How can inflation and unemployment be dropping every single month but the economy is stagnating at an alarming rate?
Funny they've now taken down that "poor economy" story though
Absolute rank bloody amateurs

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-47224913 inflation story published today
All 3 stories contradicting one another to fit a pathetic narrative in  How can unemployment be at its lowest when poor economics is being blamed on the working sector? How can inflation be at its lowest in 2 years with poor economic data?? The media carry on as normal and no one asks a bloody question  |

And now the BBC have finally reported the distress that European companies are in over the prospect of a no deal Brexit.
Farage and co have been telling us for months that German firms are on tenterhooks. Yet the BBC haven't reported any of this, and give the impression that the UK has been given two fingers by the EU when it's all bluff. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-47223787 Has a publicly funded broadcaster ever acted against the national interest in the way that the BBC have to misinform the public by selective news reporting? Whose side are the BBC on - the UK's or the EU's? |

We are performing better than the eurozone in spite of monetary tightening and higher interest rates.

A rhetorical question Dr C. We all know the answer.

But according to the BBC the economic data is awful which fits in with their pro EU stance, which we know we're staying in but with no human rights act
Unemployment is at its lowest in 4000 years which fits in with their anti welfare state propaganda, which is nicely on board with this governments plan, plus why do we now need human rights act when everyone is in work and earning their own keep? But inflation is at its lowest in years which doesn't make an ounce of sense other than it fits in with their nothing to see here everything is great, keep spending and keep giving us money, which gives the impression to the sheep we are in great times again You can't have awful economic data, lowering inflation but its still higher than its low point, and everyone in work all at the same time  |

Go back 6 months and you'll find the absolute pits when it comes to all of this "statistics" rubbish
Next week they'll be running "awful economic" data again, which will totally contradict their "wonderful inflation news" from this week, because well, its getting closer to March 29th and the people need their fear hammer |

I've got to find their unemployment story from a few weeks ago, but stick the "more people homeless being blamed on poor employment prospects" story from about 2 months earlier alongside it
, can't seem to find the homeless story That was a doozy even for the BBC and its state master |

Our rate of economic growth has slowed - but it is still growing and at a faster rate than the EU's.
It's like inflation. A fall in the rate of inflation is taken as meaning that prices are falling when they are not- merey that the rate of year on year increase is not as great. |

I don't think anyone wants a no deal, Germany,Italy and Ireland will be badly affected in a few sectors,the UK will be imo a "toxic" place to invest in the immediate aftermath simply because it won't be adequately prepared and their reputation will be in tatters due to shambles of events so far.
The potential for a major recession is there for everyone. Is it May's ploy to hold out for the European elections? The seeds of discontent are sown,yellow vests,Italy on the brink,Merkels huge faux pas a few years ago? In response to the BBC's dithering whether everything is hunky dory or castrophic,a few stats from Oxfams home page; 500,000 people in the UK are reliant on food parcels. Over 2 million are reckoned to be malnourished ,with another 3 million in danger of so. 36% of the UK population are just a heating bill or a broken washing machine away from hardship. 1 in 6 parents have gone without food to afford to feed their families. |

They are now because they've abandoned other means of getting food when they can get it buckshee on top of their benefits. A case of supply creating its own demand. |

Absolute tripe , take a walk and count how many you see who aren't fat regardless of undernourished. |

I realise it is a business Dr and wants "shock" figures but poverty is there as it is measured and it isn't a small problem either.
The same problem is applied to other countries. The post was in response to "full employment","the economy is growing",if that is true,there a lot of people not in that particular Utopia whatever way you look at it. |

but poverty is there as it is measured
It wasn't poverty I referred to, it was ''malnourished.'' and I commented on that. |

By:
I don't dispute it seems a huge figure,i am quoting the Oxfam site(googled oxfam-food poverty), it is them who claim the figures.

we are in a similar era to when gordon brown claimed he had abolished boom and bust.
indicators are going against established trends, doubtless somebody brighter than bbc will be able to explain it in a few years time with added benefit of hindsight! |

800k job vacancies across the country. Yet we're told people can't find work.
2.2m EU citizens work here. How many from other countries?? |

^ They may be disproportioniately in the south rather than the north?
That "skint Britain" was shocking altogether, one poor misfortunate out looking for moles and rabbits,he had nothing,his dog was so hungry it wouldn't give the mole back to him. |

To strengthen my point regarding the media moving from one story to another, and not fact checking the previous time they reported on it
CNN are currently running a story about ISIS almost being defeated, only having 700 square metres left, and basically saying there's no need for large troop numbers Yet a few months ago they were slaughtering Trump for pulling troops out ? Some people call it "normalising the idea", but I call it brainless and lazy reporting, you can't have it both ways ffs |
