Here's how the economic forecasts were done:

1. Create a forecast model for the current economy, with multiple variables.
2. Change one variable (ie Brexit and 3% tarriffs with the EU).
3. Keep all other variables the same.
4. Come up with fantasy figures.

If you have any understanding of statistical models you'll realise that there's a causality effect on the other variables. This hasn't been reflected in the forecasts. Nor has the fact we could trade more freely with the rest of the world. It doesn't take into account that the Eurozone is about to enter another sh*t storm way worse than before. It's not Greece that is fcked this time, it's France and Italy.

So the figure of 3 million jobs and families being worse off by £4,300 each pa is pure bunkum. It's a worst case scenario and assumes we wouldn't adjust as an economy at all. That's why Remain are saying it COULD cost us 3m jobs, it COULD cost us £xxx pa. It's all absolute horse sh*t.

My view is that staying in and being linked to the failing (and about to get much worse) Eurozone is far more risky than leaving and running our own affairs for our own interest.

My view entirely, hence I have been actively campaigning for "Brexit".

In terms of forecasts, the scare stories and the statistics of doom and gloom have highlighted the sheer emptiness of the case for remaining in an unelected, unaccountable, unelected EU. Talk of anyone being worse off by Brexit is highly misleading and of the many economists who have made projections for 2030, none have suggested that the UK would be poorer.

I am very conscious that a WILLO thread could easily emerge as I get on my "Soapbox" (All too easily) so perhaps I shouldn't get too involved on here !

You're absolutely right, Nick! Have tracked back your responses to Toryboy Matt who like his party of choice seems incapable of actually answering a single question put before him (see PMQS, Matt!). Thank you Nick for pointing out that Matt seems to think that he is able to speak on behalf of everybody else with continuing references of 'we know'. He has adopted Cameron's tactics of just brandishing childish insults at any form of opposition. So from now on, I, for one, am simply ignoring Matt's puerile, troll-like behaviour as he is incapable of forwarding a mature comment to this debate at present.

Back to the debate now...how many of us would appreciate the break in this wretched EU referendum campaigning to continue until 23rd June?

I think he should change his username to Matt Themselves

You are of mediocre mindset, poor debating skills and are full of prejudice.

It's no wonder you are bigging up Gusset

'Toryboy' - such a cutting insult.

Don't upset the feeble minded, Hoof. It's a form of abuse.

You are playing the man not the ball yet accuse others of poor debating skills.

Use your intellectualism and argue the points.

Gusset, for all your high minded ideals (the Socrates quote, etc), Oy have used most of the last few pages in having a go at me and others.

Practice what you preach.

I'd say mentioning your obvious intellect is painting you in a positive light. That is not slander, the opposite in fact.

Rubbish. It's all part of your tactics to annoy, inflame and discredit.

I have known you long enough to know this.

And now the full story..and why they have to do it.

"Historical reasons. The first predecessor institution, the Common Assembly
of the European Coal and Steel Community, met in Strasbourg because it could not be accommodated at the seat of the European Coal and Steel Community in Luxembourg. This developed into today's European Parliament. Most of the Parliament would like to move the seat to Brussels because most other European institutions (notably the Commission) are there, but France would not agree to give up the Strasbourg seat. So they compromised on the Parliament doing most of its meaningful work (in the committees) at Brussels and having most of its plenary sessions (i.e. speechifying) at Strasbourg."

Gusset, you have turned very dull lately.

One wonders whether the lack of stimuli (in your case, finger painting with five year olds, followed by Union meetings called to demand unrealistic wage demands because your role is 'too stressful' is driving you stir crazy.

Get a job and get out man.

Your ignorance in the role of teaching is astounding, although it does beg the question that you use the finger painting line to inflame. Still it gives Jimenez some insults to copy.
Your ignorance of union officials activities is also astounding. Do you know what a union rep actually does? I doubt it. Do you know how many teachers are leaving the system in the uk to either work abroad or give up? I doubt it? Do you know how many teachers have left due to stress or even committed suicide because of it? I doubt it.

I have got a job thanks


Finally, Do you still love me?

I will be quite blunt, I really don't care for what you say as I question its accuracy and your contempt for anyone not involved is public sector work is palpable, demeaning and insulting.
