Is the Eu heading for recession?

Could be. Try googling 'Is the world heading for recession'.

A hard Brexit would be just the job to save the UK from a global turndown.

Seems like everyones running the same story

The same story being that China sneezes and the rest of us catch a cold.

What the Brexiteers need to ask themselves is what do they mean by "trading with the rest of the world" instead of the EU, the rest of the world is essentially China and US.

Trump is shoving up trade barriers and the UK exports very little to China and doesn't really produce anything they want.

One Brexiter argued that Britain exports Crabs to China(!).

So lets shut down the banks and focus all our energy on catching crabs.

The economy is like a garden. Sometimes it is summer. Sometimes it is winter.

And yes I did get that from a film......

Britain has a well documented inability to handle winter.

Britain has the foresight to not spend loads of money on things which may only be needed once a decade...

Had the foresight... but nowadays it seems to be needed every winter.

Not this one in the majority of the country... so far!

Supposed to get colder and colder towards end of the month

Although colder and colder seemed to imply it may get to about 3 or 4

eee back in my day cold meant cold - none of your positive figures

scrape the ice of the inside of the window, had to break the ice on the loo to do a turd

but kids nowadays expect it to be summer all the time I don't know why but i blame the EU.
