Britain’s economy appears to be shrinking at its fastest pace since the global financial crisis as a result of the vote to leave the European Union, but the rest of the region is holding up, surveys showed Friday.

The findings come as global financial leaders meeting in China identified the uncertainty generated by Britain’s decision to exit the EU, the world’s biggest economic bloc, as a key risk to the global economy.

But while the International Monetary Fund has trimmed its world growth estimates, surveys of hundreds of business executives in Europe indicate the economic damage is so far largely contained to Britain.

Pissant!!!

Your back :D

I thought you were banned sadly.

I agree with you, and most brexiteers in England including Farage admitted there might be some short term pain.

Financial markets and institutional investors tend to dislike uncertainty.

As soon as a new framework is in place I think things will return to normal.

Though the Norwegian sovereign wealth fund has pledged increased investments in the UK after Brexit.

So, there’s that :)

They haven’t even “Brexited” yet. Improvement won’t come until they actually extract themselves from the untender clutches of Brussels. And unfortunately there are people in power who want that to take as long as possible and if possible collapse altogether. In brief and in true old British fashion, those people should be hanged.

You embarrass this site with your leftist articles you routinely post.

Did ya think the UK supporting their freedom and independence over cash bribes from their enemies are a bad thing Mr. Berlin?

They said the US equity market was going to crash too. How’d that play out?

Well, the most immediate effect was to dramatically increase the prices that the Brits pay for imported goods. That’s like an immediate tax on consumers. It was bound to have a negative effect.

Wow, it sure looks to me like the doom and gloomers over there are trying to create self-fulfilling prophecy.

For what logical reason would we expect Britain to fare worse as an independent country than any other independent country around the world, many of which are doing just fine?

My thoughts exactly. The average Joe isn’t feeling any impact but the bankers and elites are beginning to take a hit.

You today:
Mr. Berlin yet again! You sure post some interesting threads.
The last thread you posted claimed the Munich terrorist who yelled Allahu Akhbar had no Islamic ties.
looking sharp Mr. Berlin.
You, way back last December doing the same immature weirdo Trolling:
You were forwarding advise from Fiorina, another bottom feeder in the polls, attempting to discredit Trump.
Looking sharp Mr. Berlin.

You’re a weasel fraud.

Shall I post some of the many Trump articles and comments you posted regarding Trump? Nearly nearly all of them were meant to discredit, disparage, slander and undermine Trump. Did ya think no saw all your bull s**t hanging out here?

You should still to your soccer threads Mr. Berlin.

If I ever post to you first let me know. It would be historic.
