Gromit: They have said our RATE of growth is greater. You ain't that dim. Read what is actually wrtten.

[Gromit]

// UK’s GDP surges past both France and Germany’s //

Is what is written.

Enough stupid nonsense for today.

Nighty night.

Nighty night.\\ - yes but the context is defined before that as the RATE of growth. Is poor literacy a 5C thing ?

Are we allowed to call Gullible an idiot now? It opens up a whole new avenue of oppurtunity for the discerning amongst us if so. If you only read the clickbait headlines of every web page does that mean that you are still subscribed to the Beano "cos the pictures are easy to understand? 

[Gromit]

TTT, 

No it isn't. Here is the Express link again.

Gromit, wrong, the first sentence says:

"Post-Brexit Britain is defying the doubters, thanks to better- than-expected growth figures." - so we are talking about growth not total amounts.

[Gromit]

Togo,

The OP believe (incorrectly) that we had overtaken Germany on GDP, due to the lying headline.

The whole point of this thread was gloating over something that hadn't actually happened.

Even after Boris' lying fest in No.10, it is sad that you are all prepared to defend untruths, disinformation, lying, however you determine it. ☹️

[ToraToraTora]

You are making yourself look a right wally gromit. No one is saying the UK gdp is higher than Germany, it actually is greater than France that are also mentioned but that's not what anyone either in the article or on here is talking about. We are talking about the rate in growth of the GDP not the total GDP. You can see that from the words actually used. If they were saying that the GDP is higher they would not have used the word "growth". Stop being obtuse, you ain't really as thick as you are making out.

[Gromit]

TTT,

The title of this thread:-

// UK’s GDP Surges Past Both France And Germany’s //

And the Express' headline, are an attempt to deceave. To lie, To peddle disinformation. It took 20 posts of this thread to sepearate a minor better rate of growth from the country GDP figure.

Shockly dishonest, and done on purpose.

[ToraToraTora]

Yes the headline writers do that but then when you read the story you see the hyperbole. Remember "Freddi Starr ate my Hamster"?  The article makes it clear in the first sentence that it is talking about growth. The head line just omits one word hardly a "lie" more of an introduction of ambiguity.

[ToraToraTora]

Everyone except you gromit knew it was talking about growth rate.

[Togo]

There are some pictures in this link. You will be able to grasp the concept easier Gromit. A bit like your favoured cartoon images I think.

// Everyone... knew it was talking about growth rate. //

Except the OP apparently. And the first half dozen of posters.

[Togo]

//And the first half dozen of posters.//

 

The op mirrored the headline from his link, and most other linked sites. Non of the first 13 posts mentioned growth or GDP. The 14th did. Guess who it was! You are delusional. Stop making unfounded accusations against honest contributors. Your likes are killing what could be a good site. 

[Gromit]

// UK’s GDP Surges Past Germany's //

It hasn't.

What is ruining the site is people posting lies to support their fantasy that the government is doing well. It isn't.

[bobbinwales]

we established about 100 posts ago that express quote was wrong in isolation but was quickly explained by the article. Noone here was fooled/mislead. I'm not sure why you keep going on about it now gromit

[Togo]

//their fantasy that the government is doing well. //

 

There you go again   ...   no one is talking about the Government, just you. Again bringing in an unrelated point as a cheap deflection. The whole thread is about the UK economy doing rather well. Despite this fact not going down well with you it remains a fact. In the words of James Carville    ...   "It’s the economy, stupid."

[ToraToraTora]

bob: "I'm not sure why you keep going on about it now gromit" - because gromit and his 5C compatriots cannot bear to think that our GDP growth is faster than any of his beloved EUSSR nations. Indeed anything that is UK positive brings them out in bubons.
