Is the Eu heading for recession?

[darmstadt]

Remember 2008? The EU was going to explode with Greece going thermonuclear. Strange those skeptic EU types are not shouting to loud these days. Where's JRM and Bojo? Not a peep for a month or so.

Actually JRM was on Radio 2 this afternoon being arrogant and spouting off through his back teeth...

Had the foresight... but nowadays it seems to be needed every winter.

Not this one in the majority of the country... so far!

Supposed to get colder and colder towards end of the month

Although colder and colder seemed to imply it may get to about 3 or 4

eee back in my day cold meant cold - none of your positive figures

scrape the ice of the inside of the window, had to break the ice on the loo to do a turd


but kids nowadays expect it to be summer all the time I don't know why but i blame the EU.

[NotAllThere]

Britain has the foresight to not spend loads of money on things which may only be needed once a decade...

Britain has a well documented inability to handle winter.

The economy is like a garden. Sometimes it is summer. Sometimes it is winter.

And yes I did get that from a film......

the UK exports very little to China and doesn't really produce anything they want.

One Brexiter argued that Britain exports Crabs to China(!).

So lets shut down the banks and focus all our energy on catching crabs.

[BlasterBates]

What the Brexiteers need to ask themselves is what do they mean by "trading with the rest of the world" instead of the EU, the rest of the world is essentially China and US.

Trump is shoving up trade barriers and the UK exports very little to China and doesn't really produce anything they want.

Seems like everyones running the same story

The same story being that China sneezes and the rest of us catch a cold.

[Old Greg]

Could be. Try googling 'Is the world heading for recession'.

A hard Brexit would be just the job to save the UK from a global turndown.
