O'Kelly Isley III Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 Well it hasn't taken long, but I see in today's English press that according to some economists any bounce from Brexit will quickly 'fizzle out'. Quelle surprise, as they say in Europe. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, I wasn't paying full attention when that figure was being discussed. If only there was a righteously-crusading poster who could provide the actual figure, and reiterate their reasoning. Alas, it seems unlikely. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
