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.

"The breaking point came in November 2024 when Trump was elected a second time. At this point the reality was clear: over half of US voters had given up on the values of a free society. That turned a problem concerning one individual into a problem concerning a country. Even when Trump is gone, the problem will remain. It is long term. The US is, in foreign policy terms, a rogue state."

From my insular British perspective, this seems unarguable.

Me to a major NZ software house, 2010: “Coding for only Internet Explorer is short-sighted. You need to code to industry web standards, not a particular browser - let people choose a browser that best suits their needs, which supports those standards.”

Me to the same software house, 2026: “Coding for only Google Chrome is short-sighted. You need to code to industry web standards, not a particular browser - let people choose a browser that best suits their needs, which supports those standards.”

My local hardware store just installed a vending machine out front of it, in case you need things when they're closed.
I love it.
