Mad_Cyril Despite his pedantry and general social awkwardness I still think Hugo would be a generous lover who would at least give you a reacharound while tenderly nuzzling your neck while on the job.

whatever

bosstrabs

Lol

Unless you utter something illogical whilst in the throes of it. All bets are off as Hugo decouples and heads off into the weeds

Not sure about that - I’d rather a girl shaved down there

hugopal You can’t keep pinning everything on Brexit when the Eurozone is also in recession, has high unemployment and high levels of inflation.

benson

alistair our economy used to be 90% of Germany. Now it’s 70%. So we’ve underperformed vs Europe. Which is, of course, nothing to do with Brexit.

alistair Alistair is a Brexiteer?

Yeah, but muh sovrinty.

alistair

benson Germany is also in recession

Yeah, nothing whatsoever to do with Brexit! It’s clearly because I moved to Germany just before Brexit, thus providing a big loss to the UK and a massive boost to the German economy.

alistair

benson I dare say you’re right. What’s your source?

alistair

Along_the_Wire no, I’d go back in to the EU in heartbeat. I just think its facile to blame everything on it

Millsy

And waddabout the European Army! And the fact Turkey might join (they’re quite brown).

alistair

Millsy Turkey may join. Behave, no one wants that apart from them 😂

benson

alistair yes. I agree. Ours is worse. That’s my point

Millsy

I’m not sure anyone is saying Brexit is the only reason we’re in the shit, but it’s certainly making our version of shit a lot worse.

alistair

Millsy the sad thing is that we had the best of both worlds before (full access to the single market and customs union without monetary union)

benson

hugopal Or winning as you’d like to call it.

Some data

https://data.worldbank.org/?locations=DE-GB

As Mark Carney pointed out a few days ago, in 2016 the British economy was 90% the size of Germany’s, but now it is less than 70%. Now that tax cuts and doubling down on inequality have bombed as a solution, there is fresh logic in forging better post-Brexit economic links with the EU.
