UK inflation is 3.6%. Eurozone inflation is 2.0% The Bank of England interest rate is 4.25%. The ECB rate is 2.0% Brexit is costing the government around £50bn a year. We are paying a massive cost for not being in the EU and the Eurozone - higher inflation, interest rates, and taxes.
We knew it then and sure as shit know it now,it was a bone headed move.Much like voting for trump in 2024,although I fear that will cost more than money.
But at least the Brits get rid out the migrants... Even if that created even more problems... When a country get indoctrinated by the racist extreme-right and hate take over common sense this is the natural consequence...
the only thing dumber would be to start tarriffing everyone... oh wait...
Deep sigh. Again.
I thought the main reason you left the EU was because all the Europeans were coming in taking British jobs, right? So if you go back to the EU, you're gonna get poles, romanians and italians flooding in to take those british jobs again. Maybe you can go to Italy and work there?
Europe is generally quite nice. Former UK is shit.
Yeah but at least the fat white dudes in your country can be comfortably openly racist, that's what counts in the West
But we've got lovely blue passports. 😁
…but, but we have a deal with TACO…
......and a blue passport
... and we can all sleep happy knowing our banker bonuses are uncapped.
And Trickle Down Economics is now an official government policy.
Tbf, it's just a framework, IIRC.
Obvious bullshit I mean, it took me about 5 seconds, and I know nothing about this qery.no/inflation-tr... and inflation in France is TO LOW ec.europa.eu/eurostat/web...
Yep, saw our local news this evening, on the chaos about to be unleashed, yet again, on the people of Dover with operation Brock back in place all summer blocking the roads. No one mentioned the obvious solution - rejoin the SM/CU
there is no doubt that brexit was a massive self inflicted disaster, and it has cost the UK billions...... but your reasoning about inflation and interest rates being the reason is wrong..... even when UK was in Europe it didn't adopt the Euro so UK rates are and were going to be different......
Banks are loving it 😡😡😡
The US will catch up soon to you guys. Those right wingers and their 'fiscally conservative' ideas sure don't seem like they work, do they. At least not for the regular folks. The obscene rich, who bought the whole lot, are doing just fine, thank you very much.
Brexit costs us £100bn pa if we dare to talk about it brexitrage.com/a-better-bri...
It was always going to be this way, the country was held to ransom by its idiots, as was the US more recently.
Does that mean you could make money simply by borrowing money in Europe and depositing it in the BofE? Or do I have it backwards?
It’s of course purely coincidental how a weakened more divided Europe has benefited Putin. Is anyone else still waiting for the Russia report?
And Russia basks in the glory of their psyop victory
Racism will do that! Just check out the late could've been great USA!
Yes but the fisherman, O wait….
Generally the result if not playing nicely with others and treating them as equals. Says me sitting in the USA and knowing how this describes us even more.
Not to mention energy, lower pensions.
Growth isn’t quite Labour’s number one priority, then, eh?
It hasn't been any UK government's priority since Theresa May's speech just after the Brexit vote when she joyfully said the British people's priority was controlling immigration ABOVE improving the economy. The pound dropped (again) as she was speaking.
At least May was honest about the order of priority!
Small comfort James but yeah I guess so. People vote for this, complain when economy (and inequality) fails to deliver the jobs, pay and services they want, then double down on falling for the anti foreigner crap again... and again... and again
The sooner Scotland leaves you morons the better for them. You got what you wanted.
My usually reliabe sense of sarcasm fails me on this one. This is what happens when you intentionally rouse the rabble. America is finding out now as well as they exit the world stage as a leader and descend into buffoonery.
For the 2nd time
Nah. We entered buffoonary in 2016. We've become a full on tragedy at this point. There's no laughing at this anymore.
I stand corrected, you're quite right. Buffoonery was indeed left behind a decade ago, although it seems like a lifetime now. It's tragic because it was so predictable.
It really was. Perfectly avoidable to. We did not need to end up here.
Brexit is what happens when ignorance votes.
Your country voted out of it made no sense to me, my country elected a convicted felon
