Originally posted by simondolan View PostInflation is what it was in 2012 - before the vote. And still historically low. Sterling back to where it was in late 2016. Your contention then I guess is that nurses were better off then?
That may have been OK pre Brexit as inflation was very low, now we have inflation at around 2.8% and rising all as a result of Brexit , god forbid we don't go out on WTO rules as that will cause inflation to rise faster , but nurses still are not being given a pay rise and Mr Johnson told everyone , I remember it well , that Brexit would not cause any economic decline if people voted to leave.
Just exposing lies of Tory government , I accept Brexit and you may find it surprising that I also support some of its benefits, but I do believe they now deserve an apology from Mr Johnson.Warning unicorn meat may give you hallucinationsComment

Originally posted by NigelJK View PostI'd disagree, but it's also worth noting that the other sides lies were easier to expose.
So what are you hoping to achieve with your hot air and waste of effort?
Probably won't achieve a lot but for people on low incomes getting the right facts out is important.Warning unicorn meat may give you hallucinationsComment

Post-referendum it's largely irrelevant 'wot won it' (bit like the Blair Government getting in for a third term when they'd basically bankrupted the country).
If by facts you mean the constant political 'briefings' to the media, these are not facts they are predictions with a particular slant (on either side). T
he sooner we get shot of a layer of policitocs the better, and why stop there we need 'small' government.Comment

Originally posted by simondolan View PostStraw man argument rather than extrapolation, but taking that into account - what examples can you give of the assertion you made that countries with less disparity between rich and poor (which remember is always relative) are indeed "happier" or "more content"
Unfortunately happiness cannot be quantified so is not a useful measure of anything.
Although the murder rate can be quantified and does appear to correlate with inequality.
