Quote:GET IT DONE, Boris. Hard Brexit. Soft Brexit. Shut up and do it. Then gather economic data to prove whether it was a good/bad idea. But Boris didn't want to know the numbers before Brexit. After Brexit, he probably won't collect data to finally know in his attempts to make sure nobody will ever be able to prove anything about Brexit. His government is already talking about “something that cannot be measured solely through spreadsheets or impact assessments, important though they are.” Boris does not want real numbers on those spreadsheets.

Before and after - VERY hard moving targets to try and measure as better or worse.
Because you never know what would have been otherwise. You can SPECULATE and FANTASIZE (as you often do) what might have been to compared to what is now - but you'll never know.
And then - what's your timeline for measuring the outcome? A week? I'm sure the US was in pretty shit shape a week after the Revolutionary War. Lost lives. Lost property. Bankrupt country. People could easily have looked around and said to themselves - this was a really bad idea.
Not that I expect you to address any of this. I expect more of your incognito trolling.

Researchers said that the outlook is clouded by political and economic uncertainty, concluding that the economy would be 3.5 % smaller over the next decade compared with staying in the European Union.
The NIESR estimated that the economy was already 2.5 % smaller than it would have been had Britain not voted in 2016 to leave the European Union.
The research suggested a no-deal Brexit would cause an even greater loss to the economy, with a 5.6 % blow to GDP.

I am certain Boris will make sure that not enough data is collected by his government to ever prove what the real impact of Brexit is. That way Boris can say whatever he wants and no one can prove he is lying.

Yeah - those 'outlooks' - 'clouded with uncertainty' - you must think they're facts; the same way you get your facts from opinion pages.
Along with your personal incognito trolling of BoJo.
I'll just have to take your word for it. /snicker

Oh. Kinda like impeachment, huh?

Tough titty and irrelevant. The people already voted in favor of it.

So you're pretending to know anything about BoJo and attributing all the negative feelings you have about our own President to him.
Gotcha.

SECOND is against Brexit because he's for immigration, legal or not. I thought that was pretty clear.

Quote:The way you argue about Brexit I am betting that your, Signym's and 1kiki's investments don't do well because you decide based on your feelings, not on the numbers. You are innumerants who squeak by with just enough math to get out of school and then cover your ears and hum when presented with anything more mathematically complex than balancing a checkbook. Too bad Brexit will make the British poorer, but they won't notice because they can't do the math and Boris certainly won't let them know.
