OT. The futures Bright, the Futures Brexit!!!

Because the whole idea is based on "without loss of pay", if people had their pay cut by 4/5, the idea might be plausible

So did wages fall when we the average working week was cut from 5.5 to 5? Were there mass redundancies? How on earth do other countries manage then, when their pay rates haven't fallen and they don't have mass unemployment?

The key is productivity and its entirely possible to increase that, in fact it has been possible (as other countries have done) to progressively reduce working hours, but of course what has happened largely is that the benefits of technology and increased productivity have by and large gone into the pockets of the rich, hence why the gap between those on average incomes and the richest in society has grown considerably.

Splendid quote with which the close this thread maybe. The problem with the whole Brexit mess is that "the remainers were obsessed with the fact that they were right, and the leavers were obsessed with the fact that they won"!

But which would you prefer to be, GP? ‘Right’ or the ‘winner’?

Well on the basis that you regularly declared brexiteers didn't win, then surely you'd agree remaining was not right!

Fairly certain I’ve never ‘declared’ they ‘didn’t win’...just that they weren’t the ‘voice of the people’ and that the Referendum wasn’t the great exercise in democracy that the Leave camp claimed.

All academic now anyway, but I can safely say these will be my last words on the subject...this year and this decade.

I did suggest time for the thread to close - by reviving it 😊

Can't close it for 31days and 3hrs and 5mins and open it up on Dec30th 2020 to discuss what no deal will actually mean 😄😄😄

Brexit will define this year, despite the attempts of the lying charlatan to pretend otherwise. But its done as far as any decision is concerned so I've no more to say on the matter. May pop back in October to say "I told you so" but otherwise there will be no more from me on this thread. Let the Brexiteers enjoy whatever it is they think they have achieved.
