    I agree that Cameron walking away from the referendum HE called was unforgivable and largely created the ensuing mess that lasted until 2019. Brexit was a global shock. And its ramifications are still being worked out globally. Nobody envisaged a situation where an EU member left.

    The evidence that Brexit has had any measurable impact on the British economy remains extremely thin on the ground for me. Part of the problem is that attributing any impact is miles more dufficult when Covid and the geopolitical situation have had such huge impacts. What is clear, however, is...

    "What is the alternative?" Isn't a solution or a reason to do something. The alternative is lower taxes. Incomes not from earnings? Unless you are someone like a royal, all income is from earnings. If i make £1 million, invest it, bearing the risks of that investment and it grows to £5...

    Inflation, lower economic growth etc. - that is a global phenomenon. These things would have happened here regardless. The EU are not a trading bloc. If that is what it was, nobody would have wanted to leave.

    On another issue...wealth taxes (on the back of Polanski's latest). The best example i can give you as to why wealth taxes don't work is: - I start a business up and i own 100 £1 shares in the limited company. - The business is doing well after a couple of years, turnimg over about £20 million a...

    The OBR nor Goldman Sachs can really tell what impact Brexit has or hasn't had. All of these studies refer back to projections of UK economic growth before we left the EU. And indeed, we are significantly undsr where we were predicted to be. That however, doesn't take into account that the...

    I don't understand, economic growth refers to one thing, GDP, which is illustrated in the gif. Economic growth is what the governor of the BoE was referring to. Although i am not actually a fan of using it as the primary measure of economic health. For example, companies like Starbucks operate...

    Source is the IMF. The point is that the governor of the Bank of England is publically telling people that Brexit has negatively impacted on UK economic growth. But the "facts", if anything, point to the opposite.

    The 'If You Still Need to Purge Yourself Of Ange' Thread

    Exactly. It's all about him. Taking the Nottingham Forest job didn't seem to be about Ange helping out Forest, he made it about proving a point about himself. And when the pressure is on, he picks fights constantly. Whether its with journalists or even his own fans.

    Brexit. I find that everyone's still got an opinion on it. And very few people can remove emotive bias from their opinion. Even the governor of the Bank of England: https://news.sky.com/story/brexit-impact-on-uk-economy-negative-for-foreseeable-future-bank-of-england-chief-says-13452747...

    The "ridiculous injuries" are a product of Ange. Who says so? Ange himself: "they're a product of the way I train and play".

    Yeah the government are not being honest with people on a couple of fronts: 1) Energy costs are higher as we won't buy from one of the world's largest energy suppliers, nor from those that buy their energy from that supplier. They are not being honest about the significant and far reaching...

    All knife offences likely. Does appear there's been a drop in hospital admissions for knife and gun related crime for 2025 over 2024 so hopefully theyve started to make progress on the knife front as well this year but its certainly been a rising concern for a good while prior.

    we have made really good progress on firearms trafficking and fire arms offences nationally (inc London) but knife enabled crime is up to pre Covid levels where it was climbing. So: your chances of being involved in a weapon-enabled attack in London is higher than it ever has been. Your chances...

    On what basis does the current levels of legal immigration benefit the UK more than it costs? On what basis will Farage tax the poor and punish the lower and middle classes. i will tell you who is punishing the lower and middle classes, this current Labour government whose policies such as...

    People accept change when they see the change as being for the better. would people care about stuff like this church exhibition if there wasn't a wider context? Probably less. People are bringing up these things as they see them as microcosms of what's wrong. Graffiti tags are often marking...

    As i said, you can you argue the rights and wrongs of it all you like. The growing anger and resentment and the breaking down of mental boundaries (e.g. "if that makes me racist, so be it", "if you want to call me far right, go for it") is the result. And here's the rub, you can say to me...
