I1L2T3 Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Jackanory Jackanory Jack................. Weren't you one of those who were quite gleeful on here about one million people dying since the referendum? And the fact that most of them are likely to have voted for brexit. You lost any respect you might have had then, showing no regard at all for the relatives and friends of those people. Personal attacks again.....if you want to call me a liar just say it. But just a warning I really don’t care - you’d be surprised how rarely I use the report button And no I’m not gleeful people are dying. I was merely pointing out in terms of voter demographics what the reality of the numbers game is with Brexit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Car Boot Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Just leave them to it already. They're just like teenagers, sometime you have to let them make the big mistakes themselves, no other way for them to learn and graduate to adulthood Oh dear. The smug sense of superiority exhibited by some establishment conformist Remainers is breathtaking. Sneering at the majority for voting for an opportunity to open up the UK to the 21st Century world, embrace independence and leave behind the stifling, sclerotic and failing EU. However did we manage before we joined the EU? To some establishment conformists, 1973 is Year Zero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope it's not the big mistake you think we are making.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Litotes Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Facts, please people, facts. Like show that inflation hasn't gone up to 3.1% because of the devaluation of the pound and the increased cost of food due to the lack of workers. Like show that David Davis didn't just devalue the agreement by saying it was "A statement of intent" Like where is the data to back up your claims, Car Boot, apelike, gomgeg... Dissing others opinions is ok, but back it up with facts to diss their claims Otherwise we may as well be a gossip column. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the Office for National Statistics, between July and September 2017 there were 32.06 million people in work in the UK. 279,000 more than a year earlier. How does having that many more workers more than a year ago equate to "a lack of workers"? Perhaps an establishment conformist Remainer might explain?

Cyclone Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 The member of the fractionally larger voting block calls members of smalling group "conformist", probably fails to see the irony. ---------- Post added 13-12-2017 at 08:40 ---------- Food inflation is anecdotally higher than the overall rate https://www.theguardian.com/business/2017/nov/14/rising-uk-food-prices-inflation This was written 4 years ago! Food prices rose in annual terms for the first time in more than two-and-a-half years with a wide range of items contributing to the pick-up. There were particularly large price rises for certain vegetables, consistent with reports of poor growing conditions in southern Europe, the ONS said. For example, the price of an iceberg lettuce increased by 67.2% between January and February. Reading around it further, it appears that currently it's the weakness of the pound that is driving up prices, oil has also increased in cost and technology companies were quick to increase prices when the £ value fell. All adding to inflation generally. Wages on the other hand are way behind, meaning that peoples standard of living is being gradually eroded. Well done brexit. Sovrinty.

PS For someone who knocks uturns how come you want a brexit one.. OK about the trade body: https://www.hortweek.com/governments-lack-action-labour-means-growers-face-crisis-say-providers/fresh-produce/article/1451180 "More than half said their clients have had to increase wage rates to attract workers, while three-quarters of providers have themselves had to invest more money and resources into sourcing workers, so increasing the cost of labour supply."

Cyclone Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Increased pay is good, except that it obviously increases costs. We can't have it both ways, we want people to be paid fairly, that'll mean more expensive potatoes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Increased wages = increased costs = increased prices = increasing inflation Hmmm.........anybody seen the news this week Not like there weren’t any warning about this So I’m gonna ask one of the question I asked last week. what is acceptable to Brexiters: 5, 10 or 15% inflation? Where’s the red line, the point where you realise the economy is getting wrecked? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
