If 'brexit' is no longer the biggest risk to the UK economy, what is the biggest risk and can we have a new thread about it?
-
Only if his cousin is more like a brother to him.
-
Does it not add weight to the theory that their forecast was based on the affect on the economy, post leave result but pre-brexit?
-
An interesting point!
-
It's amusing but it misses the EU guy's response - "Good, because we won't listen until you've threatened to kill your hostage!"
-
They won't be 'proven right or wrong' after 6 years, so certainly can't be proven just 6 months post referendum. It's on that basis that it surprises me how early some have derided others.

8500?! I've been to a basketball match with more Birmingham (Bullets) fans.
-
I took your acknowledgement that economic analysis is debatable. I've re-read my comment after I quoted you and realise I should have included a term such as 'others' to ensure you didn't think I was accusing you.
-
Yep. At the moment it's like we're trying to predict the outcome of a 90 minute game after the first couple of minutes when no one has even put a tackle in.
-
If economic performance is what many in this thread seem to be focussing on in regard to the decision to leave and as you acknowledged, economic analysis is debatable, there can be no definitive right or wrong answer to the question. I'm therefore surprised there are so many posts in this thread that imply or directly call supporters of one side or the other, idiots or similar. It was a simple as that.
-
Are you serious?
-
Indeed. It does make it impossible to define whether the decision was correct. As such, I think it's poor to label either side as idiots or wrong.
-
Economic history is littered with analysis that stands up to scrutiny to some and not to others. Beside the how much, if any, will the economy be affected, there will be those who think some price to pay will be worthwhile.
-
How easy will it be to decide what any effect on the economy is directly because of the referendum result? It's not like we can run a control experiment where the UK remains for comparison purposes. Similar economies improve and stagnate, often at unexpected rates, with or without major changes. Economic markets usually don't like change so it shouldn't be a surprise to anyone if there is some effect. It will be a long journey so it will take years afterwards to assess whether it was worth it. Even then we won't exactly know what mess or otherwise we'd have been in if we had remained.
-
I recall a campaign warning of instant damage to the UK economy. Even those who voted leave that I have spoken to, expect there to be some affect on the UK economy during the exit itself. Only time will tell what the effect is and how long it will last. After that we'll all be able to debate whether the 'cost' was worth it; a subjective soup further clouded by guesses of how bad or good the UK would have been if we'd remained.

Magistrate Margaret?

It puzzles me how many of the fans who were saying the club was at an all time low, was a complete shambles from top to bottom and could easily fall through the Championship to Divison One, are often the same ones who express disappointment at Bruce's inability to instantly turn our squad in to a team that wins virtually every game whilst playing great football.
-
It appears the BBC may have jumped the gun with their assumption that all the Ivory Coast players were unavailable.
-
Interesting. Perhaps Kodjia knows the information should come from the club.
-
Heard it in the sports news on BBC Radio WM on Friday - Ayew will be available against Cardiff, Kodjia will not be available. It was phrased as a confirmation, not as a 'it is believed that...'.
-
No.

Bunn still needs to prove he can be a long term replacement but I think you've picked the wrong game to make the point. I didn't see any nervousness in dealing with the numerous back passes and he definitely did not 'leave' the shot that flicked the outside of the post. He dived to save it and slow motion replays appear to show he might have got his glove tips to it, so definitely NOT 'left'. Two fantastic saves and no mistakes make for a great game, IMO.

A couple of unexpected (for some) political results and what appears to be an above average amount of famous people dying (although I think the 'above average' bit has been disproved). I hope it doesn't appear selfish if my review of 2016 centres on the health, happiness and success of my family and friends together with my relationship with my wife and my work/life balance. All things considered 2016 has been a great year.
