Top Cats Hat Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 (edited) " Cataclysm" Wow another scary word thrown into the argument When are the plagues of locusts due ? Please tell so I can protect my vegetable garden The problem with your position is that EVERY reputable economic forecaster predicts that leaving the EU will be very damaging for our economy at best and a total disaster at worst. If I asked you to provide a credible economic assessment which shows that the UK would actually be better off outside the EU, I guarantee you would not be able to do so. I have asked repeatedly on this and other threads for such evidence and all anyone can ever come up with are links to highly partial articles in the Mail, Sun or Express which claim that the UK economy is improving slightly. So constantly accusing Remainers of scaremongering while at the same time refusing to provide any evidence to the contrary makes you look stupid or worse, someone who really doesn't care what the consequences are as long as your extreme xenophobic political aspirations are achieved. If you refuse to seriously consider credible economic arguments you may as well still believe in Santa Claus or goblins. Maybe you do. Edited to add: If even your own pro-Brexit government's economic reports are so negative in their outlook that the government tried to hide them from MPs, never mind the people, does that not make you stop and think that this whole thing may not be a particularly good idea?

May be I do and Maybe im sick to the back teeth of certain people pulling this country down . It will still be here after brexit , whatever the naysayers ( losers ) say . Fully expecting a comeback saying we will be losers but you know what, so be it . ---------- Post added 30-05-2018 at 23:40 ---------- You are?

Top Cats Hat Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Maybe im sick to the back teeth of certain people pulling this country down. This claim always amuses me! Tell me this. Who cares more about this country? Those who see real harm on the horizon and try to warn others of that harm or those who don't seem to care what happens to the country one way or another as long as their narrow ideological wishes are fulfilled?

And tens of thousands of people with them, at a ratio of precisely 1:1 How is that going to affect the unemployment figures? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
