    Negligible. Capitalism is predicated on a growing population. There is no way our government are going to let us do a Japan and flatline completely. We'll keep importing people from somewhere, if it's Aleppo rather than Warsaw so be it.


    The electorate don`t want that to happen though, so are you predicting that the government will deny the will of the majority and face the consequences at the ballot box?

    Deny the will of the people.....get real. Very few people give two hoots about immigration. The Tories and Labour before them had an open door policy - the electorate seem to like it.

    Did you miss the Brexit vote then, or are you just at the wind up?

    An excerpt from Peter Lilly's Brexit template;


    Continuing tariff-free trade (plus passporting of financial services) is only negotiable if we are willing to walk away with no deal: i.e. trading on a WTO basis. Fortunately, we can. The average tariff our exporters to the EU would face would be about four per cent (that includes agricultural products: manufactures average 2.4 per cent). Given the 12 per cent exchange rate movement in favour of our exporters, they would remain better off. By contrast, continental exporters would have to absorb the tariffs on top of a 12 per cent loss of competitiveness.

    No I didn't. I voted to Leave. I couldn't care less about immigration. Just like Dan Hannah (and many others).


    The world isn't as binary as you think.

    Will the Brexit result make the UK a less favourable destination for your potential tenants though?

    Who knows? Not me, and certainly not you - I don't mean to be rude, but your economic predictions are singularly hopeless.


    The early signs suggest it won't be bad

    Can you quote one of my economic predictions, or are you too busy taking investment master-classes with the BBC....:rotfl:

    Sigh. Would it make you happy if I linked directly to the ONS release?

    The BBC article came top of the google search, for obvious reasons. You have correctly predicted 1 of the last 28 crashes - I'm not the uber-bull you clearly think I am, but forgive me if I don't take your master classes.
