Why is Ireland broken in the picture? They’re making like bandidos at present. They cleaned up after Brexit. A €46 billion surplus predicted for 2024 & 2025. Granted, trade with the U.K. dropped around 15% last year, and is now near parity from a large U.K. surplus, but other trade made up for it.
Yeah, would be more palatable if only the six counties were shown, esp. as it's superimposed on a Union flag! I know, it's pedantic but also sensitivities eh?
There are layers on obliviousness in the graphic. I left others to be annoyed that the 26 counties were in at all. It was like all that crap they used to spout about Ireland suffering from Brexit, overlooking that (at the time) the UK had a huge trade surplus.
Why is the Republic of Ireland even in the graphic? Because it's a graphic created by someone in England. Including the occupied north of the island, you can kinda understand.
