At the moment it's all speculation not a certainty or do you know something the rest of us don't! Or was it just your crystal ball you were consulting!"No, it isn’t not speculation. The government think the Midlands will be 13% down in a no deal scenario. That is not speculation. That is a fact. Whether the midlands will indeed be down that much you could argue is speculation. But the fact that the government think that is not speculation. And yet they continue. -Matt | |||

"When people debate Brexit on these forums and provide links and statistics to back up their argument I often wonder why bother! I dont think anyone with any real political clout will read these forums and be swayed to intervene and try to reverse brexit or campaign for another referendum. I understand though that people often want to to vent, I just think if people get so worked up there must be a more suitable platform where their arguments might have more impact " This is the thing that gets me. “No one with any political clout reads these forums” and yet the referendum was decided on a tiny majority and voted on ‘by the people’. Who do you think those people are that voted, if they are not the people on this forum. On other forums. Your neighbours etc? -Matt | |||

I think the difference between yes and no was approx a million people and im pretty sure the percentage of uk population reading forums on fab is considerably lower than a million people. Im not saying people cant keep at it on these forums i just dont see the logic. Its been over a year since the referendum and yet remain voters are still posting Stats, figures and links etc. Just get over it. Had i lived in the UK i would have voted remain but i dont. | |||

The government think that a no deal scenario will see the economy of the West Midlands shrink by 13%.
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2018/02/08/brexit-impact-studies-leak-reveals-regions-will-hit-hardest/
In the post truth world -13% is the very definition of being fine.....were it not so tragic, it'd be amusing.
At the moment it's all speculation not a certainty or do you know something the rest of us don't! Or was it just your crystal ball you were consulting!
No, it isn’t not speculation. The government think the Midlands will be 13% down in a no deal scenario. That is not speculation. That is a fact. Whether the midlands will indeed be down that much you could argue is speculation. But the fact that the government think that is not speculation. And yet they continue.

Presumably who ever wrote the report was speculating, so the contents are pure speculation and nothing more!Just like other speculation that as failed to materialise!Time will tell!
You would prefer that complex decisions that effect the lives of millions should be made on a whim with no analysis whatever? Yes/No
When a complex simulation model is used to design an aeroplane wing, is that "speculation"? Yes/No
Considering the complexity has the fact that the direction and magnitude that the economy has taken been pretty well predicted? Yes/No
We aren't talking about wings though are we as presumably you would know what plane they were being designed for and work accordingly! Once you know what the deal is you can speculate about it, you just like the worst case scenario because it fits your way of thinking.
I was trying to dumb-down some questions that require some quite complex balancing and assessment.
Well done failing to comprehend to the simplified version too.
It seems weird that you respond to a series of direct questions by ignoring them completely and discussing something else. At least, it is odd unless the topic is too complex for you to engage with. Having seen your posts in other threads I have to conclude that is the case.
You are an odd chap "Pompous as ever! With armchair experts like you I don't need to answer anything as you already know the answers. Say hello to your wife for me, oh no best not to it's a secret you are on here! | |||

That's the challenge. I've provided a lot on a number of theeads. Brexiteersnever quite manage as experts and data are unreliable apparently...unless it agrees with them.
Still, I'd like to see someone give it a go.
You don't seem up to it though
Better things to do with my time fortunately, perhaps Hans and Helga could help with the data!Ask someone at the EU as you seem to have more in common with them than your fellow countrymen!
So posing legitimate questions is treason now is it? I trust you'll enjoy watching the W Midlands disappear up it's own post brexit fundament....
Who mentioned treason!? The West Midlands will be fine along with the rest of the Uk.

"When people debate Brexit on these forums and provide links and statistics to back up their argument I often wonder why bother! I dont think anyone with any real political clout will read these forums and be swayed to intervene and try to reverse brexit or campaign for another referendum. I understand though that people often want to to vent, I just think if people get so worked up there must be a more suitable platform where their arguments might have more impact " A n extemelly valid and very relevant point. It always amuses me when people on these forums ask for facts to back up an opinion. Would anyone really use a forum such as this to form an opinion or investigate issues. ? At best it can be used to pass idle time . I have even seen posters posting links to back up their facts and post links back to other members posts. I would think that the number of members who read these forums is probably less than 100 and more likely to be around thirty . | |||

On here at least you get a broad spectrum of views. Not all of it very well informed but some, from both sides, make good points. | |||
