The economic consequences of Brexit (Vol 3)

Jesus this is hard work. The post-vote recession was averted by swift Bank of England action immediately after the stty result came through. Had they not acted, the Remain campaign would, in all likelihood, have been proven right. But, rightly, nobody wanted that, so Plan B was devised. The BoE acted. Recession averted. We are where we are now. Which is a bit worse off than we would otherwise have been with a Remain vote due to lost growth. Which is a shame.
Of course, we haven't left yet. We've just kicked the worst down the road.
How many times does this have to be said? "Look Look we were right!! It was all Project Fear!!!" Conveniently missing out the vital information from the desired Leavist narrative, of course and conveniently never acknowledging that the lies of the Leaveist Project Fear about Turkey joining the EU, the Superstate and the EU Army and all that schemozzle hasn't happened and won't happen.
Sick of it all. Bullstters, everywhere. You're not going to get away with it.

I've never read such deluded tripe!
Are you gonna attempt a cogent rebuttal for those of us who like to see well reasoned thoughts?The big one here is what exact 'swift action' did the Bank of England take to avert the recession we were meant to have, and why was that apparently not an option when the predictions of recession were being made?

"expected" is not a universal term for all people, as it could mean recession for some, and modest growth for others. However growth at 0.5% in Q4 2017 will confound some and pleasantly surprise others. It is unexpected ( which for some, means Emergency)

same article said said:
- However, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) said the broader picture was "slower and more uneven" growth.
- In 2017 as a whole, growth was 1.8% compared with 1.9% in 2016 - the slowest since 2012
Slowest since 2012 eh? And how does that compare to what might have happened if there wasn't a Brexit? If you claim to have a robust answer, I don't think I'll be the only one to call you a liar.

Do you not see how ridiculous this statement is?I don't know if it is correct or incorrect, irregardless do you not see the gigantic void of logic with your statement?

Same old jj - 50% insults with weird obsessions and 50% flat out denial.

LOL.Slowest since 2012 eh? And how does that compare to what might have happened if there wasn't a Brexit? If you claim to have a robust answer, I don't think I'll be the only one to call you a liar.
My reply was a smiley + quote from the same article. Btw, what's with you and insults? Did you count them again or something?
Yes, slowest since 2012. Per article. That someone else quoted. You can call me whatever you like. When I call you a liar I've provided the evidence. When you tried that gambit last time, I asked you for the same. Provide the evidence. You refused.
Now, jog on.

Yet writing "I've never read such deluded tripe!" is the perfect response ?
Well, if he is a hit and run poster, then it might get his attention more than politely asking him to justify his deluded tripe.. I would imagine that the Bank of England was doing something after the referendum.
The following is Carney's speech on the 24th June 2016. I'm sure he has a better idea of what is going on than random blokes on the internet.

That says what they can do, if circumstances require. What action did they actually take?I would imagine that the Bank of England was doing something after the referendum.

Shouldn’t we ask the person who is making the claims about what occurred?
And what claim have I made other than Carney has a better idea than random blokes on the internet.Ghibli said:
You could always drop Carney a message.
Why bother, when Electric Soup already has the information?sidicks said:

Now let me think, is this question directed at me or someone else who has not been mentioned?
Thinking would be good:This question was directed at you, it was a direct response to your post.

This question was directed to you, but not about you, hence the reference to a third party (‘the person’)sidicks said:
