# Not down to a global slowdown then?
I think Brexit is daft, but all EU countries are one the downward trend right now due to global factors. Brexit certainly doesn't help, but it isn't the black/white logic that is being applied by all sides. I despair of the simplistic headline grabbing reporting of the economy right now. Newspapers are highly selective in their reporting and often leave out pertinent detail to give a political slant. It's all shaped to fit an agenda rather than reporting facts :-(

Yeah, both sides completely report what they want to reinforce their opinion.

Which should be no surprise, but I look at the Express, Mail, Guardian, Telegraph each day (at least check what they're reporting, if not reading it all) and it's all just self reinforcement for what they believe.

I think if they put on the bus... "But we may lose £800m a week based upon future predictions of our government makeing a shit show of negotiating" then I doubt it'd have had had the same panache.
