Shitsticks Mudsticks coined that phrase not me.
Fair comment, you'd still want one though, and I'd guess you'd want one that enabled you to pay for things like food, utilities and a roof over your head?

So nothing in that post is relevant to brexit…..just more bullshit, except for the non evident brexit 10bn uplift….and no you cant quote the bbc or twitter as evidence, cause remainers never let brexiteers do the same.
Shhh. The grown ups are talking. Go play with your toys.

If you can't read the conversation and join in like an adult, go and watch TV upstairs, there's a good lad.

Welcome yourself into the new modern crisis

I remember reading an article by Ben Goldacre written shortly after the referendum, maybe 2017ish after A50 was triggered. He was reassuring the reader that Brexit would not and could not happen. His reasoning was that if was going to happen, the UK would need to have already begun construction of the necessary border infrastructure and training of additional staff. Since there was no evidence of construction activity at the ports and no staff recruitment going on, none of this was happening and Brexit, particularly a hard Brexit requiring additional border checks was literally impossible.

Shows what he knows, and to think they made him a professor.

That was while the sensible people like Theresa May were in charge.

Once the rancid right seized the Tory party bets on common-sense and pragmatism were off.

Has anyone picked up on Truss's obsession with relying on Patrick Minford?

So what else has Mr Minford predicted before?​

He once predicted that leaving the EU without a deal would have boosted the UK economy by £135 billion a year.

Liz Truss cited Patrick Minford — the economist who claimed Brexit would generate £135bn in extra income for the UK — as her monetary guru today. Meanwhile, the Office for Budget Responsibility, says Brexit will cost £80bn in LOST income. Minford was only wrong by £215 billion!

I see Jackass is still throwing tantrums.

No tantrums here………and i thought it was only me that threw out name calling and abuse, another case of its ok for the remainers and not for the brexiteers. But again, no one will call the remainer out on it, cause they are scared of being turned on by the in crowd.
