    Brexit affecting the economy again!

    https://www.theguardian.com/money/20...al-40-year-low

    UK wages rise faster than expected amid lowest jobless rate in 40 years
    Or as the Guardian spins it:

    Falling number of EU workers in Britain compounds businesses’ recruitment woes


    Record employment and wages rising very quickly is bad news clearly. I blame Brexit.

    No investment in plant and machinery = hire more bods instead.

    Which explains why productivity (which is the only thing that can make a country rich in the long run) is so poor:

      'Productivity puzzle' weighs on UK growth
      It's not puzzle, it is because we are still in the EU.

        In or out, productivity in the UK will be tulip. Post Brexit it will decline even more as the clever people fook orf.

        Like I said, HTH, BIDI, TSLITH.

                Indeed. Although to be fair, Brexit was a relatively small part of the trigger to move.
                Been contemplating it for years - twas obvious the UK is fooked - too badly managed by the political class, nothing to do with the EU.
                What I want to see now is Bozo as PM, JRM as Chancellor and Liam Fox as Home secretary.
                Then the country will have got what it deserves.

                  I don't think we should overegg the pudding. You have fooked off abroad............that's more than enough good news to be going on with.

                    Which fantasy land are you living in now?

                    Wakanda?

                    Shangri-La?

                    Narnia?

                    Or Brussels?
