And now we’re officially in a recession

If your last line is your best arguement then I think you need to take a break from the keyboard and have a cuppa.

That would be better than pissing in the brewery. I would never vote for any party that would hint at rejoining that godless union.

Interesting report from Farmers Weekly who had a lot of members that were very keen on Brexit from what I remember:

Analysis: 7 years after Brexit, farmers count the cost

These figures are pretty brutal:

Re: Britain outside the EU
 

While there is very likely an element of people who never wanted to leave pointing at evidence to support their decision what’s notable is the complete absence, from either the Government or the Labour party, any ideas to recover the economic growth or competitiveness lost.

A straightforward analysis says we have been sold a pup.

Pride comes before a fall would seem quite relevant here

No government is going to make an economic success out of Brexit it’s a poisoned chalice. Tories,Labour not even if the church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster were to somehow get elected.

Off topic: would you like me to touch you with my noodly appendage ?

Brexit reduced our GDP by 5% investment by 13% trade by 7% reduced wages by £470 per year for every worker and increased food inflation by 7%, no wonder you're crying, who voted for this?

I never said you did, not everything is about you, it was a well known trope that brexit was failing because of remoaners and because people wouldn't just believe enough a while back

Re: Britain outside the EU
 

Within the constraints of agreements like the Northern Ireland Protocol and our trade deals, what three measures should Sunak take to make Brexit a success?

I think most economic unions are godless aren't they?

Re: Britain outside the EU
 

Not sure what is godless about the EU but what we have instead is so much better in every measurable way for sure :rolleyes:

Re: Britain outside the EU
 

It's not 7 years, it's 4 years.

I don't know if it will be any better in another 6 years, who knows what the geopolitico landscape will be then, 10years after.

But 4 years is too soon, especially after the economic hit of COVID and Ukraine to make any sensible evaluation.

Re: Britain outside the EU
 

10 years to realise the benefits of Brexit is a bit late for my 18 year kid who wanted to get a summer job in Spain to reinforce her Spanish A-level she will have finished by then. It seems virtually impossible to get hotel animation jobs without an EU passport unfortunately.

It’s a shame as she was really enthusiastic about doing this before university and it would have been a great experience but there you go. She can enjoy some sovereignty instead

Re: Britain outside the EU
 

World politics and economics are full of surprises. The idea Brexit (or any kind of policy) will ever get some kind of clean run without a war, or a recession, is fanciful.

In reality it has to work within these parameters and there’s no evidence that it does. If anything, it hinders rather than assists economic recovery by killing it in red tape and trade barriers.

That’s not to say it can’t work - but if the politicians are utterly devoid of ideas to make it work in the short term what makes you think they have any meaningful insight for the medium and long term?

We’ve got a virtual Berlin Wall to keep us in and nothing to keep migrants out.

Trust me we have had labour running this country since May 2007 and they couldn't organise a piss up in an urinal . Waste money on vanity projects, ie a field for green man, an airport that is hardly used, never mind 20 mph speed limit :rolleyes:
