"Ah no. I'm moving back to the UK. Should I goto Dublin instead? Got an opportunity there." Houses arent cheap here, but Id always reccomend Dublin, wouldnt be living here if I didnt love it. Depends on how your offers stack up and what you reckon your cost of living will be. | |||

"Isn't Germany and the Europe also having problems and fear a recession? https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-04-17/german-investor-confidence-extends-drop-as-trade-risks-intensify" Its just Germany and they were in the same positiom a year ago. This is ebb and flow rather than boom and bust. Once the US sorts its trade out then the uncertainty in that area will be gone and that shoulfmd right things. After Novembers mid term elections we'll see some changes to US policy. | |||

"Can we blame corbyn for this or maybe some foreigners or maybe the best from the east? .A quick Google tells me.Year-on-year rate, the UK’s growth is now just 1.2 per cent, well below the 2.9 per cent rates seen in the US and 2.7 per cent in the eurozone in the final quarter of 2017. The ONS says it's a long term slow down in services.." But at least theres no trouble on the horizon for the services industry right? | |||

They are actually saying it's a drop even with the weather effect stripped out.
That includes a fall in manufacturing and a fall in construction due to skilled staff.
Only slightly Brexit related. More to do with debt and public confidence.
Debt is the main reason that there was not a crash after the referendum. Confidence is now waning.
This will eventually lead to a recession. Not just here | |||

" I agree short fluctuations are meaningless and longterm trends are the key - but there is lot of uncertainty for many UK companies at present which is stalling investment - that feeds into lower productivity compared with competitors and poorer overall performance. We need to train our workforce properly, not useful pseudo-apprenticeships but proper training, and start investing in our future. | |||

The 40+ trade deals which the EU have are just going to be "copy & pasted" into new agreements as Mr Fox believes will happen.

All the usual suspects, remoaners, predicting recession, and preaching economic doom and gloom.
And yet here we are 16 weeks later and economic growth has doubled.
The latest Office for National Statistics (ONS) figures show growth hit 0.4% in the 3 months to June, against 0.2% in the first quarter (I did say the slow down in the first quarter was attributed to the bad weather we experienced with the beast from the east, and that the economy would improve as the weather improved, looks like I've been proved correct).

The economy was at 0.5% growth in the middle of 2016 when the referendum happened. If you look at the ONS figures for each quarter since the referendum then it went up from 0.5% in the middle of 2016 to 0.7% in the last quarter of 2016. That's not a nose dive it's an increase. Quarterly figures in 2017 were pretty constant at 0.4% first quarter, 0.2% second quarter, 0.4% third quarter and 0.4% again for the last quarter. Then into 2018 it dropped to 0.2% first quarter and has doubled again 0.4% in the second quarter. | |||

"You also said that the bad weather reduced GDP, so what's the conclusion about the heatwave? Look at the expectation at B&Q after a miserable year precious to that. Who is spending in the economy? Retail spending has been ticking along but still based on debt or running down savings. Wage growth and inflation are running in parallel despite practically full employment. You'd expect wage inflation. Relatively steady retail jobs are disappearing at a worrying rate. The global economy has been booming but we haven't being seeing the same benefit as everyone else. Look at GDP growth relative to everyone else since 2015. Investment spending includes foreigners buying property and UK businesses because of the weakness of the pound. That is not expenditure on machinery or equipment to increase productivity. GDP includes share purchases. There has been a huge amount of money "invested" in share by backs to keep prices (and bonuses) up. There is also a lot of investment committed before the vote which is going through regardless. HS2, Crossrail and other infrastructure. An absence of bad news does not imply that everything in the garden is rosey. Not if everyone else has been doing better. There is a global correction/contraction/recession coming just at the point that we are cutting ourselves off from our biggest market. We will get a deal/deals in goods and produce but not services. A lot of this is completely independent of Brexit. Some not. The real question is are we as a country preparing for the gathering storm or twatting about with something that is not going to do anyone any good. | |||

Wages growth was +2.4% in June, slightly down from +2.5% in May. The plus sign means it's still in positive territory. Figures are easily obtainable from the ONS website. | |||

