I’ve four to five females in the house. My ratio seems to be 1 toilet roll tube to each fire in each room each day.
-
Oh oh. Here we go again. 😬😁

so more of the same but with a different face at the front. 🤷♂️ People are strange.

I’m going to go cry into my pillow now.

Im sure I could find a little old Grannie who’s dying from the cold that would love some of his altruism. Hell, I’ll even throw all the logs for this successful businessman who’s family is desperately cold and Granny. Winner winner chicken dinner.
-
Resounding or astounding?
-
I offered you two sustainable solutions. 1, Buy unprocessed logs in and split til your hearts content. By far the most economical solution (dying grannies aside) 2, I’ll take you up on your offer. You come cut and split my logs and I’ll give you some in return. That is what you’re asking for, right? I don’t see anyone else offering you anything else other than pats on the back. 🤷♂️You’ll need a lot of them to warm the house.

But not in the EU, and the mood of the people seems to indicate they would like less not more ties. Switzerland's inflation is also far below that of many EU members. Close ties yes, but still a distinct separation and like Norway they prosper very well being out of the EU. I also remember very well that when the terms of Brexit where announced it was reported that it ruffled many a feather within Norwegian Politics due to the favorable conditions the UK got without the ties Norway has to endure. So two European Countries that are not in the EU that have far lower rates of inflation and are prospering very well being outside of the EU. Something that the Remoaners seem to ignore or are completely oblivious to. Being in the EU is not a prerequisite to prosperity within Europe.
-
Total reets. 😁
-
So Norway being a non-EU country has a far lower rate of inflation than its neighbouring EU member? It’s almost as if inflation is not Brexit related. 🤣 Or rather, having a low/lower rate of inflation within Europe is not contingent on being in the EU.
-
Ok, I concede that point.
-
I don’t work in an EU country though. And I’m not shielded from HMRC either. Inflation in Norway is over 10% yet I only received a 4.2% pay increase. In effect a 6% pay cut and an even higher tax burden in the U.K.
-
Out of interest why does no one go after Norway and Switzerland for not being in the EU? They are aligned but not full members, neither are on the EU flag or currency. They are both prosperous countries doing rather well for themselves. Why is emulating them not seen as a viable option for the U.K.?
-
Exactly
-
Between the period of Article 50 being signed and the outbreak of Covid Germanys economy was in a far worse shape than the UK’s. As you well know because we’ve discussed this previously. This was also the period where the doom mongers had the exact opposite predicted. So yes, you’re being pedantic.
-
So we agree it’s an utterly pointless exercise then? It all comes down to a political perspective and nothing more. You weight it heavily on Brexit and I the factors at hand. Regardless, we’re all fecked. Be it the U.K, EU, USA or globally. Im working in Brazil right now, inflation through the roof. Even here Ukraine is used as the reason for all the counties problems.
-
Remember the criteria. No pro-EU affiliation. Can only be points that can be directly and solely attributing evidence that Brexit was a detriment and that no other factors such as Covid or Ukraine can be a contributing factor.
-
Yeh, thought as much. 🙄 So you’ve no answer at all. You just wanted a whinge 🤣
-
Damn, really struggling to find that list, huh? Post Brexit but pre Covid Germany was virtually in recession and avoided it on a technicality. The U.K. was not. Post Covid and in the midst of the Ukraine War there is rampant global inflation and a supposed energy crisis, an energy crisis that the EU will and is feeling far worse than the U.K. and you’re adamant the effects we’re all facing is because of your desire to remain in the EU? Wise up. But yeh, that list please….
-
There’s no point to any of this. It’s all BS. But following BJ’s logic you can’t post up a link that’s Pro-EU. And I specifically asked for evidence that cannot be attributed to other factors such as as Covid. Still waiting.
-
He asked and I provided. Job done.
-
Why waste time delving further? You wanted a list and I proceeded you that list. Now, how’s about you provide me the list I requested? As BJ says, no pro-EU links please.
-
I 100% agree there. So by your reckoning any counter argument cannot be pro-EU. Got it.
-
No, you asked for a list and I provided one via a link. At what point did you demand of me that I personally type each point out? You never. You got your list. As to my question I’ll even let you use google if you can find an answer. Like I said, I’ll wait…….
-
So counter it with your load of bollocks. But only bollocks that can be singularly attributed directly to Brexit and not any other factor such as Covid or Ukraine. I’ll wait….
