How are the BRIC countries doing now?
No. I mean Brazil, Russia, India and China.You mean those in dire straights because of THE CURRENCY WE DON'T USE? Those countries?
Is that you Eddie?I can't believe the outers are ahead in the BM poll. Shame on your silly, nationalistic arses.
It's money for nothingYou mean those in dire straights because of THE CURRENCY WE DON'T USE? Those countries?
If in doubt, he should google.It's money for nothing
Well the ´B´ one is doing really shit.How are the BRIC countries doing now?
Ah no, that was my Dire Staits pun... Money For Nothing - it's Friday afternoon and I've had a beer!If in doubt, he should google.
Yeah. It's why I asked as he was referencing Brazil 2005-10.Well the ´B´ one is doing really shit.

I thought the clue would have been there for him.
And the debate has been much poorer because of it.You don’t expect decent analysis do you? He just pushes an agenda and trolls the fuck out of everyone.
It´s why Brazil has free movement, and I can live here without doing the paperwork for a visa. Oh wait No, I did a visa. Took me 20 minutes of waiting in line.No he will be right. The bric countries will be in the Eu and always will have been and he will argue it until the end of time. Even with Google.
The growth hasn't declined:

It has levelled... but the graph you were showing wasn't growth, it was as a world percentage. In world percentage terms, the EU share has declined, but the actual output hasn't.
Obviously if you go back to 2006, the rate of growth is less, but the current 'trend' isn't declining.
No. I mean Brazil, Russia, India and China.
How would BRIC equate to euro zone in your mind?
Lol. Fair play. That actually made me laugh.Sorry I was having a complete brain-fart - I read it as the PIGS, not the BRICs. Apologies.
In retrospect reading the initial argument I posed the graph used was not the correct one because I can't access the telegraph one I wanted any longer (asks for a subscription now) which had the decline of economic activity between the UK and the EU so I will retract that particular strand of the argument in the context of the projected decline in the eu on the basis of a world percentage.
So apologies to yourself, Chippy and Grudge for the sarcy comments - but I won't retract the premise of the argument I was making which as usual kind of gets lost on these boards- I have made a note to get the correct graph in any future posting!
