However it does reduce the debt to GDP ratio, which is a good thing.
As for the NI economy, NI is the smallest part of the UK economy and its GDP is lower per capita than the rest of that economy too, and the 0.7% estimate is also used by the UK, I suggest that any reduction to the contribution of the sex industry due to Maurice Morrows law would be negligible. (Ie fuck all difference)
Great to have someone like dob to be an expert on so many topics.

Any idea as to what0.7% is in money terms?

Thanks again
