Apart from the obvious' blooper' over Boris , I think it is pretty accurate.

[jourdain2]

NO.

[EDDIE51]

can I ask why?

[tonyav]

I hope not.

[Baldric]

No I don't, not after checking out the AUthor of it.

[Ellipsis]

It's from Feb 22, so the Boris "blooper" turns out to be a huge misjudgement on what would happen - perhaps not the only one?

[Peter Pedant]

yeah I do
every word

well argued - goes from premisses thro an argument to a conclusion

a literary form NOT often seen on AB and therefore unrecognised
no wonder everyone else on AB is going 'wot dat den ? '

[jourdain2]

I'm off to bed, don't believe it because of the author and the date. Pretty slewed.

[Baldric]

///no wonder everyone else on AB is going 'wot dat den ?///

Superiority Complex kicked in again PP?

No... Because it was written by Anatole Kaletsky....an economist who sways in the wind and makes statements like these so that his friends and paymasters can make fortunes on the market movements he creates. He is a paid lackey of the Institute for New Economic Thinking, a foundation established after the 2008 financial crisis with $200m of grants from George Soros, Paul Volcker, William Janeway, Jim Balsillie and other leading financiers.

You believe every word, PP ... including these ones?

--------------------------
One reason is Cameron’s decision to release his ministers from party discipline during the referendum campaign. Initially viewed as a sign of weakness, Cameron’s move has turned out to be a masterstroke. Having been offered the freedom to “vote your conscience” on the EU deal, every significant Conservative politician has come round to support Cameron.

These newfound EU loyalists include two of the most potentially influential eurosceptics, London mayor Boris Johnson and home secretary Theresa May.

George Soros, Paul Volcker, William Janeway, Jim Balsillie and others were the very people who engineered the 2008 economic crash, making themselves trillions of dollars, then "donated" to the new world order of financial machinations that they themselves carry on benefiting from at the expense of us all. This prat is a lickspittle, albeit a clever machiavellian one.

as far as Boris goes, he was saying what had happened, not predicting what would. He was correct at the time.

Odd that people think coherent arguments they don't like are "slewed" and ones they do like are "telling it like it is". Give me Kaletsky over Marine Le Pen any day.

[jno]

Togo, the crash derived from the deregulating of financial markets, particularly in banking, which left them free to make idiot housing loans. That dates back to Thatcher.

I feel I may have exhausted my pick n mix adjective box. Catch you in the morning after R & R.

//That dates back to Thatcher.//

Haha the failsafe fallback has been dead for years and it is the only slur left in the handbags of the fifth column. God rest Mrs Thatcher the devil take the rest.

[Hopkirk]

I saw lists the other day of which Conservative MPs have declared which way they will vote.

Of those who have declared, the majority of the cabinet is in the remain camp.

However among Conservative backbenchers, the majority are siding with the leave group.

jno> as far as Boris goes, he was saying what had happened, not predicting what would. He was correct at the time.

This article is being presented as "accurate" (Eddie's OP) and "believe every word" (PP) as of Sunday 24th April, but it was written on February 22nd and is demonstrably inaccurate and wrong already ... let alone how it will be by the time of the referendum.

This is just another example of somebody not noting the date of an article when sharing it on AB. It happens quite often.

[Hypognosis]

The people who start share slides, by cashing out, aren't the same as the schmucks who lose out due to responding too slowly.
