hard BREXIT

[withdeanwombat]

What are you talking about? Things are WAY WAY WAY better than in the 70's by most measures.

This is true. We've stopped digging up that dirty coal, don't build smelly old boats or trains or many of our own cars, or tellys or many white goods, or that many airplanes,or engines, or run our own essential things like power or water or such.
However, we do currently sell insurance and banking services until that switches to Paris and Frankfurt, and we have lots and lots of baristas and burger flippers and pizza deliveries.
All is cool.

We are the 6th largest economy on the planet. With more people employed than ever in our history. That's quite cool.

The size of the eco my has little to do with the wealth of the people.

The wealth of the people is on average far higher than in the 70's. However due to overpopulation and the nature of the economy now, there living standards of the newer generation are going down relatively.

That's not the way I read the post from [MENTION=26105]Soulman[/MENTION]
The point being made is that people are unhappy with uncontrolled Immigration. The 'over complaining' refers to the view that it is not necessary for us to respond to the extreme position of uncontrolled
Immigration with the equally extreme zero immigration. We can instead adopt the
more moderate position of measuring and controlling the inwards movement of people so our
society can plan public service provision and mitigate social consequences. It is the way we used to operate border controls and is also the way most of the rest of the developed world works.

Simple really isn't it

 

[alfredmizen]

No, merely a simple allusion to the palpable flaccidity of your cranial content and it's repetitively risibly juvenile product.

Yes, of course it was : it was an attempt at an insult which failed miserably due to you being about as blokeish as a Caesar salad

Trading food insults. What a load of tripe.

Made me worried....I LIKE caesar salad !!

 

[BigGully]

Depends what you look at . Education was free in the 70s, so we are worse off now in the respect. House prices were affordable, they are not anymore.

I assume that most young persons were not going to University in the 70's compared to now and I suspect home ownership was more scarce then than now, I was a very happy youngster in the 70's and I might yearn for things to be like it was back then, but overall things I am sure are better.

 

[Green Cross Code Man]

Yes, overall I would agree. That does not mean that everything is better. Some things have gone backwards, a lot!

That is true. But this thread in my opinion is more about economics and less about quality of life. Personally, for quality of life, it could be argued that things were better for many of us in the 70's.

As a female, I suppose I should take that as a complement.......

We have been on the slide since the 70's, nothing, (well maybe perfecting Fusion ) we can do will improve the slow decline of this nation.... it is the way of things.

Unlike your victims, I'm just refusing to be intimidated by an angry, sadly limited, racist bully.
