The fact is the evidence isn't there. It will emerge, given normal economic conditions in the coming years.

Now stop lying. The FT gets many things wrong and based on the basket of metrics that I suggested looking it (we were asked how we would measure it) I don't see an impact.

You show me where our unemployment is higher than our peers, or our stock market has crashed, or exports have fallen off a cliff, or house prices have crashed, or inflation is way above the EU average, or wage growth is well below etc. I'll wait.

There is very little core, hard data in that FT video, and lots of opinions from one side - there is a wealth of data that would point to a far more nuanced conclusion. Of course you will always conclude otherwise, but thats you.

If you were quicker with providing actual evidence as you were with throwing about slurs I would take you more seriously.
Answer the questions - what expertise in Economics do you have and how much have you formally studied it?

BTW how am I lying if all I'm doing is point to evidence in the FT piece? Evidence that you don't like because it doesn't fit your narrative.
