Oh God help. I agree with assguru. I need a lie down.

The reason no-one invests in new technology is because we import cheap labour aka immigrants. The sooner we get rid of all the immigrants and invest, the sooner our productivity will rise. If only we had voted to leave the EU instead of stay.....

Which fantasy land are you living in now?

Wakanda?

Shangri-La?

Narnia?

Or Brussels?

The first three have all signed free trade agreements with Brextopia.

In his head?
All of the above.

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.

A Brexit dividend for all of us!

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.

[DimPrawn]

No.

I guess you are still living in the UK then?

No.

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.

Or as the Guardian spins it:





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

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

UK wages rise faster than expected amid lowest jobless rate in 40 years

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.
