Nissan chief executive 'confident' after meeting with Theresa May

[woohoo]

This is probably how the UK is going to go over the next decade - no slam-dunk Brexit hits, just Britain becoming less attractive so more business goes elsewhere.

I know it is illogical and petty minded but I have to confess when I hear such things about strongly Brexit areas my first thought is "you made your bed, you can now lie on it". It doesn't help now but maybe in a generation or two, the populace will have learned not to be so stupid when they go the ballot box.

Good story bro, did your mother treat you well as a child?

Pleased to see you’re impressed by Minford’s qualifications. What are your thoughts on QC’s?

Never said I was impressed.

Just pointing out the disparity, in Economics accolades/positions held, between yourself and one of the people you posted disparagingly about, regarding Economics being their strong suit.

Unless of course, you just happen to be an Economics professor at a University and also hold some form of Honour, e.g. CBE, OBE, etc........... BIRRDI

HTH BIDI


QC's? Decent law professionals, made to wear silly out of date clothes. Probably not related to a post regarding Economics though are they, given their specialisation is Law?

No you didn't. You didn't post any of my qualifications at all.

Unless of course, you just happen to be an Economics professor at a University and also hold some form of Honour, e.g. CBE, OBE, etc........... BIRRDI

The fact is, you don't know what qualifications or accolades I hold, do you?

It was related to a post where your only mitigation of Minford is that he holds certain qualifications. You provided no additional analysis on whether you thought they were good or bad qualifications, or whether or not you thought Minford was a good or bad economist.

Therefore, someone holding a qualification appears to be your general logical fallacy, an appeal to authority.

The relevance to QCs is that they also hold qualifications. I believe that a particular QC with qualifications advised contractors that EBTs in the Isle of Man were a good idea and totally legal. Under your logical fallacy though, that QC should be lauded.

A Masters in BS and a large Degree of stupidity is the impression that comes from your posts.

[Bean]

That's for you to do, if you feel you have anything pertinent to Economics, ya know like a CBE awarded for services to Economics, like Minford has.

The fact is, you don't know what qualifications or accolades I hold, do you?

Correct, I was asserting, hence the ""Unless of course, you just happen to be an Economics professor at a University and also hold some form of Honour, e.g. CBE, OBE, etc........... BIRRDI (But I Really Really Doubt It)"
^^^ that was your chance to respond with your own pertinent qualifications, if in fact, I was incorrect and you chose not to...(hmmmm wonder if my assertion was correct?)^^^

Incorrect,
a CBE awarded for services to Economics is a very good qualification, as to receive that, the committees who decide look at all the evidence of that person’s work in the nomination. A CBE medal is presented for all types of different achievement, but in general the person nominated will have had a prominent role either nationally or in their region.

Peer-reviewed publicly-available research is another thing I listed (which in general, QC's will not have either, FFS), which indicates their work is up to a good standard, as otherwise the peers rip it to shreds... still....you can always link to your Economics research and I will retract my earlier post...shall I hold my breath?

The University of Cardiff analysed his qualifications and decided to make him a professor there - are you a Professor of Economics at a University?

The relevance to QCs is that they also hold qualifications. I believe that a particular QC with qualifications advised contractors that EBTs in the Isle of Man were a good idea and totally legal. Under your logical fallacy though, that QC should be lauded.

Completely different topic, (also a strawman too) as clearly stated previously by my prior post and further explained in this one, ya muppet.

Not relevant for me to do, it was you that made the false equivalency.

Correct

Good, we'll leave it at that then.

Cool stories bro. But again, simply an appeal to authority without providing any opinion on whether you think his economic analysis is good or not.

Same topic. You're impressed by appeals to authority.

[Old Greg]

Cool stories bro. But again, simply an appeal to authority without providing any opinion on whether you think his economic analysis is good or not.

It's entirely possible that Minford got his CBE for services to the Tory party agenda. Bean seems to think that the award of a British honour denotes quality in some way. Makes you wonder about Ceausescu, Mussolini and Mugabe.

You realise he has written and spoke about economic analysis unrelated & prior to Brexit don't you? Let's try and make it simple for you...specifically, which of his economic analyses would you like my good/bad opinion on?
(To save time though, yes, in general his economic analyses are good and you can see/confirm this yourself, by looking at the 'Policy Impact' section of the Wikipedia link I posted previously... )


Also, I asked previously;
"are you a Professor of Economics at a University?" - you gave no response..... so until YOU correct 'the record', there's no reason why the assertion shouldn't stand, as you've had multiple opportunities to list why you think you're more qualified and 'allowed' to trash Minford...


So you still haven't posted your own qualification, pertinent to the subject at hand (Economics) and are still happy to trash someone who does, basically due to disagreeing with some (regarding Brexit) of what they say (which is a whole lot more than just regarding Brexit)?
Fantastic.

Or in words that you apparently understand... cool story bro

Were they awarded a CBE for services to Economics too, also do they still have their UK honours?...
