From The Times of London:
Britain has world’s top economy
Britain ended last year as the strongest of the world’s advanced economies with growth accelerating in the six months after the Brexit vote, it was revealed yesterday.
Business activity hit a 17-month high last month, meaning that the economy grew by 2.2 per cent last year — more than the six other leading nations, including the US, Germany and Japan.
Far from slowing after the referendum in June, as predicted by the Treasury and Bank of England, growth appeared to have improved. GDP grew at 0.3 per cent and 0.6 per cent in the first two quarters of last year, compared with 0.6 per cent and an estimated 0.5 per cent in the final period.
as predicted by the Treasury and Bank of England - sounds like they need to get some new management over there. The low-level clerks are probably fine but the top-level management seems to not be able to see the forest for the trees. Someone needs to be there who doesn't live in a bubble. The data was there, they just chose to ignore it.
Time for the rest of Europe to follow and let those un-elected bureaucrats in Brussels go back to making chocolate and cheese.
