Have we heard Johnson talk of tax rises? I suspect not (though maybe he has) as Johnson wouldn't want to own such bad news...and I said that I thought I have heard Sunak talk of tax rises because I can't recall exactly when I did - what tax he was talking about - or in what context - other than the pandemic...what else do you want?
 
Johnson is clinging to the fantasy that the UK can grow its way out of most of the financial crisis. I think Sunak knows that is delusional, but doesn't really want to say. Pity that Brexit is going to take a large dump over the economy soon, and Johnson's idea that it will be difficult to see the Brexit-related damage with all the noise of Covid is mistaken.

One way of looking at it is that brexit is now going to have slightly less affect to the economy than before.. everyone's economy is screwed so at least we screwed together

Can start again

Only positive I can take

I missed the positive there. Is that some people will feel better about being screwed if others are unnecessarily screwed too?

I would put it more like the economy may emerge crippled, then Brexit will kick its crutches away. I don't see how that will help recovery.

It won't help recovery. That's not what I said

Im saying that the timing is fortunate. Our economy is so buggered anyways that it will have less affect than it would of

Silver lining

I'd still rather it cancelled.

I think the timing is spectacularly unfortunate, although avoidable. An economy that is buggered by external events may be even more vulnerable to lasting damage by additional unnecessary ones. Any responsible Govt, even a rabble of feral Brexiters, should extend to spare the extra damage which will affect the poor much more than the hedge fund traders.

You little ray of sunshine. Try a modicum of balance.
 
Also, this thing is not going to go away for a while. But hang on we still have pneumonia which kills people, and a load of other stuff that kills, it's about time we stood up and said "nutz to it, let us take ours chances".

The BBC, quick to attck the government over every step they have taken to control COVID, have news readers who have obviously been away on holiday sunning themselves. God I hate the BBC.

If you think the BBC is against the government I'd avoid Channel 4 news if I were you. Loads worse.

Plus even a brainless idiot like me can tell that by the colour of Kristen Guru Murphy it's obvious he has been away on holiday a lot. As despite everything that is going on in the world, I agree with you and our fellow gammons that frequent the dark recesses of the Mail on Line comments sections that newsreaders with a tan is a legitimate reason to get really angry. God I hate Brookside and Countdown.

Not even a "rabble of feral Brexiters" comes close to the insane delusional rants of idiotic Remainers who cannot accept that they lost a democratic election.

It wasn't an election, It was a consultative (aka pre-legislative, or in Brexiter language, advisory) referendum. If you don't know the difference between those, you really should just stay quiet.

Enjoy all the devastation that this will bring to the country. Just remember to accept responsibility for it, although you probably won't because most Brexiters are all mouth and no trousers.

if you have any examples of delusional rants made by Remainers, do tell. There is a massive list of lies told by Brexiters. Wanna hear a few?
