If that was the edited version, I'd hate to see what the original comment was...

Put a b in plums.

unless interests rates rocket to arrest runaway inflation

I don’t think the coming fun will be able to be controlled the way traditional economists would expect to.

The MBA play book for the idiots in charge of most of the largest companies has been to strap massive debts to their ballance sheets. The thought was having the debt to repay makes the business more focused (seriously were did these idiots turn up from???) either way.

Screwing the mortgage owners will blow large holes in our business sector as well. So in effect we have an inhuman shield.

I think the most exiting part about this is the fact that the experts are going to have to prove their intelligence

They may well throw off the shackles but the only debt I have left is a mortgage and it will be quite handy if I could have a quick dose of 1970s inflation to turn it from a 9 year debt to a the equivalent of a small car loan...

The EU have nurtured Greece so that they now can enjoy sustainable growth for the forseeable future.

Greece on brink of return to sustainable growth, economists believe*

Left to their own devices they probably would have become a permanent basket case like Argentina and as the UK will become when it can throw off the shackles of fiscal responsibility.

Brexit: Theresa May's speech leaves Germans unmoved as continental press warns of 'problems' in UK's approach | The Independent



Lets face it the government has no other plan than to stay in the EU for an extra two years.

The best 'Brexit' we can get from a Tory govt is the kind of fudge May is offering. There is simply no way to reconcile the positions of the Hammond/Rudd wing with the Borris/Gove wing. May has kicked the ball down the road and in 2021 it will be kicked again till after the election The election of 2022(assuming this excuse of a govt lasts that long) will be quite interesting. The conservatives will need to select a new leader and that will be an almighty blood bath between leavers and remain. That coupled with the soft economic growth at best could sweep Jeza into No 10 (Maybe in a grand coaliton with the SNP and Lib Dems)
All in all it seems the cunning plan is to drag this all out to the next election in the ope of getting a new govt that is sympathetic to 'A very soft Brexit'
BTW what is Liam Fox supposed to be doing between now and 2021? Talk about a cushy number

Let’s look at the past 10 years from a different angle. For the previous ten years before the crash it was fine to lend money to people that could never afford the loan. One morning that was not the case and the system ground to a halt and enough of the tulip hit the fans for a bailout or two.

The next ten years provided me with more money than I have ever seen before because I am a good problem solver and the world likes my sort of skills.

All that can happen for me is a bit of short term hardship if day rates plummet but I have already set myself up to halve the amount of money I need from my business so I can make that commitment. Many cannot and they will go to the wall making the market better for me.

We are not in this together we never have been. Greece showed us what the EU was about when it came to support. Why should I care if I am out of their reaches...

I think there is no doubt that Corbyn and his lot will get into power, especially when the Tories, as you say, self destruct.
DO you think the country will actually thrive on WTO rules?
In spite of the Brexit vote there is no real appetite for serious economic distress, except from maybe 50% of the Brexiters (which is a minority in the population as a whole).
That is what you Brexiters have wrought - economic destabilisation (I use the word carefully) at best, certainly 70s style socialism.

Manfred Weber, an MEP for the conservative CSU, Ms Merkel’s sister party in Bavaria, also raised concerns at the lack of detail.

In a tweet, he said: “In substance PM May is bringing no more clarity to London’s positions. I am even more concerned now.”

Lets face it the government has no other plan than to stay in the EU for an extra two years.

Jacob Rees-Mogg rejects the speech

NIgel Farage considers donning khaki

The terms "square one" and "back to" spring to mind.

Sums it up very well. There is one point missing in your theory. The Tories have been infighting over the subject of Brexit for more than thirty years. May is on borrowed time to do the duty. The Eurosceptics will come for her with avengence if they get a whiff of backtracking. I’m guessing they will hang her out to dry inside two years. At which point we will go sailing over the edge on WTO rules before Corbin or any of the other chunts have a chance to stop it.
