Whenever I see this statement (fact) I always question how many of those jobs are low quality self employed deliveroo employment. No disrespect to those workers, but the rise of this type of work has been significant.http://www.tradingeconomics.com/articles/021520170...

The graph was of companies going bankrupt. Was that not clear? Not individuals. The graph was a response to your claim that all companies that you know are doing really really well. The graph shows one of two things, either your sample is way too small, or you are telling porkies. Unless you think that companies going bankrupt are a sign of company doing well.
No need for any explanation from me at all. The graph was presented as verifiable data from ONS. I didn't say what's causing the graph to look as it does. Where did I ascribe anything?
Companies don't go bankrupt but even if they did, if there is no correlation, then why post it on a Brexit related thread?No need for any explanation from me at all.

Linked to cost of living going up, linked to brexit.
Feel free to link to any good news. No one is stopping you, go ahead.
That doesn't mean those that want to can't discuss bad news.

As cost of living goes up, so peoples disposable income goes down - many businesses are based on people spending their disposable income on stuff.

You and your co-pilot will never admit to being wrong all the time I have a hole in my derriere. Feel free to link to any good news. No one is stopping you, go ahead.

As for "discussing bad news" you are probably the most prolific poster of so called bad news of Brexit" on this entire forum so why not keep this thread restricted to the positives "benefits" as per the thread title?
Bet you can't. - Other Brexit threads are: < ^ > HTH

I was just responding to the graph showing the huge increase in companies going bust.

We could get back to listing all the laws we'll now get rid of here in the benefits thread. That was going well.

To be a true innovator and visionary you can’t listen to too many people and we all know that a camel is really a horse designed by a committee don't we...... Often attributed to Sir Alec Issigonis - being a car forum I assume you know who he is

I partly agree with this, its important listening to genuinely clever people in a chosen field for research purposes, people like slasher and his mate could clearly be clever but they are very narrow minded. Being a team player in innovation is important, being able to manage a team of innovators is a skill in its own right. No certificate allows on its own gives you this skill.Some of the people I work alongside are visionaries using say CAD, or by sketching out ideas, brainstorming and remaining positive even though 100 ideas are terrible a single good one might appear that gets expanded upon.
Some of the posters on here remind me of school teachers, life is not a spelling test. If I wrote a document I know its probably full of errors but you would get the point, I might give it to the team member that is much better at Englishing than I am if it was going anywhere important.
How many people on here can sculpt or paint a masterpiece, said people could be totally illiterate, does that make them stupid?
I know none of this relates to EU or Brexit, but life is about creating an atmosphere of positivity and the crazy thought that anything is possible.
I know who I would like to be stuck on a desert island with, life is tough enough lets just get on with it.

Well if slasher and his little gaggle of (not so) merry men's doom laden predictions come true you may well get your wish

It is possible it is linked to the 15% drop in currency, being enough in some cases to push companies with exposure to such a drop, whether their product/service has enough non-£ content that 15% would really hurt.
Of course "it's possible".It is possible it is linked to the 15% drop in currency, being enough in some cases to push companies with exposure to such a drop, whether their product/service has enough non-£ content that 15% would really hurt.
Equally it's possible that being members of the EU led to an ever burgeoning number of bankruptcies in the first place.
1-1 on bulls
t statistical bingo 
My bet would be on there being no single cause and that it will depend on the type of company involved.

So, I asked what link there was to Brexit, jlynne stuck to his guns saying that it's obviously caused by brexit..erm.. because.. ..and then we have the answer. Changes in rules introduced by HMRC have made the use of personal service companies less of a tax dodge than they used to be - so they get shut down in a single block, giving us the peak.
Absolutely nothing to do with Brexit
Number of technology companies setting up in the UK more than doubles this side of the Brexit vote

Jim O'Neill (ex- Goldman, defined the BRICS etc), ardent Remainer has said, whilst he regrets the result, it gives us a unique opportunity to get ahead in the rapidly changing world economy, especially in Asia.

Let me have a go, some EU laws which should definitely be repealed, but equally definitely will not be. Partly because they are hugely damaging and so obviously worthwhile, and partly because there will be no repealing of anything significant. If anything, EU laws will be made worse. We could get back to listing all the laws we'll now get rid of here in the benefits thread. That was going well.
Large Combustion Plant Directive - resulting in the closure of our coal fired power stations putting our electricity supply at risk and massively inflating the price of what power we will have,
Waste framework directive - responsible for councils getting out of the waste collection business and the dramatic rise in fly tipping, amongst other things.
In 5 years time, these will both still be in place.

What TYPE of companies?Both slasher and mr lynn will ignore the facts whenever they don't fit the story. Here's a quote from Slasher earlier:

Interesting that so many think I'd make it up? Why?
Because you consistently post stuff that proves to be wrong, and then fail to accept that you were wrong. jjlynn27 said:

One question; any other event that you might think has the same influence on data as Brexit? I'd love to know which one if there is one.
