 They'll never get over it. Vote for the Lib Dems. I notice their leader hasn't the balls yet to say they they would campaign to go back in. Now that would be a fucking disaster.

I don't think they'd go down that route again after Jo Swinson tried it and deservedly got her arse handed to her

Highest expected GDP growth of any of the G7 countries for 2022 yet some call it a disaster. Bad losers.

-9.2 + 7.4 = ????

Go on Bolty lad, crack out the calculator.

Oh deary deary me

This is the best graph GDP growth chart I can find it’s from Q1. Anyhow the interesting figure is the average growth over the period, EU countries and UK much the same. 2021 UK had top growth of all the G7.

It's Mounts chart of the week that shows us bumbling along....

Well, if that's not a reason to crack open the bubbly, I don't know what is.

That chart has just knocked his mate Bolty’s proclamation into a cocked hat.

It shows that our expected growth is the Lowest of the G7 countries

In fairness, Bolty lives in the upside down so all his charts are the wrong way round.

So we were top growth in the G7 in 2021 thanks for confirming it.      

Edited July 1, 20224 yr by Mounts Kipper

Does anyone have a graph before Covid too, because you have to compare like for like.  For example, we had good growth last year but that's nothing to shout about if we dropped more than most during the pandemic.

Yes! When can I expect the utility bills, fuel cost, shopping expenditure to be lower? Oh😔

When the fuel/food costs ease worldwide, unless the government intervene, currently they are putting taxes up hence our weaker growth forecast in 2023.

Bolty was talking about the future and saying we were top.

We’re second bottom.

Harping on about the past like a remoaner

2023 is next year. And as has already been pointed out, look at the left hand side of the graph you posted earlier...

So, do you think it’s fair for me to surmise that regardless of the interpretation of this chart, it actually means fuck all for my circumstances right now?

Surprised you thought it might have anything remotely to do with your circumstances.

As the argument has now been lost, comprehensively, expect something about just being a negative nelly and unpatriotic 

Apparently being a patriot is a perfectly reasonable defence to breaking international law so the good folk of WW can give it large 

Funny this, but the Tories are all over the shop these days and with them being in Government it's not really a good position to be in.
