Brexit Wars 3 and another seems like this farmers is not looking forward to using the millions of economically inactive who are queueing up to work 12 days in fields… A Leave-voting business owner has said he regrets the decision because his fruit farms will collapse if he has no access to EU workers after Brexit. Harry Hall, of the Hall Hunter Partnership soft fruit company, said he was in favour of Brexit because of the issue of sovereignty but was concerned by the Government’s approach to negotiations. Mr Hall was speaking to BBC Radio 4’s Today programme as industry body British Summer Fruits (BSF) claimed prices for strawberries and raspberries could “soar” by between 35 per cent and 50 per cent if Brexit restricted access to EU labour. The Independent – 22 Jun 17 Leave voter complains his business will fail unless he can keep his 2,500... If EU labourers disappear 'I don't have a business. It's as simple as that,' says Harry Hall, whose company farms 1,100 acres

Brexit Wars 3 Sir_Buns-Up_Knealing: Now that is offensive. Shows your anti -foreigner prejudice. But why is a tin pot country like the UK with all the advantages not growing even faster? Has God decreed a ceiling on growth levels? If you honestly don’t know the answer to the question “why are small under developed economies growing faster than very large, mature, established ones” you probably shouldn’t engage in discussions about economics Buns.

Brexit Wars 3 petethenovice: Iain Duncan-Smith says it’s time for experts to handle Brexit as 'there are problems ahead The New European Now there is a cretin. But obviously Dominich Cumminski should lend some of his super special advisers to take on the negotiating tasks. Such as the latest two he has brought in to boost the brain power of Number 10… IMHO, SBK

Brexit Wars 3 HuwJarse: Of course tin pot Eastern European countries are growing faster, they are coming from a lower base. Now that is offensive. Shows your anti -foreigner prejudice. But why is a tin pot country like the UK with all the advantages not growing even faster? Has God decreed a ceiling on growth levels? IMHO, SBK

After dismissing them for the last four years, Iain Duncan-Smith says that Brexit now needs to hear from the experts to make it a success.

Brexit Wars 3 Eadwig: The only thing a child might get confused over is when they try to add in the older, more stagnant, Western economies, like E.g. the UK. I can see why a child would struggle there, As adults, of course, we go to the most trusted neutral forecasters, such as the IMF and world bank, for their view. Averaging the two we get UK growth, now and forecasted 1.4% (too high in my opinion without very large immigration) and EU growth now around 1.85% and falling towards 1.5% under-done. You go on blaming the corona virus though, like it isn’t coming to the UK too. In years to come you’ll be saying, once we nearly exceeded the EU in growth, but the corona virus ruined it for us. @eadwig the figures I gave you were ACTUAL GDP growth up to the end of 2019. You on the other hand pull up a forecast for the future that takes no account of the total shutdown of the Chinese economy and the inevitable impact that is going to have on the EU. Furthermore, I gave you meaningful comparisons against other similar UK countries to the UK - Germany, France and Italy that showed UK growth was way ahead. Of course tin pot Eastern European countries are growing faster, they are coming from a lower base. So you judge an economies success by the number of cranes on the skyline. To call you a child is an insult to children. You are a cretin.

Brexit Wars 3 HuwJarse: Amuses me that you think the EU is growing faster than the UK. Even a child can see that is not the case now. I’m sure many small things amuse you, @HuwJarse. It mildly amuses me that you wont accept the IMF’s projections of faster EU growth but, to use your own characterisation, you expect me to trust some pro-brexiteer rag’s forecasts. Tell us which part of the dotted line projection you’re struggling with and we can pass that on to your therapist. Or is it the part that shows EU growth clearly above the UK now and in the future? You never know, it might help as you are denying all such scenarios and have been for a while. Its probably a symptom. image.png1413x950 136 KB You’re not far wrong about it being obvious to a child. A child could indeed count the cranes across Eastern Europe and in like-sized UK cities and come to the conclusion that growth is much greater in those countries. The only thing a child might get confused over is when they try to add in the older, more stagnant, Western economies, like E.g. the UK. I can see why a child would struggle there, As adults, of course, we go to the most trusted neutral forecasters, such as the IMF and world bank, for their view. Averaging the two we get UK growth, now and forecasted 1.4% (too high in my opinion without very large immigration) and EU growth now around 1.85% and falling towards 1.5% under-done.

Brexit Wars 3 john.a.reeves: SBHUA - hi expand/collapse Sir_Buns-Up_Knealing: So you are saying that the dotard Brexit voters were intent on removing freedoms from Remainers? No … call it ‘collateral damage’ m8 JAR Man shoots himself in the head. A passer by finds him lying dying on the floor and asks him what happened? "The injured man says “Its OK its just collateral damage.” If this Brexit farce carries on and the execrable Patel gets her way in two years time we’ll be hearing stories like this: “I don’t know, its so unfair. Our Johnny went to University and got two degrees in Industrial engineering but he can’t get a job anywhere. Every position is being taken by Indians and other foreigners because of the Government’s “Brightest and best” immigration policy. They say that these people are better educated and harder working than our own. British jobs should be for British people. This is not what I voted Leave and Tory for.” That’s irony. IMHO, SBK

Brexit Wars 3 john.a.reeves: Give me one good reason that the rights which we pro EU citizens have enjoyed for 47 years should be stripped from us Democracy JAR So you are saying that the dotard Brexit voters were intent on removing freedoms from Remainers? I thought the whole thing about Brexit was to increase freedom for the British? But of course the entire garbage Brexit project is built on lies by liars such as this one by a drunk (still gone AWOL), IMHO, SBK

Brexit Wars 3 Eadwig: So you were wrong, even using the figures from the august publication, and by that I mean it comes out in August. It is big of you to admit it. Not that you could do anything else given the figures from the IMF and the World bank. You do make me laugh though, scratching around with forecast predictions in a desperate attempt to try and prove you’re not an idiot. Good luck with your UK coal mine, by the way. What has August got to do with anything. Why don’t you actually read the link, you can actually select the country or region and a timescale to view GDP growth for 2019. Even economic illiterates like you should be able to manage that. Amuses me that you think the EU is growing faster than the UK. Even a child can see that is not the case now.
