Actually I see the Slavic countries strongly against Brexit because they are receivers...not contributors

I answered your question, are you going to be like NotaNumber and just keep changing the subject?
Why do the Alt-Right do this?
Is it because they have no answers and their arguments don't stand up to scrutiny?

The UK Economy Despite Brexit!
Jeff Taylor
Published on 10 Sep 2019
So with 51 days to go to the official Brexit Day, what is happening to the UK economy?
I thought I'd take this opportunity to give you a short update on some of the data coming out of the Office for National Statistics about the UK economy.
You know, the despite Brexit bit.
Firstly, our balance of trade.
The total UK trade deficit, that's both goods and services, narrowed by £14.9 billion to just £2.9 billion in the three months to July.
Now, let's point out that this is largely due to a hefty drop in the imports of goods now that the Project Fear warehouses are all full and imports will get back to their normal levels over the next few months.
On GDP, after the contraction we saw of 0.2% in the three months to June together with warnings of an impending recession, the three months to July saw GDP remain steady at zero growth.
But in July alone, the UK economy saw GDP rise by 0.3%.
And on employment, the UK employment rate in the three months to July was 76.1% the joint highest on record. And at 3.8% the unemployment rate is lower than the same time last year.
And the economic inactivity rate has also fallen to 20.8%, once again lower than last year.
Overall the Labour Force Survey estimates that there were 32.78 million people aged 16 and over in employment - that's 369,000 more than last year.
And the latest inflation figures are for July and CPI was 2.1%, just about on the government target of 2%
And let's look at wages shall we?
On this the ONS says:
Estimated annual growth in average weekly earnings for employees in Great Britain was 4.0% for total pay, which includes bonuses, and 3.8% for regular pay, which excludes bonuses.
"In real terms (after adjusting for inflation), annual growth in total pay is estimated to be 2.1% and annual growth in regular pay is estimated to be 1.9%." Said the ONS.
So that's real wage increases.
And all this is not despite Brexit, it's despite the best attempts by many in Parliament and the wider establishment to suffocate the economy in the hope of reversing Brexit.
But what does the FT say about the German economy - that engine room of the Eurozone?
Well it said:
"Factory production in Germany dropped in July, highlighting the weakening state of the eurozone’s biggest economy as it teeters on the brink of recession."
And it quotes analysts from ING calling prospects for German industry 'bleak'.
While the Telegraph says that the Federation of German Industry has warned that a no deal Brexit could cause the German economy to maintain just about zero growth for the year.
And the response from Remainer politicians? Is to make sure we can't use the threat of no deal to help broker a good agreement.
You do have to ask which side our Remain infested parliament is on in these Brexit negotiations with the EU don't you.
Well, actually you don't, because the answer sticks out like the proverbial sore thumb, doesn't it?

Shock Horror!!
UKIP representative gives a pro-Brexit assessment of the state of the economy. Unicorns and Golden Uplands
Ask me again in September 2020 and we'll see how well we are doing.

When did the Office of National Statistics become UKIP representatives?
You are lucky to have @Estro Felino and myself trying our best to release you from your left-wing bubble.

By selectively choosing which statistics to use you can prove anything.
Don't forget to subtract the rebates applied before payment that the alt right never wants people to know about
And of coursel the losso of credit rating should Britain default on its debts. Surely given your education you are awair of both those points
I have just shown the faults with Estro's argument and it seems you are in the same bubble

It is probably irrelevant as it will get overturned; Johnson may have to appeal to the European Courts

Elites, a new word to replace quizlings?

The irony overload continues. Brexit was supposed to be about our Parliament having control of our laws and our courts having the final say....

The UK desperately needs a General Election to drain the swamp and elect a parliament that respects the will of the people.
