Brexit the economy and house prices part 7: Brexit Harder

Herzlos

This casts some doubt on the myth that we're in full employment:

Plus from my travels in England, things are pretty grim for the most part too. Some well off parts will be doing great, some less well of parts wont be.

I may be many things but unhappy ain't one of them. Glasgow has always been, on the most part, a happy friendly city.

They'll all become Rejoiners. They aren't just going to shut up.

No, there will still be half leavers and half those dragged along into the hell hole of brexit.

Prepare for an increase in political turmoil. We aren't going to give up on the country.

Indeed we will not shut up. And it will be easier for Rejoiners to fight to rejoin than to espouse the remain mantra. We have not gone away you know!

That is democracy.

Events, dear boy events might just change everything.

Look I am entitled to be sad we are leaving. If the proof were there that this would be life enhancing for everyone and it was well planned and thought out, I think I could have shrugged and got on with it.

Sadly, I don't think that was or will be the case. Even more interesting times ahead this year I think.

Sorry I don't understand your comment.

The UK isn't unique in allowing said contracts.

OK, another way: How many food banks are there in Spain?
How many people in Spain who in work use food banks?

Unemployment was also very low during slavery.
Does this mean that slavery is a solution for unemployment?

Who are you and "the dragged along half" going to vote for that you couldn`t have voted for at the GE?

It's not difficult to find out so why didn't you?
Try this:

Did you know that 1.5 million people per year are provided with basic foods by food banks in Spain?

It might well do but there is no relevance for that frankly ridiculous statement in the context of this debate.
None.

Any way, there's your proof that Thrugelmir was correct.

Over 20% of the population live below the poverty line in Spain. Like the UK the bulk of the wealth is concentrated in an area of the country. Nothing to be proud of. Merely making an observation. Pretending all is well in many places is pure fallacy.
