The UK and the EU after the Brexit Referendum - Martin Wolf
Economy | Information | History | Online | Facts | World | Global | Money
In the wake of the Brexit vote, the UK and the EU are entering a period of prolonged uncertainty. Brexit happened partly because the British and wider European economies were struggling with the aftermath of the global financial crisis and a slowing global economy. But it has now made these economic challenges far more severe. Fears of a sharp slowdown loom over the UK economy. Meanwhile, the rest of the EU, already struggling with the eurozone crisis and the management of inward migration, has to forge a new relationship with a vital market, its leading financial centre, an essential security partner and an important link to the wider world. Martin Wolf, chief commentator on economics at the Financial Times, shared his perspective on the implications for Europe and the global economy.

"Father forgive them for they no not what they do."
What a wonderful knowledgeable dissertation of the AWFUL dilemma we now face. Technically, Martin Wolf sums-up by saying: "we are screwed."
Its 2,000 years since the Jews stood in front of Pontius Pilate and given the choice between Jesus and Barabbas they demanded that they be given Barabbas. Pontius Pilate, washing his hands symbolically, gave them Barabbas and 2,000 years of hell. Judas subsequently went out and "hung himself with a halter." Would that Johnson, Gove, Farage etc would consider that option.
If there was a general election tomorrow we would have Labour/LibDem/SNP coalition government in power and a withdrawal of the Art 50 application.. -
Nightmare! If this bloke could have spoken to the voters pre Brexit there would have been no brexit.

Big story. Regime shift. Western globalisation coming to an end. Underlying political system have collapsed. Growth rates collapsed, 1-1.5%. Capital growth. Labour force. Productivity. IMF - recovery? Collapse in investment. Labour force contracting. Innovation halved. Demand problem. Monetary policy. Negative rates or at or near zero. Unique. Hyperinflation. Japan 20 years of zero rates and no inflation. UK economy 2% pa. EU recession and weak demand. Output down. No recovery.Brexit: 27% of 18-24 year olds voted to leave and 60% of over sixty fives.

What a load tosh. The biggest load in of codswollop since the last news programme from the BBC. The people who voted to leave the EU were not stupid. They were the ones who suffered the consequences of mass immigration. What a surprise?? I don't think.
Also the problem facing the West is not economic. It's cultural - you idiot. Soon Britain will be a mainly Hindu and Muslim country. White people will be an oppressed minority. If we have learned anything we have learned that with immigration on the present scale there is no incentive for immigrants to integrate or adapt to British culture. Instead Britain is already not a nation in any real sense. It is just a collection of "communities" all more or less hating each other. We will be lucky to avoid civil war or at least extreme terrorism. -
Nothing will happen if £ goes down again and UK workers becoming cheaper to work, new taxes both side ? so what, just british travellers and investors will lose money !

I'm sure that Loius XVI and the Romanovs also asked themselves "why didn't we see this coming", there are many parallels to be seen between their situation and the current one. Wealth is being concentrated in the hands of a small minority, and whether this is the French and Russian aristocrats or the global capitalists this is not sustainable over time. Fortunately, we have recourse to the ballot box these days and will not need to set up guillotines in the town squares, even if there is a sector to the population who would approve entirely!

This a load of usurous Jew bankster clap trap. An economy is a fiction and all 'money' is debt (credit). It's time the thieving corrupt system was swept away and its authors strung up on lamp posts having been stripped of their parasitical gains.

will other countries invest in UK with 65 millions customers or Eurozone ?

He managed to get through the stats well enough. But once he said he wished we were still part of the EU. He lost.

What a complacent individual this is. Is it possible to listen to him or watch without beginning to feel physically sick? The fact that such a complacent spokesman for the elite is where he is, smug, concetied, sneering, condescending, says everything we need to know about the world today. "really really really really serious demand problem" does he talk in this condescendingway because he considers himself so superior? The intention of this individual's speech is to undermine confidence by posturing as an expert and diverting the issue from national necessity to economic costs. The presentation is intended as reasonable but serves entirely the interests of pro Common market propaganda. This individual should be deported to Frankfurt. "We've heard enough from experts" Yes! Yes! So why does this expert go on talking? "We" (and who is your "we" Wolf?) are in amess are we? Yes, We are in a mess ahving people such as yourselves in such influential positions. His "we" is a mockery. I do not associate with his "we". He belongs to an elite with which I want nothing to do.

Financial Times is resolutely Remain, so not necessarily unbiased; German growth is related to their currency being undervalued in the Euro, fact ignored. Also Students are usually young, so conflating youth voting Remain with Students voting the same means a statistical distortion of two of the young versus old percentages.

Multiculturalism & Mass-immigration has failed everywhere on earth....
Just ask any American Indian, indigenous Polynesian people of the Hawaiian Islands or native Australians how Multiculturalism & Mass-immigration has been workin out for them... -
What the EU Europhiles fear most is the UK flourishing on their own...

There are signs that Allah will grant Islam victory in Europe - without swords, without guns, without conquests. The 50 million Muslims of Europe will turn it into a Muslim continent within a few decades.
