Yeah, but a bunch of extremely rich people made a lot of money.
And everyone with half a brain cell has been warning of exactly this since when this Brexit madness started.
But the rich are getting richer, and that was the plan all along!
why doesn’t anyone get on TV and tell the ppl this? why is there no concerted pushback against the propaganda?
why is there no concerted pushback against the propaganda?
Excellent, keep going. Almost there!
Who are you going to tell it to, the people who were already stupid enough to yeet themselves out of the EU ?
yes. no matter what, somehow the gov needs to deliver the populace from a propaganda assault.
Nah ,stupid people do stupid things ,cant chance that
i don’t think doing nothing has worked out very well XD
Why aren’t the pro-brexit people being shamed? Stripped of their wealth and made to spend the rest of their miserable lives doing community service?
uh, because it was a referendum of the people and 17 million xenophobic idiots voted for it.
Because the pro-brexit people run the propaganda machines.
I guess because most of them have taken their cash and moved away (like this Dyson guy for example)
FFS, one of my favourite sketches perfectly sums up the Brexiteers.
I am shocked about how accurate my prediction was back before the election, I predicted that UK would lose about 1% per year over many years, if they voted Brexit.
And here we are now 10 years after the vote, and 8 years after Brexit was effectuated, and the relative decline to non Brexit is estimated at 6-8%.If UK doesn’t manage a free trade agreement with EU, I suspect this will continue for another decade, possibly at a slightly lower rate.
If UK does manage to get a good deal with EU, things will return to almost normal, but the investments that were lost this past decade will remain lost. So UK will continue from the lower level they are at now.
It is also a flashing red warning to any country flirting with economic nationalism, trade wars or the fantasy that sovereignty can replace integration.
I don’t think any other country would be so stu-… Oh, wait a second.
Cambridge Analytica comes for us all.
Canada! Run for it!
For a decade, Brexit’s defenders have insisted the warnings were exaggerated and the pain temporary. The latest evidence shows the opposite. Brexit hasn’t been a one-off hit followed by recovery – it has quietly, relentlessly drained the UK economy year after year.
The headline numbers are brutal. UK GDP is now 6–8 per cent smaller than it would have been by 2025 – worse than forecast, not better. That is a permanent loss of national income, not a blip.
Investment has collapsed. UK business investment is 18 per cent lower than in comparable economies, as firms put money on hold or moved it elsewhere. Employment and productivity are both around 4 per cent lower, locking in weaker wage growth and lower living standards.
And as a consequence, people will elect Reform at the next general election.
Yup. Cause if policy born of nationalism and bigotry couldn’t solve our problems the first time around, surely we just weren’t using enough of it. /s
It’s easier to blame immigrants and people on benefits for the problems in the economy, than realise the real problem is the leaches at the top sucking away every spare penny the working class makes.
The landlords, the executives, the millionaires, the billionaires - where do people think their money comes from?
Everything costs more, but not because it actually costs more to make - but because the profits must always go up to fuel the hoards of the wealthy.
Why are landlords so hated? Renting isn’t always a bad option.
Most folks I talk to have at least one bad landlord experience.
Most people have at least one bad experience of anything tbf.
Because they symbolize the privatization of a basic human right. Because rent is a “poor peoples tax” - and most people are poor, all things considered. You get the gist. Also: For most people, renting isn’t an option - it’s the only option.
Farage and similar colleagues will no doubt maintain that this is all down to a few impoverished people on boats. Indeed, he’s looking to weaken equality right. So clearly, it was the UK women too.
The problem with the pro-Brexit crowd is that they’ll never admit fault. The reason Brexit isn’t a huge success is down to their own personal vision of Brexit not being implemented, not because the idea was fucking delusional to begin with.
This leaves Britain as a rare modern case study: a rich country that deliberately raised barriers to trade and cooperation and paid the price.
I’m not convinced yet. Please, would another country with an even bigger GDP deliberately raise barriers to trade and cooperation?
Hold my bear…
-TrumpI wish he had a bear. It might maul him.
Didn’t they try to make him hold an eagle, once?
Trump can’t spell, I totally didn’t make a typo!
A man who stands by his typos is worthy of my friendship.
Quiet, you
