"Lionel your glass is nearly empty mate. Don't worry up topping it up though 
Simply pointing out a report by the IMF.
Still what would they know?"
Is this the same IMF who warned of 'dire consequences' that would follow a vote to leave and then backtracked?

Apparently you can not post anything now which remotely contradicts the party line where everything is going to be perfect.
Not even the imf is exempt we can only quote sky news and the mail
Outstanding.

Just to point the out another comment from the Bank of England.
“The Bank was also clear that the post-Brexit trading rules will hit the economy, and that there are new "barriers" likely to lower trade between the UK and EU, some which are yet to emerge. This goes beyond the government's repeated claims that such changes are ‘teething problems’.”
Did you also as Costa recommends read further see the flatline growth on all world trade until 2024! |

Ah, fair enough, I guess the 4 years forecast was done by the same people as the 3 month one? |

"
IMF apologised 5 times in two years for wrongly predicting economic recovery in 5 countries during the last recession.
You also have to remember that dealing with Macro Economics isn't the same as dealing with Micro Economics.

Technically prices on imports went up in 2016 as the pound dropped like a stone.. just saying. 
We had to wait for the red tape. Lots now to enjoy though . |

I think I may be done with these forums
Haha, that’s probably for the best, be a shame to see you go though
Probably is for the best. I actually thought I left the playground 20 years ago but you wouldn't have thought it being in here
Ah well, you need to be thick skinned to take it on here, maybe your a bit to sensitive ? It’s only banter and bull shit
Nah not sensitive in the slightest. As I said, it would be nice to have some threads that weren't hijacked. Politics I thought would be a fairly serious forum
Do you mean a thread where everyone agrees with the OP ?
No one has to agree. But compare apples with apples and then there may be a valid debate
That is what happened, the IMF forecast was compared with the BOE??
One was short term and one long term. Not comparable
Haha, seriously? Is that the new debatable parameters ?
I don't set the parameters. I also don't have to accept them. Are you saying that comparing short term to long term is comparable?
Yes, are you saying that only short term forecasts are relevant ?
When you try to compare it to another short term forecast yeah.
Ok, yes he short term forecast for the next 3 months by the BOE is very encouraging, is that the end of the debate? "

I think we all like to challenge and in some cases slide sideways on an argument just for the sheer hell of it,
I also think we’re all a bit fed up of this lock down so tempers are short.
We’ve had good and bad arguments on here and the divisive nature of politics today means it’s harder to allow your self to agree with the opponents view.
What’s wrong with our old scenario where some parts of the left or right we’re good and you weren’t afraid to admit it?
Like I’ve said I’ve been mostly a Tory voter then I foolishly believed Blair. I didn’t fall for Boris as too obvious he’s not fit for the job. But it doesn’t mean I can’t sometimes agree with Tory ideas. I don’t believe a word out of this cabinet which is shocking for me. But that doesn’t mean I’m voting labour next time. It means they have to earn our votes whichever side. We should not give our votes based on party loyalty but on performance and what’s good for us all. Our media is our worst enemy and let’s hope this John Neil news thing is real as we definitely need it.

"Lionel your glass is nearly empty mate. Don't worry up topping it up though
Simply pointing out a report by the IMF.
Still what would they know?
Is this the same IMF who warned of 'dire consequences' that would follow a vote to leave and then backtracked?
IMF apologised 5 times in two years for wrongly predicting economic recovery in 5 countries during the last recession.
You also have to remember that dealing with Macro Economics isn't the same as dealing with Micro Economics.

No they said we would having rising unemployment, it fell, they said our gdp would fall, it rose. To be fair economic forecasting is pretty much guesswork but they are meant to be experts |

GDP growth since 2010 to 2019 was over 18 % on a year by year measure so probably 25 % from the starting point and there was 3 million more jobs, hardly flat lining |

I expect the three million extra that had a job thought so. I'm not sure austerity is the right word, most was cutting waste from public services, every business and every household can only spend what is has, governments have to try and balance the books, we have borrowed billions this year had the public finances not been in a far better position than when labour got kicked our we wouldnt have found it as easy to borrow. |

What waste exactly?
They have cut the police right down to the bone
The NHS is on its arse
There was an 8 year pay freeze.
Do you know the ones those 2 faced cumts are out clapping for..they cut their wages that much ,some of them.have had to resort to foodbanks.
There has been an explosion on foodbanks and homeless.
Life expectancy has actually slowed down in parts of the country.
Sure start centres,libraries are practically none existent.
Mental health services have been slashed
Youth clubs are a thing of the past and as a result there has been an explosion in youth crime
The probation service was provitised which was another unmitigated disaster.
But apart from that austerity was a success. |

It’s the same IMF that had to financially bail us out in the 1970’s because of what was (at that time) the most incompetent series of Governments that this country had ever seen.
Then, in 2019 after witnessing catastrophic Conservative governance by Theresa May, the population of this country decided to elect a known liar with no political gravitas to the highest office in the land.
We will get what we deserve from this. |

Who implements the controls ? The top heavy management, K is nhs, not one manager has gone, intact since she moved in with me in 2004, two more layers have been added,no doubt other services are the same, it's not the money you have but the way you spend it, of course one of the main reason for problems in the NHS is the pensions, I has just taken hers, to get the same lump sum and yearly pension I would need 600,000 pension pot, that is simply unaffordable |

Not quite that simple.
The seeds of that eruption were planted in the 1950’s, the volcano grew unharnessed through the decadence of the 1960’s and Keynesian ideas in the 1970’s set the eruption in motion.
It was an event at least twenty years in the making and whilst the economic lessons may have been learned since then, the wisdom of electing charlatans still seems to a potential problem for the long-term benefit of this country and its citizens. |

We were all on it together
The big society etc
Look at the high street and see how many sure start places, libraries, youth clubs etc are left.
Austerity is one of the most devestating policies that's ever been inflicted. |
