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.

@ChrisMayLA6 this reminds me of two sayings about Springer media in Germany (Bild, Welt) which perfectly fits such tabloids.

(a) The "Bild" which is so disgusting that one would insult dead fish when wrapping in it. (shortened from V. Pispers)

(b) This newspaper is an organ of depravity. It is wrong to read it. Anyone who contributes to this newspaper is utterly unacceptable in society. It would be wrong to be friendly or even polite to any of its editors. One must be as unfriendly to them as the law just barely allows. They are bad people so big bad things.

and we're so glad they've now bought the Telegraph, which will give them another outlet for all that.... /s
