Little comment from Ows, no need: Ewen Stewart (Director of the think-tank Global Britain; needless to say it but I will, it is Eurosceptic)
writes on Brexit Central today: '
Global Britain just became the world’s top investment destination (despite Brexit, of course)'.
"Another week and another piece of good news in the real world – not the parallel, unproductive world of Westminster."
A dozen examples of good news stories, "
The Jeremiahs of Remain were completely and totally wrong on almost every front", followed by:
"Let us look at what has happened over the last two years:
- Inward investment – the UK for the first time ever is the global number 1, displacing the US;
- Investment is broadly based across numerous sectors including manufacturing, IT, financial services and business services;
- Unemployment is now the joint lowest since 1974;
- Total employment is now 32.7 million – the biggest ever, growing by 800,000 since the referendum – contrasting with the Treasury’s predicted 500,000 fall in employment immediately on a leave vote – a positive gain of 1.3 million jobs over what was predicted;
- Wage growth in February was 3.5% – the joint highest on record (with 2008) – ahead of inflation which was 1.9% in the same month;
- The UK minimum wage is the highest of any major country in the EU and twice that of Spain, three times that of Poland and six times that of Romania. No wonder the UK is a beacon for workers; and,
- GDP has grown each and every quarter, in contrast to the absurd Treasury forecast of a fall of 5%."
Contrasting this with the EU is an eye-opener for those unblinkered; most of us know it anyway but the Remainers seem not to want to see.
Bizarrely the Conservative Party is so in awe of its failing Brussels cousin that it has lost the confidence to demonstrate our own strengths. The Conservative Government is snatching defeat from the jaws of victory based on a false reality and shameful distortion of the facts.
