If we said brexit was off the table tomorrow we'd be booming and we'd all be enjoying a pay rise. We are in for a gloomy few years all for nothing. It p1sses me off.
Once again the experts and doom mongers were wrong.
UK retail sales rose by more than expected in June, rebounding from May's decline, according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS). The quantity of goods bought rose by 0.9% in June from May, which was stronger growth than economists had been expecting.
"We shouldn't get too carried away by these figures. After all, the retail sales figures are very volatile on a month-by-month basis. And the heatwave in June provided a boost to clothing sales that may not be sustained," said Paul Hollingsworth, UK economist at Capital Economics.
My point is the experts got it wrong again. Volumes are continuing to increase on a 3 monthly basis which irons out the odd monthly fluctuation. That is why May's slight dip proved to be just that a slight dip and not the end of the UK as the BBC and experts predicted.
You'd think so, but with May negotiating the retirement age will be raised to 70 before we know it, to help pay for it. Austerity see, plus Brexit is what the British Electorate wanted that's the line they'll go down for sure.
Can we send France a bill for the cost of saving them from German Occupation in WW1 and WW2. I was not aware that France actually gave us any money. Even the EU did not give us money. They only gave back to us a smaller percentage of the money we GAVE to the EU in the first place.
I want out of my 2 year mobile phone contract, of which i'm currently half way through. Can i give half of my phone back and pull out of my contract and stop paying my bills?
Read the other day that foreign aid is going to Argentina to help them build and maintain their airforce. Absolute madness given they'd be quite willing to use that hardware against our people in the Falklands given half a chance.
The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.
Only partly true. The UK gives aid to Argentina and Farage was on LBC the other day ranting how that money could be being used to buy fighter jets to attack the Falklands. Or something. The actual point was I think an NAO report which said that monitoring of how some countries spend the money wasn't previously as water tight as it might have been.
Because that's the same is it? what contract did we sign that say's that we'll stay in the EU forever and a day? its not as if we haven't paid more than enough in already and now the cheeky bastards want another 100 billion, how many countries have we bailed out? and knowing us we probably paid the bulk of those bail outs.
Fine we'll send back all their lot back as well, afterall these things work both ways, well you'd think anyway. not that they are a bunch of bitter bastards or anything mind fuking hell, no doubt there'll be at least one on here that'll support their motion though.
That's as maybe, but they've mugged us off for long enough and now they're still trying to mug us off, short memory's mainland Europe have got, by dam.
