Politics So...Europe then?

Which is ludicrous given Trump is going to crush Clinton.

Not likely atm, but Khans announcement will help.

He's not an idiot, actually a very shrewd and intelligent man.
He's just reached that age where everyone realises what a crock of shit everyone talks and has decided to become the chief of it.

BoE is stating a brexit could cause a recession, although I'm fairly sure recent figures show it heading that way any which no doubt can be blamed on just talking about a brexit atm.

 

[Scouse]

The so called 'experts' at the Bank Of England are just another lot in long line of people or institutions stating an opinion that annoys me because it's at odds with what I want. As usual I'll disregard their analysis and make a conspiracy punt that the BoE will blame the 'inevitable' recession on the thing that I want despite that thing definitely NOT being at fault. Not at all. Nosiree.

Fixed.

 

[Raven]

Well seeing as its a global blip...it has nothing to do with the vote.

Besides which, most of the time the BoE are wrong anyway, as are the IMF.

 

[Scouse]

It's OK. Disregard all expert analysis. The man on the street's 'gut feeling' is definitely a better decision making implement.

 

[Raven]

Ignoring people with a vested interest in the status quo.

Yup

 

[Scouse]

Ignoring all argument counter to what I want

Fixed.

 

[Raven]

No. Yet to see one. All I see is a negative campaign run by the establishment. Its not like you have been able to provide a single argument youself either, just doing as you are told, good boy.

 

[Scouse]

negative campaign run by the establishment

The Bank of England give their economic analysis of Brexit and the tin foil hatters run out and go "negative campaign".

How exactly are they supposed to say "may be a recession due to Brexit" in a positive way?

That thinking is childisly pathetic - because it means that any institution that comes out and says "brexit is bad because..." gets auto-ignored by the "la la la la I'm not listening" brigade.

 

[Bodhi]

I smell of wee and poo.

Is that really the level you've reached?

 

[DaGaffer]

No. Yet to see one. All I see is a negative campaign run by the establishment. Its not like you have been able to provide a single argument youself either, just doing as you are told, good boy.

Just like the Scottish referendum; of course it turns out in that case the "establishment" were 100% correct. Of course YMMV.

 

[Raven]

Well exactly, and as everyone is talking a lot of bollocks and maybes then I won't listen to them all that much.

What is interesting is people that called bollocks pre-general election are now so ready to listen to them, just because they support their opinion.

The financials are pretty much an unknown and anyone claiming to know what will happen is clearly full of shit and should be ignored.

The things we can see though are more than enough to fuck it off. Complete melt down under pressure relating to the migrant crisis, downright shenanigans over the trade deal. Fucking about destabilising other countries, and so on.

 

[Embattle]

Could this, could that, could etc....from all sides.

 

[Job]

The argument is entirely around tiny changes to the economy, they are all wild guesses and whatever happens people will spin the outcome to match their prediction simply because these things are highly volatile anway.
I want to leave the EU because it his heading Europe to disaster on the road to good intentions.

 

[Bodhi]

It's OK. Disregard all expert analysis. The man on the street's 'gut feeling' is definitely a better decision making implement.

It is when it's Mark Carney. Going by some of his previous "expert" predictions, the man in the street would have more luck simply by flipping a coin.....

 

[Scouse]

Just checking - are we ignoring the IMF too today?

Yep? Good. Wouldn't want that to get in the way of the Euro Hate

 

[Raven]

Yep.

 

[Bodhi]

George Osborne backs Christine Lagarde for second term at IMF

And she agrees with Osborne, funny that. What's more some of her proclamations in the past have looked slightly dubious.

IMF accepts it was wrong on George Osborne's austerity

Nice appeal to authority however.

 

[Job]

IMF don't hold much sway tbh after their showing with Greece.
I would have a lot more respect for her if she came out and said they
wouldn't be lending us a penny in future, because we are miserable gits'

As it is the big money people hate uncertainty and her job is keeping the lenders happy.

Hold it, just found out Abba have said they would be upset if we left.....bastards have pulled out the big guns.

EU Paid €160 Million to Pro-Remain Groups

Explains many many things....

 

[Job]

I guess they're allowed to fund their own campaign, just depends if they made it clear from the start they would do that.

 

[Scouse]

We ignoring Tory Ex-Prime Ministers who say Brexiter's claims "do not bear factual scrutiny" too?

 

[Scouse]

Explains many many things....

Yeah, the IMF have definitely been bought with their hundred and sixty thousand euros.

That website's looking more like the National Inquirer all the time.
