    Ah yes, even leaving a fragile EU asside - a roaring success like the IMF is proving to be you mean?
    I see that the IMF's Christine Lagarde has been found guilty of negligence in court.

    This corrupt bunch have been exposed as being corrupt for decades - see the below from 2000 as just one example among many:

    A report today (Sunday) from Reuters showing that British companies are absorbing the Brexit shock:

    http://uk.reuters.com/article/uk-britain-eu-idUKKBN147068

    "Manufacturing body EEF says the sector is its most upbeat in a year and a half, helped by an export-boosting fall in the pound since the vote, and investment and hiring plans are up.
    In construction, office building has slowed but some companies plan to ramp up home-building next year. A survey by IHS Markit showed growth in the construction sector hit an eight-month high in November.
    Economists are now raising their predictions for British economic growth next year, after many of them initially warned June's vote would quickly cause a recession."

    This is all WONDERFUL news. I am delighted that the good news continues while we remain in the EU.
    There will be no Brexit dividend for Britain.

    It's definitely good news; long may it continue.
  • Facetious comments are I suppose infinitely preferable to the more-usual bile seen in these forums.
    I should perhaps point out however that sarcasm is certainly NOT the highest form of intelligence as stated by Oscar Wilde; the posts above clearly demonstrate evidence of this.

    Ahem.
    We?
    Yet again, WE here in the UK are indeed within the EU for now - though many of us note that this is only when it suits those within the EU. See the recent Brussels meetings and attitudes towards our PM for evidence.
    YOU however are an avowed anti-British EU resident of Luxembourg who will remain in whatever is left of the EU when the UK have long-since left.
    As such I ammend your post:

    6 months on and we still want to leave the EU.

    Good to see the great British public haven't been swayed by the endless negativity of the remainers. :T
    If I don't reply to your post,
    you're probably on my ignore list.

    From the same poll....

    On whether or not the UK should leave the Single Market:

    - 41% think the UK should stay in the single market

    - 36% think the UK should leave the single market
    “The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.

    Belief in myths allows the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought.”

    Oh, is Luxembourg leaving the EU?
    So it's Luxembourg next to leave, not Holland or France or Italy or ...............
