For some reason I think its necessary to say this:
Anyone who's saying that we should stop blaming Brexit for the UK's economic travails knows little about economics.
Certainly, the UK's economic problems pre-date Brexit, but the departure from the European Union has compounded & worsened pretty much every negative trend that the UK suffers from....
To deny this is world-class bulls*t.
[apologies, spotted this headline in the supermarket earlier & it pissed me right off!]
@ChrisMayLA6 Sometimes I think a visit to Ireland might be curative for, not so much diehard Brexiters, but their credulous supporters.
Being laughed at or pitied might sow a few doubts.
They have NO IDEA how much business they sent packing to neighbouring countries. Seeing frictionless trade from the vantage of one of many new ferry services at Rosslare say.
The Irish live longer, earn more, have lower taxes, are better educated etc and export half as much as the UK w 7% of the population.
