How is that Brexit 'thingy' going Boris?

Would you do it again if you had the chance?

So many things are going wrong economically since Brexit.

There is not one positive thing to be said about Brexit effects on the UK.

Brexiteers fume at Brussels ‘sycophants’ after UK export slump

"DOOM-MONGERING" Brussels "sycophants" are "out in force at the first sign of any negative news", Brexiteers have fumed after the UK saw a 14 percent drop in exports in the three months to January.

Rejoiners have reacted victoriously to the news that Britain’s global exports are not seeing the post-pandemic recovery of the rest of the world – which on average rose 8.2 percent in the same period. But Britons have noted that “it takes time for worldwide trade to get established” after leaving an economic union.

Rejoiners fume at ‘Brexit year two’ after exports ‘decimated’
A new world trade monitor published by the Netherlands Bureau for Economic Policy Analysis earlier this week, known as the CPB, revealed the decline in trade.

It showed the UK performed poorly against advanced countries as well, where exports rose 5 percent.

Earlier in the week, the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) said the UK’s global trade “lagged behind” the country’s strong domestic recovery.

It added that the UK had “missed out” on much of the recovery trade, and suggested that “Brexit may have been a factor”.

Michael Saunders, a member of the Bank of England’s monetary policy committee said Brexit had “reduced the economy’s openness, in trade and labour mobility”.

New data from the ONS on Thursday showed that more than half of UK businesses had switched to sourcing materials more domestically since the UK had formally left the EU.

The OBR said that as the UK had become less trade intensive, the nation’s productivity would be reduced by 4 percent over the next 15 years.

Reacting to the news yesterday (Saturday), arch-Remainer Andrew Adonis used the new data to deride “Brexit, year two”, as the UK entered its second year outside the EU in January.

He added that the trade monitor, known as the CPB, suggested that the UK’s trade had been “decimated”.

However, while many focused on the stalled recovery from the pandemic, the research’s own assessment found the UK was suffering from events far pre-dating Brexit.

CPB analysis indicated that the UK had been underperforming in the long term, with exports remaining below a 2010 average.

This suggests the UK export economy has been in decline since the financial crash over a decade ago.

That Brexit thingy was one of the arch-policies of your friend Vlad, dear.

Vlad's social media influencers and the Internet Research Agency sowed fake news for Brexit. Along with News Corp and the UK Daily Mail, they pushed the Brexit vote over the line. Do you see?

That's the cunning thing about Vlad. While he'll invade the Ukraine to stop democracy leaking into Russia, he'll actively exploit the democratic mechanisms of other countries to get his own way there.

Alas, getting the UK out of the EU hasn't helped Vlad all that much, it's just one small victory in his plan to divide Western civilisation.

You?

They didn't understand it because they had a tabloid media, a major player (News Corp) based in the US, actively propagating fake news.

Brexit was a generational policy failure that has seen massive economic loss, created more red tape, and will see the slow decline of the UK. Who knows? It could see the dissolution of the UK itself if Scottland comes to its senses and is somehow allowed another referendum.

They were lucky to keep Northern Ireland - a political feat in itself, and for what?

The UK had it all in the EU. It kept the pound, it was out of the Schengen free-travel zone, it could control its currency and its borders.

In return, Brits could trade and travel freely in the biggest market on the planet, with the British government having a significant say in how the EU ran.

In the 1970s, the UK was in economic decline, after losing its markets when it lost its colonies. Joining the common market saved the UK. Joining the EU pulled the UK out of recession.

Trade deals with the US have stalled. Without Russia, another player is lost. Britain's left - maybe - with China, Canada and markets in East Asia. Without Europe, what's left?

Of I was a Brit, I'd be campaigning to get back in, but that's just me.

You?

John Boy is a WOP - and a very conscientious one, too! He's a latecomer to our shores and thus does not consider himself an Invader - so your kind should side with him in thinking all the multi-generational non-Black Australians are all Invaders etc....

I'm not a 'Pom', either - I'm part German, part Scottish and part Irish..... with a touch of some Sallow in there somewhere.... maybe a Chinker...

Well, whats done is done. I dont think EU would be very welcoming of UK returning, given all the troubles involved in Brexit. The last thing they want is returning, and leaving like a yoyo for the next few decades. No one has the time or energy for that.

Now that Europe is knee deep in war mode, US heading into recession, and China is dealing with COVID Mak 2. I just dont see how UK is going to be able to climb out of this one. Their economy and export may suffer for some years yet.
