So no matter what they fantasised, Brexit will be nothing like they imagined even before it has been realized.

And it immediately makes the country poorer and less competitive.

Gotcha

A full Brexit which tosses out the new EU arrivals (plus some others) would be the best option for the UK breh.

But that would only work if the UK became more forward thinking and results driven, in order to give more people a chance and to compete on the world stage.

The UK cannot become a new "Norway", "Switzerland" or "Korea" (etc) at present because of relatively low skills and productivity, and low quality / standards in manufacturing.

GDP ain't everything but (blue == good, red == bad)

and relative to the USA.

"This will come as something of a surprise to Americans, who generally think of Mississippi being so poor as to be almost third world in the extent of its deprivation. It'll also come as something of a surprise to most visitors to Britain, who generally see London as being representative. It isn't, London itself is the richest area of The European Union. There are other areas of Britain that are counted among the poorest. Britain is, really (and I say this as a native of the place) a truly world class and world wealthy city surrounded by an entirely unremarkable European country. And now for the surprise: Britain is poorer than Mississippi."

It Is Still True That Even Mississippi Is Richer Than Britain

What did Brexiteers vote for exactly?

:jbhmm:
A whole bunch of voters were scammed by the Leave campaign making the claim they'd pump £350million per week into the NHS . . Literally days after the referendum, the Leave campaign backtracked on that NHS claim. I think single-handedly, that claim pushed Leave for win, hence now that everyone knows its bullshyt, Remain would win a walkover in a second referendum.

Funnily enough, i think i read between fall in sterling value since the referendum, and loss of business, we've lost about £350million per week . ..and before paying off the EU ~£40billion divorce fee :why: Brexiteers generally are racist uneducated cacs, and old people. These bums were turned out in thousands on a Friday t protest. . . Unemployed bums :snoop:

GDP is an immensely flawed measurement, however, the broad point IMO to draw here can't be stated enough. Decades of extremely harsh austerity and the UK government actively warring against the working class has created a perfect cauldron of potential political unrest and mass upheaval. The countryside is bleeding to death and they want to open the wound even farther.

Brexit doesn't do anything to stave off the collapse of the country outside London because for that to happen the UK government needs to be amenable to that. And unless Labour is in power they've shown nothing to point out this as being the case.

I know people on here like to argue but

GDP ain't everything but (blue == good, red == bad).

The Austerity Program is 10.x years old.
ABC123 said:
A UK government budget surplus in 2001–2 was followed by many years of budget deficit[7] and after the financial crisis of 2007–2008 a period of economic recession began in the country. The first austerity measures were introduced in late 2008.[8]
United Kingdom government austerity programme - Wikipedia

Austerity more broadly? How so?

Do you mean that the country outside of London is going to collapse under a no Brexit scenario. How so? And when?

It's hilarious.. We take this stuff 24/7/365 .. Breh Snow lets a jokey missive slip out and "it's a war on yts", "Channel 4 is against us".. Gringos please, "liberal media" would not make "Terror" synonymous with "Muslim" and nor would it make 'Thug" analogous with "Black". Check back through history and you will see that the media has been spinning derogative yarns about black people for centuries.
Their fragility / tundra scarred fractured psyche is nauseating and is the root cause of their desire to dominate everything.
