tics

2019-10-08 15:29:56 UTC  

No

2019-10-08 15:29:59 UTC  

It's framing

2019-10-08 15:30:18 UTC  

It's not even framing as such

2019-10-08 15:30:21 UTC  

Its also a statement of facts about a situation that is up in the air

2019-10-08 15:30:43 UTC  

It's just an entirely subjective opinion of two economists lol. It has the same validity as publishing a report with the predictions of economists who were pro brexit

2019-10-08 15:30:46 UTC  

Yes there is likely to be a reduction in growth in the short term.

2019-10-08 15:30:58 UTC  

But you can't say "THE UK WILL LOSE THIS EXACT NUMBER"

2019-10-08 15:31:11 UTC  

Because that is totally bullshit, since you don't know

2019-10-08 15:31:12 UTC  

I do agree that there is likely to be damage to the economy in the short term

2019-10-08 15:32:07 UTC  

The no brexit forecasts also don't seem take into account things like china

2019-10-08 15:32:18 UTC  

Looks like essentially an extrapolation of previous

2019-10-08 15:32:26 UTC  

When the whole of Europe has seen a downturn

2019-10-08 15:32:42 UTC  

So it would come to reason we would have also seen some downturn even if we didn't vote to leave.

2019-10-08 15:34:01 UTC  

Even then the predictions see a return to form in the medium term anway

2019-10-08 15:34:19 UTC  

Which is quite literally exactly what every sane brexiteer is saying

2019-10-08 15:34:22 UTC  

Short term losses

2019-10-08 15:34:31 UTC  

What is short term to you

2019-10-08 15:34:42 UTC  

Because leading brexiteers say it could take 50 years

2019-10-08 15:34:44 UTC  

to see any benefits to this

2019-10-08 15:35:16 UTC  

I'll take that report, it predicts a return to good growth by 2022

2019-10-08 15:35:31 UTC  

That is still even short term tbh

2019-10-08 15:35:39 UTC  

That will be a miracle considering we are heading into a recession this yaer

2019-10-08 15:35:45 UTC  

So

2019-10-08 15:35:53 UTC  

Do you agree with it or not then?

2019-10-08 15:35:59 UTC  

Just the bits that agree with your narrative?

2019-10-08 15:36:39 UTC  

Hey we could see a return to growth in 3 years

2019-10-08 15:36:46 UTC  

still means we have punished ourselves

2019-10-08 15:36:48 UTC  

and made ourselves poorer

2019-10-08 15:36:52 UTC  

We are not heading into a recession lmao

2019-10-08 15:36:59 UTC  

Economically maybe...maybe.

2019-10-08 15:37:02 UTC  

We have had 0% growth

2019-10-08 15:37:04 UTC  

for the past 2 quarters

2019-10-08 15:37:08 UTC  

Economics isn't everything

2019-10-08 15:37:13 UTC  

3 quarters means a recession

2019-10-08 15:37:18 UTC  

If it was I would work 12 hours per day 7 days a week

2019-10-08 15:37:33 UTC  

not really the full story to say '50 years'

2019-10-08 15:37:37 UTC  

No a recession is a decline

2019-10-08 15:37:48 UTC  

....

2019-10-08 15:37:52 UTC  

0% is stagnation
