody

[xoggoth]

Ah yes. Never had any debt problems in the Eurozone countries have they?

Xoggy don't engage, if its bad it must be Britain if its really bad it can't be the EUSSR.

The good thing is most of the Bremoaners are leaving the UK thanks to Brexit!

Most of the Bremainers left the UK BEFORE we voted to Brexit.

That is why they are all gurning into their consomme now as they are concerned about their own personal positions. Nothing to do with what might be better or worse for the UK as a whole.

Plain old-fashioned self-interest, nothing more nothing less.

Perfectly understandable to vote selfishly of course, but at least have the stones to admit it instead of subjecting the rest of us to all this hypocritically pious waffle.

You mean government debt. Well on that score the UK is no better than the Eurozone.

The difference though is that the UK's debt is growing twice as fast as the Eurozone.

In any case that 30 billion bubble is private consumer debt, i.e. the UK economy will be blown apart if there is a recession.

Thats like trying to argue that it is better to swim in a ocean of tulip rather than a sea.

Either way you are still swimming in tulip.

However a sea is smaller than an ocean and therefore easier to get out of.

This doesn't seem so bad:

British manufacturing now eighth largest in the world | City A.M.

Ahh yes but it relies on 'insert company name here' and then 'insert negative rhetoric here'

So there you go.

So there you go.

And how much of that manufacturing is composed of foreign companies who are based here because they have hitherto had access to the single market?
This thread was predicated on the fact that Brexiters are on the thick end of the IQ scale.
You're not meant to make my assertion so easy to prove.
