Another new Brexit thread

[aguerrrroooooooooooo]

Did honestly think the claim was the UK doing better than the whole Eurozone combined?

The good news is the IMF think we’ll be 3rd fastest in the G7, beating France and Germany.

The type of deal will affect the predictions for sure, but it’s a positive sign at least and predictions like this will prompt companies to invest.

That's what the original commenter said to me mate

 

[aguerrrroooooooooooo]

Christ how thick are you.

Quite thick, but still not dumb enough to post from order-order.com as if it's an authoritative source

the source is the imf go on their website, it’s reported 8n the independent telegraph times even itv news go and have a butchers. Good news isn’t it?

 

[aguerrrroooooooooooo]

Then why not post from the IMF? Oh yeah of course because your source had a misleading title to back up your original comment that the UK will be growing faster than the eurozone.

https://www.itv.com/news/2020-01-20/brexit-international-monetary-fund-forecast-imf-britain-growth/

From an actual credible source (i.e not one that has Guido Fawkes plastered all over their website): It predicts that growth will “stabilise” at 1.4% in 2020 and 1% in 2021, weak by UK historical standards but growth none-the-less and stronger growth than the IMF is predicting for Germany, France and Japan.

Yes it is, but don't post deliberately misleading comments.

I know taking the wording literally it says the Eurozone but I think he definitely meant individual countries in the Eurozone and I thought that was the context involved. I don’t think any country could beat the biggest trading bloc in world history GDP wise but it will as a percentage.

This graph, marked Source IMF. clearly shows uk outperforming eurozone, France, Germany.
EDIT But its just a forecast, remember

Yes it is, but don't post deliberately misleading comments.

there is absolutely nothing misleading in my post whatsoever you are just too thick to understand that when you are talking about growth the imf as a comparator do it on a percentage basis. Funnily enough they don’t add up all the gdps of each country ?

The uk isn’t gong to have in absolute monetary terms a higher gross domestic product than 27 countries combined is it?

the imf don’t concern themselves with such matters as they could ask a 5 year old the answer to that.

He's just playing silly buggers.

or when you find the article today in the news that says the IMF are now predicting that the U.K. post Brexit will grow faster than the eurozone

MY exact words, note the words GROW FASTER.

Cannot highlight or stress the intentions in bold enough.

This made me realise that there is a third question this raises.

Audi are a German car manufacturer. Germany is in the EU. They are selling cars to both Europe and China. Why do we have to leave to do the same?

You think that was all brexit was about?

It was about ending the political relationship with EU members.

My experience is that ppl who make clever clever remarks like that do so because they are either dumb or intellectually dishonest. Which are you? I just posted the ref to help you.

?? Why is that a "clever" remark rather than an "accurate" remark? You posted a link behind a paywall, but other sources seem to agree that the IMF specified France and Germany, but don't give detail forecasts for the other Eurozone countries. Has anyone found the original forecast?

 

[Vic]

good news isn’t it

Depends what you think UK growth would have been without the "self-harm" caused by Brexit (which is what the IMF thinks Brexit is).

We don't. EU members can trade with whomsoever they like on wto rules. The restriction is on signing a trade agreement which varies these rules.

so how do you explain France and Germany ? They are staying in but we are predicted to grow faster now oustside , seems the imf have changed their tune.

Nope you're correct my mistake. Happy to admit I've made a mistake.

Wow, just wow. It's growth in GDP, not GDP, that's being compared. It doesn't matter what the total GDP is. And you call others thick!

So this wasn't you that emboldened this?

"So if you were a car maker in this case, would you want a trade deal with the EU or would you want a trade deal with China? But, just imagine if there was an option for both.... Isn't that the entire goal of Brexit?"

And you added:

"Cannot highlight or stress the intentions in bold enough."
