    Is the current growth rate of the U.K. due to:

    1. The fundamental and long term strength of the UK economy compared with Europe

    Or

    2. A QE, low interest fuelled, cheap money short-lived consumer splurge

    ?
    Technically the growth rate as commonly, reported has been down to increased population, mainly through immigration.

      Yes, of course it is. We went through something similar with 'Better Red Than Dead' in the 80s. We were then accused of being the 51st State of the USA. instead we became the 28th State of the Federation of the EU. I would take the US any day. If Trump has his way the EU will cease to exist.

        Are you mad?

        Trump is proving he's a complete vain madman.

                You would really prefer to be in a society where:

                Large sections of the population are actually angry that there is a law in place that guarantees health insurance to the poorest.

                Thousands are killed every year from gun shootings including hundreds of kids.

                Food standards are some of the lowest in the developed world

                Sorry but even outside the EU I would much rather the UK formed new strategic alliances with former colonies, than getting closer to the US.

                    You know most people consider the US as the most strategic trading partner in the world? Ignoring them when we are desperate for trade seems silly. Despite all the hatred the US doesn't start to compare to the Middle East, China, Taiwan & Korea for unpleasantness.

                      Presumably that's why the UK wants a few of those countries as strategic trading partners
                      Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.
