Well we have to take a breather after being the fastest growing in the past 2 years..  ⁹ And you still hsvent caught up. Notwithstanding replying to nothing in my previous post. Correct - that puts us in the same boat as Spain and Germany. Unlikely bedfellows i know..  |

news.sky.com/story/uk-economy-to-fare-worse-than-any-other-country-in-developed-world-this-year-imf-forecasts-12799201UK economy set to fare worse than any other country in developed world this year, IMF forecasts The International Monetary Fund says the country's growth is being held back by more miserly government spending and the effects of high energy prices - and that the economy will even lag behind Russia's in 2023. Etc. Look. I and almost everyone in the known world knows the UK economy is in quicksand. And instead of ignoring it, changing the subject or posting irrelevancies, it hurts me too. I happen to have investments in the UK which are as vulnerable as anyone elses and it makes my blood boil to see a government full of lying sneaky brexiteers squandering money, not seeing past the nwxt election to put the country un a better position for the future and forcing those who work for the state (including my tax money) to live in penury. And you refuse to acknowledge it, if you do understand it, by playing Personal Insult. It is people like you who were told there were unicorns and are still sitting in the woods waiting for at least one to appear. The appreciation of the fool who wrote the thread title is blatantly clear. The fact may bw so but it does not compare it to the context of the current position of its economy but how the rest are doing. It is meaningless. No amount of your desperate attempts to prove the stupendous success of brexit will alter the fact that those who lied to you in 2016 have been proven to have screwed up the UK economy and have no idea what to do about it. Because they never understood what they were doing 7 years ago either. And you still defend these fools. It must be because you take Brexit personally and cant bear to admit you were scammed. The ROW knows, though.

The economic data speaks for itself.
Above inflation growth, an additional £40bn worth of exports to the EU over what we were selling in the days of membership.
Most of the rest of the world isn't in the EU.
The EU doesn't work.

Indeed - and had you read the actual report you will see that the IMF is forecasting that the UK will grow faster that Germany, Italy and France in 2025, 2026, 2027 & 2028.. Disastrous I know.. Well the IMF certainly does.. |

Consider a jug.
When you put a pint of water into a nearly empty one, the percentage of growth is large.
When you add a pint to a nearly full one, the percentage of growth is smaller.
Now do you know how to read your own statistics??
BTW an increase of 40 billion over a year is tiny. Economies talk in trillions.

I thought you were complaining about the IMF's forecasts of growth for the UK - now you are saying they dont matter? If you are interested in IMF predictions what about this one?  |

Loser cultists will never get over it.
No matter how successful we are, they want back into the cozy apron of failure, we'd be £40-£50bn a year worse off each year if they had their way.

Evidence is there, despite our government failing to capitalise on all the benefits, and remoaners bitching about it, Brexit is a success.

Are you saying last years figures are a real term adjustment to today's prices?
Also can you give us a breakdown in exports that have increased to the US? It seems like rather abnormal to me, so I would be interested to know what they are buying more of.

We want to develop our far Eastern trade. China looks like it is into buying a fair bit from us and as they get richer they will hopefully buy more, but the Chinese market is one where the customer is in control. Say bad shit about Chinese and the customer will sanction you, not the government. Be decent towards them and they will buy from you and not the ones who they disagree with. What our government does reflects what the Chinese consumer decides to buy. It can work to your advantage and equally to your disadvantage. |

China is a fucking dictatorship and large parts of the Chinese population are on slave wages.
Until China reforms we should not exploit the shit situation with their government and with sweatshops.
Singapore, Taiwan etc, which are democratic, trade with them by all means. But not China.
No trading with dictatorships.

For heavens sake.
The west has been trading for over 1000 years.
Other than boycotts trade does not consider the way nations are goverened as long as they obey the WTO rules.
I doubt China would miss your custom.
