Unemployment rate falls to 4.3% as wages stagnate

We in the UK are positioning ourselves to look outwards to the rest of the world and beyond as the human race starts to populate the rest of the solar system.

Making alliances and trade agreements is looking outwards. Destroying them, as Brexit is doing, is inward.

Not if by making an agreement with one you are then restricted with making agreements with others.

Far-right Breitbart 'deliberately twisted' German New Year's Eve mob story into 'fake news' | The Independent

I would rather have a factual account.

OK then, how about the Guardian or is that horribly biased and peddling fake news?

A ferocious debate has erupted in Germany over the handling of mass sexual assaults and muggings carried out by groups of young males during New Year’s Eve celebrations in Cologne, amid accusations of a police and media cover-up over fears of whipping up anti-foreigner sentiment in the wake of the migrant crisis.

About 100 complaints have now been made to police, two-thirds of which are linked to sexual assault, including two rapes. According to police and witnesses, the perpetrators were of north African and Arab appearance, although neither the identity nor origin of any of them has so far been established.

Well that says a lot for your reading habits

Mostly for comedic value, but my mind is most certainly not of the "closed clam" variety of the average SJW poster.

So presumably you take Breitbart and their ilk seriously then Or do you just look at the pictures in the Daily Mail?

If your eyes were a reliable indicator of the state of the economy you'd probably have a much more interesting job than IT contracting

I'm not an IT Contractor

Jus' saying that in the area I live it feels like the economy is firing on all cylinders. From talking with friends and family throughout the UK the story is much the same. Maybe you just live in a deprived area?

It certainly does not feel like we are on a precipice about to drop off a BREXIT-induced cliff onto the sharp, jaggedy rocks of depression.

So maybe, just maybe, this whole BREXIT malarky won't have much economic effect at all.

Maybe politicians and politics everywhere don't actually have that great effect on peoples lives and maybe its individual companies and consumers across the world who each make individual decisions based on their own best interests that drive things forward and upward.

Ask me again in 12 months time. We should be at "Peak Uncertainty" by then.

I don't take anyone seriously who's avatar says "It's not racist to deport the TORIES" does that help?

Amazing isn't it? Soon there'll be no unemployed working able people left in the UK.

What's really going on here? Tory's doing a first class job managing the economy? Cause the economy or productivity levels don't appear to be improving, in fact the reverse.

Or an ever increasing ageing population with fewer employable people messing up the stats?
