More Brexit Bad News

[Hymie]

TTT can now add the Financial Times to those on the list of lefty-5C types, who point out what a disaster Brexit is for the UK.
(Those already on the lefty-5C list include the Office for National Statistics, the Office for Budget Responsibility, the Bank of England, the Institute of Directors, and others)

The word ‘disaster’ looms large in the FT article – perhaps they have been reading my AB posts.

"UK Exports Lowest in G7..... because of Brexit" ... Never knew the UK was still a member of G7.

[davebro]

The international Group of Seven (G7) is an intergovernmental political forum consisting of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States; additionally, the European Union (EU) is a "non-enumerated member".

the European Union (EU) is a "non-enumerated member".
er it is not a country, and so cant be part of a group of countries.
And if you think about it, some countries have 1 1/7 vote ( or vote twice - ish)

poor gully
whenever he opens his mouth ( mush to you) - he seems to drive even the sanest ABer ( er, well, leave that one) - wild and incoherent with anger.

Do we really care whose warped view fails to value sovereignty ? Remoaners seem to get everywhere.
Let's be quite clear here, Brexit is not responsible for reduced exports no matter whose fantasy that is. All it took was a little decency from the EU, in place of their deliberate obstruction, and trade between us need not have changed. And as any nation outside the EU is perfectly capable of not letting our EU exit affect trade either, Brexit can not be the cause of any issues there. In fact new trade agreements are being added as we go.

The real issue is, and clearly remains so from the continuous stream of critical threads, the power plays from various groups and their supporters who have nothing better to do than push propaganda against even their own nation. They should be ashamed not to support the UK in the face of external political shenanigans trying to take advantage of the UK, but they'd rather denigrate their nation instead. A peacetime version of fifth columnists.

The Brexiteers continue with their falsehoods.

//Brexit is not responsible for reduced exports//

I don’t even think Reece-Mogg would be foolish enough to make such a false statement – and he is willing to make almost any false statement in support of Brexit.

[ynnafymmi]

As i said previously Hymie-English Tories and Scottish SNPers(the Tartan Tories)are responsible for this Brexit shi.....nonsense.Blame them and them only.
