Neither do I ,since only one item of what he said bore scrutiny.
And that mattered not one iota in the overall argumen
And as for you Pat you never check anythign at all. eg You were grumbling about coverage of gymnastics on TV a while ago and how tiny it was. Meanwhile the local gymnastics club here (only a medium size town) attracted 500 gymnasts to a small regional competition, and coaches just as many youngsters, on average training 5-10 hours a week. And that is one club. I will wager less organised football training happens in this area by quite a big margin.
There are others only a few miles away. So Just because you dont research things...dont make assumptions.
So why do you think you know better than for example the architect of the Euro (otmar issing) , the nobel laureate economist Stiglitz, and most of the economists who predicted 2008 (unlike the IMF, the ECB, and all the silly remain economist pressure groups that produce relentless remainer hype) When they all say the euro will collapse. History says the euro will collapse.
WHy do you know better?
The one assumption I did make (budget contribution) was on the basis of a provable trend, although presently flat. And I am happy to correct anything I say that turns out not verifiable.
