Brexit could cut wages by 30% over next two decades

[Shadowmelded]

Aye, didn't that shower of clowns launch a nuke at the USA a few months back.

Still doesn't redeem them.

Why would anyone outside of Andy Murray's family give a fuck what he thinks of politics? His talent is hitting balls over a net, his opinion on tennis is relevant, on other things not so much.

World number 1 and knighted by the Queen. His opinion means a lot to Scotlanders I would imagine.

[serenka]

Uhm what? I am sure we would all be dead or at least horribly irradiated by now if that happened.

i assume they are talking about the trident test misfire that happened.

We also have a lot of people that work their asses off and still can't even afford accommodation and food and must live with their parents doing so.

The gap is ridiculous.

The accommodation problem arises when 80% of your current housing was built nearly 50 years ago. Which is exasperated by longer life expectancy and migration. Its so bad that they are thinking of pre building houses in factories to speed it up.


Then we have a generation who view manual labor as something to shun(even though Good Brickies can make £1k after tax a week), and study courses that don't really generate wealth. My county needs 70 new electricians minimum at the end of each year, we produce around 20-30.

The U.K population would be better off moving back towards production/manufacturing rather than services if we wish to increase the wealth overall and not just a few. But then people also need to take qualifications that the market needs and not saturate it with English lit majors or worse.

[Rotted]

Not going to happen, not unless everything else comes down 30% as well.

It hit Wyoming, nobody noticed.

Your right! If I'm ever undecided on a massive life changing decision I will always refere to the tedious toned musings of Andy Murray.

or just wait for the bbc to tell you who to vote for

edit: was that even bbc actually that ran the stupid "just vote no" thing?

I doubt many give a fuck.

Is tennis even popular in Scotland? I had it down as more of a Home Counties thing, like polo - the mounted sport, not VW or mints.

Not to play really (although I did play fairly often as a kid, never joined a club or anything) but people have been pretty enthusiastic about watching it for a while now thanks to Murray. Anything to forget the football.

Surely we need more media studies graduates to study media.

Aww don't be! Best thing Tenn has ever coined, it makes both you and him incredibly cute you wee Scotlander you!

I was going to say the Scotch won't like it if you call them Scotlanders, but I left that for one of you lot to deal with.

[Moralgy]

Has brexit actally happened or are we like a year later and still working out the details?

[Kalis]

That's our favoured alcoholic beverage not our nationality.

It is my favourite alcohol and a reference to a Stewart Lee joke.

From about 1.30

[Shadowmelded]

Right, that's it, square go, the lot of ye.

He's widely traveled. Much more so that the average Scotsperson.

So is the average air stewardess, should we base our political decisions on what someone who serves snacks on a plane thinks?

[Tennis]

He grew up in a wealthy town in central Scotland were I could imagine tennis being a thing but to my mind, Andy's greatest achievement is being a Dunblain Primary School survivor.

Isn't Nova Scotia in your neck of the woods?

I mean I'm not sure what relevance that has but I am planning a visit there soon. Hopefully within the next year. However, no it's hardly my neck of the woods.

I don't really see how surviving a school shooting is more impressive than becoming world number 1. You severely underestimate how competitive tennis is.

Perhaps due to Dunblane being one of the most tragic events in recent British history, whereas tennis is just entertainment.
