Remainers should get a grip and realise Brexit ‘impact’ papers are meaningless
You cannot forecast economics 15 years ahead, any more than you could predict the winner of the 2033 Grand National from horses not yet conceived
WHAT fools Remainers made of themselves yesterday, swallowing whole the ridiculous Brexit “impact” papers. In doing so they revealed three things:
First, that they have learned nothing from Project Fear’s failure either to predict accurately or change anyone’s mind.
Second, that their grounds for seeing Brexit as an economic disaster are thin indeed if they need to rely on this guff.
Third, that for all their “greater education” they have zero common sense.
You cannot forecast economics 15 years ahead, any more than you could predict the winner of the 2033 Grand National from horses not yet conceived.
Anything can happen. Who, 15 years ago, foresaw the explosion of smartphones, or social media, a global financial crisis, President Trump or Brexit?
Figures of two, five or eight per cent of GDP are meaningless. And not only because they come from the same Europhile Whitehall bean-counters whose pre-referendum scares proved so wrong.
We also know these leaked preliminary figures are based on false assumptions.
But even if they proved accurate, an eight per cent brake on our GDP over 15 years won’t deter one Leaver.
They know the road could be bumpy. They think independence is worth it.
Besides, they don’t measure the nation’s success solely by its GDP.
What concerns them more are the pressing issues Tory MP Nick Boles and others highlighted in yesterday’s Sun: a better, more viable NHS, far more affordable homes, a revolution in technical skills.
Our economy is doing fine. Record numbers in work. Historic lows in unemployment. Wages, consumer confidence and the Pound perking back up.
Remainers overlook it all, to obsess instead over flimsy forecasts of doom.
They should get a grip.
Off they Trot
EVERY day decent people are deserting a Labour Party engulfed by hate-filled Trots.
A respected council leader in London’s Haringey was ordered by Corbyn’s Momentum cult to alter her housing policy because it fell foul of their ideology.
She quit rather than betray voters.
Meanwhile 70 Labour council leaders have united to brand Momentum’s diktats “an affront to democracy”.
Don’t say you weren’t warned.
A Corbyn Government would be run by Momentum and the unions, imposing their toxic beliefs on every family in Britain.
Wad a racket
ONLY the BBC could consider imposing on newsreaders a new pay cap . . . of a jaw-dropping £320,000 a year.
Theresa May is handling Brexit and all our other problems on half that.
But BBC hacks apparently deserve it for reading out loud from an autocue.
How does this mindset take root?
When the State bungs you £4billion a year.
