How can you say with such certainty that we are poorer? We don't know how Brexit plays out in the long term, we barely have any idea how it plays out in the short term, the doom and gloom is beginning to lift IMO. Wells Fargo just spent £300m on a new European HQ in London. A Japanese industrialist has invested £24bn in our tech industry. I've been getting anecdotal reports that order books are holding up better than expected and overseas demand is up (unsurprisingly) as well. I've even heard from old colleagues that the games industry is hiring, far from there being job losses.YellowSubmarine said:" We voted for Brexit to reverse us getting poorer.

" I imagine the Wetherspoons of the Leave heartlands will be alright with such peons to ' control ' in 2021.
Maybe these are all isolated, I don't know. But what I do know is that it is completely stupid to say with any level of certainty that we are immediately poorer or better off because of Brexit. Let's leave that kind of rhetoric behind us, it helps no one and there isn't anywhere near enough evidence to say otherwise.0 -
People make choices to be poorer all the time. I hate to have to point out this obvious fact to you. People give up work, or reduce their hours, to be with their kids or to find time for hobbies. People change careers to find more personal fulfilment.YellowSubmarine said:" We voted for Brexit to reverse us getting poorer. Now we're even poorer still.

Others move out of London to escape the shitty environment (e.g. me. Used to work in Holborn, lived in Wye Valley for 17 years at an opportunity cost of £100ks).
If money were all there was in this world, we'd all be working in the City.0 -
Many Labour MPs will vote the way they voted on Iraq. ALL of them should be deselected.0

Terrible though Erdogan may well be, but it is probably the case that he would win yet another election, fairly, if he promised to do just as he is now. It's unfortunate, to say the least.Sean_F said:

I can understand why you'd be deeply ashamed of what you posted on Friday night.
Were you not impressed with how the PEOPLE safeguarded democracy. On Friday night, you, Max PB and Lowlander [ a strange coalition ] were questioning my post that ALL political parties were opposed to the coup. It turned out to be correct'
I also wrote pretty early in the night that the coup was effectively over. Max was hoping that the gutless Military would overthrow a democratically elected regime.
Whether you like it or not, Erdogan [ who is basically a street bully ] is democratically elected. We cannot have a democracy which only elects people we like.
The fact is the people of Turkey, from Gaziantep to Istanbul, responded to Erdogan's Face-time call to come out on to the streets.
The plotters were defeated and the Turkish people's choice was restored.
I regret nothing. Certainly not to someone who is a member of UKIP.
That says a lot about you.

In the context of the Eurozone, isn't piling the wealth into the hands of the Germans piling the wealth into the hands of the already wealthy? How are the Greeks and Portuguese doing from the arrangement?Lowlander said:
These German politicians sound like amateurs. Don't they know the best way to run an economy is to keep piling the wealth into the hands of the already wealthy?rcs1000 said:
Median wages are up about 8% in a period our are down the same amount.SeanT said:
Germany is not successful. No more than us. It exports more. It's infrastructure is often in tatters (as recent visitors, like me, will attest). It's median wages have also stagnated. It has benefited from an underpriced euro which has at the same time pauperised its EU neighbours which it now has to bail out.
Germany is not successful. It's just not as fucked as Greece or Italy.
Now, the bulk of that improvement has happened in the East, so you probably haven't seen it. But it's happened.
Thankfully these guys aren't in charge of the UK or Wales might find itself moving towards prosperity while London has to cope on the only the wealth it already has.0 -
For Iraq or this vote? If Iraq were justification they should have been deselected long ago, and if about this vote, well, it's still Labour policy to renew Trident for now, isn't it?surbiton said:Many Labour MPs will vote the way they voted on Iraq. ALL of them should be deselected.

T'other day I nominated you as El President and Dictator for Life in your absence. Can't believe you missed it.Cyclefree said:
I posted on the previous thread my thoughts on why mass Muslim immigration posed a risk to social and cultural cohesion. If that - as well as the economic issues so well described by @rcs100 - are not properly dealt with we face a tough future. You cannot easily put together a society which is fracturing. It is easy to overdo the gloom but what is happening in France, what we have seen in Belgium and Germany, the issues in Austria and the problems we have faced are symptoms of fractures which could, if not dealt with, lead to even worse fissures.John_M said:
I take Robert's general point. People can put up with a lot if they feel that they're prospering. In most Western countries there was an unconscious and entirely understandable expectation that successive generations would be richer than their predecessors. For much of the country that expectation was clearly wrong.Sean_F said:
That's fascinating, but I'd say it's only partly economics. People can feel they're losing out demographically and in terms of their status, as well as economically. That may be less of a problem, in a fast-growing economy, where everyone can grow richer, at different rates.rcs1000 said:Should anyone care, here's my big piece on the economic drivers of "The Discontented":
http://www.thstailwinds.com/831-2/
But, in a slow-growing economy, gains for the rich mean losses for the rest; gains for women mean losses for men; gains for people of colour mean losses for whites. But, it's not just about incomes. It's the sense that you've gone from being a respected citizen to being a pariah, during your lifetime.
That fact, combined with loss of social and cultural cohesion is central to the challenges we face.
On that basis, I have no idea why you're still hanging around here with this bunch of n'er do wells. Get cracking, ma'am, this country needs you.
Anyway, at the rate we're going we'll all get a chance to be PM before long. My turn will have to wait until next week as I'm having a long weekend in St Petersburg.
PS I like ne'er do wells.0 -

Instead of targeting Muslims we need to target the sources of funding for extreme Islam. Saudi Arabia, until we do that we're fucked.

Western policy should be gently oriented towards the ultimate goal of peaceably removing most Muslims from the western world. Let them prosper in the Middle East. Good luck to them.

Because Euro membership is not the only cause of economic discontent!chestnut said:Interesting article Robert though I would ask whether the Germans are benefiting from the euro while so many around them are straitjacketed and losing because of it.
The US, Japan, and the UK have all seen median income fall in the last eight years, and none of them are members of the Euro.
Germany's success is largely the consequence of sensible education, regional development, banking regulation and tax choices.
€1 = £ 0.83 - 2016
The Euro has appreciated 16% in 17 years against Sterling !
I can understand why you'd be deeply ashamed of what you posted on Friday night.
Were you not impressed with how the PEOPLE safeguarded democracy. On Friday night, you, Max PB and Lowlander [ a strange coalition ] were questioning my post that ALL political parties were opposed to the coup. It turned out to be correct'
I also wrote pretty early in the night that the coup was effectively over. Max was hoping that the gutless Military would overthrow a democratically elected regime.
Whether you like it or not, Erdogan [ who is basically a street bully ] is democratically elected. We cannot have a democracy which only elects people we like.
The fact is the people of Turkey, from Gaziantep to Istanbul, responded to Erdogan's Face-time call to come out on to the streets.
The plotters were defeated and the Turkish people's choice was restored.
I regret nothing. Certainly not to someone who is a member of UKIP.
That says a lot about you. It shows that you're morally worthless. The kind of person who would have been a cheerleader for Stalin or Pol Pot.0 -

Villanising all may not be acceptable. So what is? Doing nothing is not an option, is it? We've already had Sarkozy suggest that foreign born sympathisers of terrorism should be kicked out of France.

The reforms Renzi wants enacted include:
aimed at giving the party that came first in elections for the Chamber of Deputies a great many additional seats, allowing the formation of a stronger government.
Which is the same reforms bought in by the Greek government recently.
