COVID and the Ukraine war has had a much bigger impact. Europe is experiencing exactly the same problems as us, in some cases worse. Very difficult to compare things with 6 years ago with everything going on in the world. Not according to many economists, who are now unpicking and comparing it. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-59070020.amp https://www.euronews.com/my-europe/amp/2022/07/05/brexit-damage-is-eu-exit-now-hitting-uks-economy-harder-than-covid you post your links, il post mine 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bolty58 Posted November 17, 2022 Members Share Posted November 17, 2022 Lovely morning. Looking out over a sun kissed ocean in a place called Mandurah and the news of the Republicans achieving majority control of the House of Representatives with 7 seats still to be decided has just come through. Biden was already a lame (embalmed?) duck and this simply makes it official. Pelosi fucked off from the speakers chair is excellent news. The less we see of her the better. "Únderwhelming midterms''? Maybe. Great result though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitesince63 Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 Yes bolty good news indeed so let’s hope that’s the start of the end of this geriatric prick Biden in 2024? Run off between Donald and DeSantos now for the Republicans which should be interesting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes mate - obviously we would have to miss out on a lot of entertainment if The Don didn't get the gig and De Santis did. "Woke comes to Florida to die" did it for me. Think the new blood could really be good from all aspects. Glad to see the back of that vicious bitch (relatively speaking of course but she will certainly have far less of a platform from which to spout her bile) and, as you say, the embalmed one is a disaster for the world. All of the megalomaniacs are emboldened knowing that the leader of the free world is a spent cartridge. Putin, Xi Jinping, Kim Jong Un all flexing whatever muscles they have in recent times knowing that the US might issue a strongly worded reprimand and fire a Nerf gun in a fit of pique. The US needs a strong man (yes, I said 'man' and feel no shame) to maintain balance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a committed Brexiteer London, I’m absolutely certain we’re worse off and I don’t need newspaper articles to tell me but it’s not “because” of Brexit, it’s because we’ve never really had a true Brexit. Nothing apart from actually leaving has been done and Remain believers have every right to ask what was it worth? Until we break completely free of the EU, including returning NI fully to the U.K. control, leave all the institutions associated with the EU and deliver what was promised, it will remain pointless and a true piece of self harm. You can’t be half in or half out. All true Brexiteers wanted a full withdrawal including No Deal so we knew exactly where we stood. Yes it would be painful at the start but could it be worse that what we have now with this ridiculous Hokey Cokey set up? I don’t think so.

I don’t think so. 👍 In what ways would leaving the EU without a deal have benefited our economy? It's hard to find any economists that believe a no deal would have left us better off. Do you know any? Genuinely interested to hear their side if so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitesince63 Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 We had this discussion before the vote and your annoyingly negative rhetoric about how disastrous a No Deal would be. A No Deal would also be disastrous for EU businesses and do you seriously believe that there wouldn’t be a trade deal reached to offset that. You talk utter bollocks because all you ever see is the downside. The EU is a busted flush and something we’re far better out of longer term.

In many cases EU businesses have moved away from UK suppliers to alternative EU suppliers since brexit because it is less complex and less expensive. Simple market forces. The UK is now 13th as a source of German imports compared to 9th in 2016. Uk also dropped out of the top ten German trading partners (imports and exports) now overtaken by the Czech Republic.
