You are both being very silly.

As I’ve already said, the baseline was reset by Covid. Had we remained in the EU, we would be no better off economically than we are now. There is no mutual ‘pull’ there - they’re all looking after themselves. Germany is in the deep doldrums, France remains totally up itself, Holland and Italy are in political turmoil, Poland seems to be doing well, etc.

Because people want to better themselves (=need) and business must make profit to survive (=must), so it will. This has happened before and requires the government to create an investment friendly business regime - which they haven’t properly done.

Had we remained in the EU, we would have had the same stupid government, no independence of action but maybe fewer boat people.
