The UK will forge its own path - dips have occurred first (mainly due to Covid and now Ukraine), then rising because British business will want to thrive - despite a useless government.

I was amused by your "full of shit" remark, though in total disagreement on the Redwood element of it. The rivers are "full of shit" because of greedy water companies taking advantage of lax laws (nothing to do with Brexit).

So full of shit.

‘Brexit to blame’ for UK’s sewage problems

The prime minister’s own father has said Brexit is to blame for the UK’s current sewage predicament.

Speaking on LBC, Stanley Johnson said Britain was known as the “dirty man of Europe” before joining the European Economic Community, now the EU, in 1973.

Stanley said European regulations, which he was involved in writing, had transformed the quality of bathing water around the whole of Europe”, adding the UK “really did get a cleanup”.

Pressed on the subject this morning, Feargal Sharkey confirmed the PM’s dad’s analysis, saying you have to blame the government for this “whole sorry mess”.
