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 What do you think of the proposal by Josep Borrell, the former High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs, that the European Union needs to be reformed with fewer but more integrated countries? Do you think the UK would reconsider something like that?

@Lubnadecordoba @ChrisMayLA6

Do not believe ANYTHING that Joseph Borrell says. He is a liar, an asshole, and a disgusting human beign. A traitor to the human race.

The little slave he was of Ursula Von Der "Liar", the Margaret Thatcher wanna be of the EU.

@DBG3D @ChrisMayLA6 Why is he a liar? Why is he a slave of Ursula? In the same statements, he said that Ursula cannot speak on behalf of the Union on issues of International Affairs, the person who can represent Europe in this matter is Antonio Costa.

@Lubnadecordoba @ChrisMayLA6

We had that MF as a minister in the transition from Franco dictatorship. He is well known in Spain for beign a weasel. As a politician is one of the worst we had.

@DBG3D @ChrisMayLA6 ¿eres paisano? Claro que conocemos a Borrell en España. Es un político español del PSOE. Fue ministro en los años 90, así que considerarlo de la transición de la dictadura de Franco no lo veo. No seré yo quien defienda al PSOE de socialista pero de ahí a franquista va un trecho.

@Lubnadecordoba @ChrisMayLA6

Si. No he dicho que sea franquista, pero vamos, intimo de Isidoro, empezo en los 70 como él, así que como si lo fuera.

Fue ministro después del 78. Y ahora recuerdo que ha soltado auténticas barrabasadas cuando empezo la guerra de ucrania y el genocidio palestino por israel.
