    Quality journalism clearly.
    It is clumsy wording and probably deliberately so, but in no world is the UK going to bridge the 40% GDP gap to Germany in six years.

    However, re-read the article and you'll see that it is India that will overtake Germany in six years, having overtaken the UK this year. (India having a 5%(ish) annual GDP growth rates).

    The CEBR report also refer to UK performance 'on current trends'. Current trends are based on us being in the EU, and with good inward migration of a young workforce. A drop in young migrants working here will harm the economy.

    Therefore Orange Man Bad and so America's economy will be bad - regardless of what actually happens.

    Brexit is bad and the EU is great therefore the UK will fail after Brexit.

    It seems there is no interest in actually putting together a debate based on fact and trying to fathom what could happen by extrapolating from these facts using logical deduction.

    I guess mainly because it does not get likes n clicks.
    The irony is strong with this one

    No point in putting stuff on the internet for people who do not immediately post it on every social media channel to create outrage if your goal is to get your name in the lights.

    If you catch my drift!
    You mean the Daily Mail readers?

    Your post is illogical. If “the masses” support the point of view that they want Brexit, then we should be hearing no end of stories on how Brexit will be great.
