Hard Brexit or Hard Brexit

[Scot Dutchy]

We seem to do OK without the approval of our European cousins.

Doing what exactly?

What do you think? Picking tulips?

You dont seem to be doing much else while tip toeing through the garden.

Your statement has no meaning and is just a negative comment. The UK has the third largest GDP in Europe - of course there's a lot going on.

You have habitually tried to put me in the Brexit camp because I happen t be British and I'm handy for you to express your anti UK prejudices against.

Don't know if anyone's posted this but I found it interesting. This is basically what happens every time I meet with the local humanist group even if we planned to talk about other things, except these guys really know their stuff.

It can be the third largest of anything but how is it performing? Genuine data please.

There's really no point because you will just dismiss the data as biased, irrelevant or any old thing you can think of to support your position.

Every country in the EU has a different set of factors and dynamics to deal with. Some bald stats. Go look up your own fucking data.

Says nothing. So you are a fairly large European country. Your growth per capita is what counts. OECD data:

Growth in GDP per capita, productivity and ULC

Does not look rosy at all for the UK. Only 1% growth compared to our 2.6 and Ireland's 6.6%.
Our growth in April this year was 3.2%. Keep trying.

Growth is leading the planet to destruction. Are you telling us the Dutch are at the head of that...?

[Scot Dutchy]

WTF. Ozland is being destroyed by Ozzies (with a little help of the Chinese).

How is growth destroying the planet? Don't equate us with your mob.

[pErvinalia]

Most growth is unsustainable. The Dutch are destroying the planet!!

We can never beat you lot at it.

He's a funny man. Clever and funny. Funny and clever. Watched this on TV the other day.

British manufacturing output slips to ninth globally behind France

Data shows sector starved of investment and losing ground as Brexit uncertainty persists