Ok genius explain economics to us lesser mortals.
So this isn't a good thing then, is that what you are saying
No, I didn't say it was a bad thing.
You did, however, say that unlessa country us in recession, then exports will go up every year.
Simply not true.
UK exports have been consistently increasing since 1992
From economics help website.
"Economic growth doesn’t necessarily lead to an increase in exports, although it often does...
Does an Increase in Economic Growth Cause increased Exports?
Economic growth could increase exports...it is also possible Economic Growth could harm exports. This is because high growth could cause inflationary pressures making UK exports less competitive. Also, higher growth may lead to higher interest rates. Higher interest rates could cause an appreciation in the exchange rate which makes exports less competitive....
Conclusion
There is not a perfect correlation between economic growth and exports. It also depends on the country. Some countries have exports as a major contributory factor in causing growth. Some countries like Japan have strong exports but low rates of growth. Other countries in the past like the UK have had strong growth, with pretty poor exports. Growth has been demand led, resulting in current account deficits."
UK exports year on year decreased 2006 to 2007, 2011 to 2012, and 2013 to 2014 - all in years of economic growth.

How many years in the last 10 have been "record years" for exports? "Every year according to you, because 'exports only go up if a country is not in recession'. You obviously don't understand that exports are affected by things such as interest rates, currency exchange, inflation, external countries' growth, etc, etc. It's called economics 101. And so, because you've been proven wrong (yet again), you try to change the narrative... You make a pathetic argument without any data, analysis or knowledge to support it....

I proved to you that what you said about 'every year that we're not in recession we have record levels of exports' is, quite frankly, wrong. I even gave you some of the years. I also gave you support of that by the 'economics help' website. I even gave you a very basic 101 in economics, proving that an increase in gdp does not necessarily mean an increase in exports, that other factors are also involved with increasing exports.
And now you're resorting to lying about what I have and haven't said.
Pathetic.
And rather disappointing from someone who is supposedly level 6 or 7 educated.
So how many years out of the last 10 have been record levels?
Do we have growth in exports every year we are not in recession?
So you can't tell us how many record years there have been in the last 10 years then.
So you admit you were lying and you know fuck all about basic economics then."And to answer your question....8 years of positive growth, 5 years of record exports...1 year if which was when we had negative growth.

Unless you're in a recession (or recovering from one), every year is going to be a record year
Some people have more chance of grasping rocking horse shit than grasping economics.
Ok genius explain economics to us lesser mortals.
So this isn't a good thing then, is that what you are saying
No, I didn't say it was a bad thing.
You did, however, say that unlessa country us in recession, then exports will go up every year.
Simply not true.
UK exports have been consistently increasing since 1992
From economics help website.
"Economic growth doesn’t necessarily lead to an increase in exports, although it often does...
Does an Increase in Economic Growth Cause increased Exports?
Economic growth could increase exports...it is also possible Economic Growth could harm exports. This is because high growth could cause inflationary pressures making UK exports less competitive. Also, higher growth may lead to higher interest rates. Higher interest rates could cause an appreciation in the exchange rate which makes exports less competitive....
Conclusion
There is not a perfect correlation between economic growth and exports. It also depends on the country. Some countries have exports as a major contributory factor in causing growth. Some countries like Japan have strong exports but low rates of growth. Other countries in the past like the UK have had strong growth, with pretty poor exports. Growth has been demand led, resulting in current account deficits."
UK exports year on year decreased 2006 to 2007, 2011 to 2012, and 2013 to 2014 - all in years of economic growth.
You must have tonnes of rocking horse shit, because you can't grasp economics.
How many years in the last 10 have been "record years" for exports?
Every year according to you, because 'exports only go up if a country is not in recession'.
You obviously don't understand that exports are affected by things such as interest rates, currency exchange, inflation, external countries' growth, etc, etc. It's called economics 101.
And so, because you've been proven wrong (yet again), you try to change the narrative...
You make a pathetic argument without any data, analysis or knowledge to support it....
Meanwhile the pile of rocking horse shit you've accumulated continues to grow.
Level 6 or 7 educated? More like year 6 or 7.
So if as you say, ever year was a record year for exports, its hardly surprising or worth commenting on then is it?
Where have I said every year is a record year for exports?! I've said the opposite!
You said unless a country is in recession, exports will go up every year, and therefore every year will be a record year for exports. I proved you wrong.
All that rocking horse shit you're collecting is getting inside your brain.
Oh, so you're saying no years in the last 10 have been record years, and that Hot Couple NW are wrong then?
