Originally posted by motoukenin View PostInstead of a one liner critique, how about you explain to us all how a nurse who will get no real pay rise over the next 2 years and is now facing higher mortgage / rent costs , food and fuel prices is going to dramatically improve her life as a result of Brexit ?
Appreciate you don't need to apologise that would be the job of Mr Johnson as he quite categorically stated that the economic outlook would not be worse, still it would be helpful for me to understand as I know a nurse back in the UK who is struggling and can pass your comments on.
However I would like to say that the gap between rich and poor has been getting bigger since 1933. And will carry on getting bigger. And Brexit will make it worse.
Tell your nurse friend to never ever vote Tory/Labour again. Even if Korbyn gets in he will turn into Blair. This country needs better politicians and bankers.
I work for a bank. Its incredibly inefficient. How do they stay in business? Its a monopoly.Comment

As to the gap between rich and poor, so what? Surely a more pertinent question is "has the standard of living increased for everyone since 1933 or whatever". The answer is undeniably yes. The poor today have untold riches compared to the poor of 1933. Lets say the gap between rich and poor was only 50%. Would that be good if we were all scrabbling around in the dirt trying to eek out an existence?P.S. What Spreadsheet? Revolutionising the contracting market again.Comment

The modern global economy has brought billions of people out of poverty. The only 'sufferers' (for want of a better word) are the lower middle class, and working class in the G7 countries. The ones who ironically voted for something that will harm them the most in any case.See You Next TuesdayComment
