Furious pro-brexit supporters demonstration doesn't get quite the turnout hoped for:

Well even a 100 Brexitwits...

Fewer than a hundred, Toastie...

A range of pro-Brexit groups had invited around 15,000 people to the event, with almost 2,000 confirming they were planning to attend.

However, it appears fewer than 100 demonstrators showed up.

It would if it were fact rather than a forecast.

I wonder, do you understand what "forecast" means?
Project Fear lives on.


(*Hint*: please tell us how correct these forecasts have been so far?)

If these forecasts are good enough for the treasury ...they are good enough for me. Brexiteers are ignoring information that does not agree with their world view. Their decision to vote in the way they did was an emotional one based on ignorance and is light on facts. That much is clear from the Autumn Statement.

Then why don't YOU answer the question:
Tell us how correct these forecasts have been since the referendum?

And you say Brexiteers are ignoring information?
A ridiculous statement, given the lack of acknowledgement of actual facts and figures so far by those wishing to remain.

Doesn't change the fact that they are 'forecasts'. Even the OBR chairman has said that there is a 50% chance of them being wrong.

Most forecasts end up being wrong somewhere down the line.:)

presumably your faith in the treasury is based on past performance?

Figures compiled by experts. It will be wildly wrong. Either it will cost £5 or £500 billion.

Correct. That's just for the (government) admin work; That's about 3000 staff at London average wage for 2 years. Considering that there are apparently 400,000 "civil servants" that staffing number doesn't seem to far out there, but I bet a lot of them are on more than £32kpa.

I doubt the figure includes all of the admin work wasted by private companies either.

We'll need to make more than this out of Brexit in order to just break even.

While they spend their time on Brexit what are the NOT doing?
I wonder what the "lost opportunity cost" will be?

Hot on the heels of the UK's revised-upwards growth forecast for this year (to 2.1%) and the IMF predicting that the UK will be the fastest-growing G7 country this year, it seems that the outlook for Germany is much less bright.

It would appear that Germany's growth rate halved to 0.2% in October.

the Federal Statistics Office said on Thursday that net foreign trade subtracted 0.3 percentage points from GDP growth as exports fell by 0.4 percent on the quarter and imports rose by 0.2 percent.

I agree with you Jock. If the Government are not worried about these "forecasts" by "experts" why should I be.

5 months on from the referendum I don't see a lot of real change except the the lower value of the pound and even that has seen a small recovery. I am guessing that the currency traders are beginning to forget that Britain is due to leave the EU at sometime in the distant future.
