    The doomsayers are in for a lot of cognitive dissonance, thier beloved economics expert predictions will come to nowt.

    In the meantime dynamic Britain assembles her new reality and of course we'll prosper.

    I saw a group is about to publish a proper account of all the Remain lies and untruths to put pay to the nonsense liberal establishment ruse that only Leave lied. Look out for the report shortly.

    Good news on job figures this AM, but what were the doomster economists predicting?

    Here are their expert views kindly supplied by the Guardian newsfeed.
    8:09am: UK jobless claims expected to rise following Brexit vote – Economists polled by Reuters are expecting a 9,500 jump in claims

    9:34am: A big surprise in the labour market data: the number of people claiming unemployment benefits fell by 8,600 in July, a month after the Brexit vote. No sign yet then that the Brexit vote is hurting the jobs market…

    you're probably on my ignore list.

    Ah more post factual incoherence from the broadly left leaning world of academia, like the BBC a less and less trusted source based not on evidence but an acutely narrow pre-formed liberal agenda where wisdom is not accumulated but simply obvious and to be handed down to the proles by Faron, Jones and Toynbe

    I just discovered that one Coventry BTL product has dropped the interest rate to 1.94%. As I recall this used to be 3.29% for the same product before Brexit.

    The interest rate crash might just offset the Osborne taxes.

    I think what we have seen is the tourism boost from the lower pound outweighing any risk aversion hiring freeze but would have to admit that this is likely to be a seasonal effect.
    I think....

    Just means we are closer to deflation/recession, nothing to celebrate really.

    Wonder how many of this lot will be "paying a landlord`s mortgage", or taking someone`s over-priced highly leveraged house off their hands any time soon http://www.independent.co.uk/news/education/education-news/tuition-fees-student-debt-9000-nus-damning-study-a7194351.html

    So it's coming down to who lied the least, is it? Great, I mean really, really great and my faith in humanity is restored! :mad:

    I have a friend who swears blind that the BBC is right-wing and actively avoids reporting stories that might harm the Tories. As the BBC itself says, they get complaints on both sides, so feel that overall they are getting it about right and I tend to agree.

    As for the academics: I expect that most of them can spell 'Britain' correctly at least (even in the Guardian ;)) unlike someone on here! :p
