My Saveed Miliband Pieces From The Far-Right Guardian!

Hello, friends.

And I am pleased to announce yet another service for you, my readers! From now on, I shall be copying my longer pieces from the Far-Right Guardian, here in this Progressive Left Blog!

Additionally, if this proves popular [Ha! – J.C. Oh Jeremy! Why do you always have to be such a literally wet blanket? – L.], I shall accompany them with a brief [Oh pull the other one, Lefty! You, brief? Talk about an oxymoron! – J.C. I shall not dignify that with a response, Jeremy. – L.] comment on the – literally – burning issue of the day.

But because it’s rather late today (in future, I shall publish the piece as soon as it has appeared in the Guardian – this idea only came to me literally in the bath just now), I shall, without further ado, just reproduce the piece as it appeared, earlier today, with a (Twitter) link to the original article/comment, below.

Hope this proves useful, friends! Here – literally – goes!

UK GDP figures show solid end to 2016 despite Brexit vote

Friends! The news that the UK economy grew by 0.6% in the final quarter of 2016 is naturally pretty disappointing to those of us in the Remain Camp – and never let it be forgotten, friends, that we are The 48%, a percentage which is literally growing every day, although admittedly not as quickly as the economy, sadly – who had naturally hoped for a much lower rate of growth, and indeed preferably, an actual shrinkage of the economy.

But, friends, please do not despair! As I literally never tire of pointing out, Brexit has not happened yet! And just because not all – or indeed, any – of the Remain Camp’s predictions of what would happen in the immediate aftermath of a Leave vote – e.g. a sharp downturn in economic activity leading to a sharp rise in unemployment – have come to pass, that doesn’t in any way invalidate our predictions regarding what will happen when we do leave Our EU!

Think of it this way, friends. The fact that the Remain Camp’s predictions have been so impressively and consistently wrong so far, surely just means that our predictions of what will happen when Britain leaves Our EU are almost certain to be correct. We can’t continue to be wrong indefinitely, surely? Just on statistical grounds alone, there must be a very good chance that, after producing such an impressively consistent run of totally incorrect predictions, our predictions of economic Armageddon as a result of Brexit will turn out to be correct.

And when they do indeed turn out to be correct, friends, the joy in the Remain Camp will be boundless! We’ll be able to say – literally – “We told you so!” It will – literally – serve right that tiny handful of 17,410,742 bigoted haters, who only voted Leave because they were taken in by all the LIES of the Leave Camp (anyone remember that firm promise of “£350 trillion extra per hour for Our NHS from 24.6.16 if there’s a vote for Leave! No ifs, not buts!”, emblazoned on the side of that notoriously racist omnibus? Yet another Leave Camp LIE!), and who in any case didn’t know what they were voting for!

So, friends, stay – literally – strong, unlike (hopefully) the British so-called economy – which Thatcher totally destroyed – which will, with just a little bit of luck, soon be collapsing totally, all due to Hard-Right Brexit, which hasn’t happened yet!
