Hi Dubs.
Yes the 4% was on top of the other reasons you list. Except for "EU intransigence" which is part of the cost of Brexit.
All the other EU countries have gone through this same list. Including Brexit.
And yes its very hard in business in this country at the moment, one catastrophe following another.
Thanks for that interesting graph and explanation.
- but can you really say that it was
just Brexit ?… and not what was on my list? … when your graph just shows comparisons of GDP?
Looking at it carefully … as you can see from the dates … the UK had a surge in GDP at the time of the Brexit vote … and around 2019 … just before the Pandemic kicked in to v. damaging effect.
Analysts might put this down to the following:
1) Boris/Tory huge landslide victory promise to “get Brexit done” … the confidence that gave …
2) … and v.delayed ‘transition’ was finally getting going … GDP briefly skyrockets.
We can surmise why it fell so rapidly:
1) GDP is not a great indicator of sustained growth and long term economic health?
2) Globalists deliberately triggered BLM rioting at the end of Trump’s period in Office denting the American economy … and with it UK trading confidence and transatlantic trade..
3) Deep State and Globalists
arguably triggered a Worldwide Pandemic to destroy the FREEDOM initiatives of the Brexit/Trump alliance movement threatening to sweep the World.
[Note:Stifling Free Speech (destroying the first President to bypass Administrative/Media CENSORSHIP and controllers - in negotiating detente with Putin + communicating directly with The Electorate through Twitter … this was a direct challenge to Deep State and Globalist totalitarianism - including forced immigration agendas … like Brexit was..🤔]
4) Remoaners and the EU were interfering with the Irish border issue. stirring Scottish Independence to break up and fragment the UK … currently doing the same in Russia’s security corridors.
Would you trust these people to now run the UK? … no, never … TRUST COMPLETELY BROKEN.
They likely scuppered smooth trade through our ports(inc long long Dover lorry queues - never before known in our Administrative history - to that degree - why now? … surely we can point at deliberate sabotage?
Obstructive slow red tape bureaucracy designed to kill businesses - especially those transporting perishable goods …This shows the mindset of a minority determined to exert their bullying on us to U-turn.
5)
Lockdown damage … of businesses and people. A deliberate policy to cause super crippling economic damage just as transition was being rolled out 6 years too late) … This went totally against the UK’s normal Pandemic Strategy .. as adopted by Sweden.Btw … Sanctions will cause another GDP crash across Europe … not seen on your graph yet, Zany.🤔
I wonder how our GDP compared to Germany, Italy, France and many other EU Countries BEFORE we joined the EU … For years after we joined the Common Market, Brussels and Germany/France suppressed and marginalised UK influence and the power of London’s Finance/Market Hub drip by drip. …. It was all facilitated by our spineless politicians and their inability to shift the behemoth of EU Commission intransigence - grown lazy and happy to guzzle in the trough of EU political gravy train handouts and party in Brussels on champagne, caviar and truffles …
We want competent local representation that can govern the whole of the UK efficiently and economically … We need a new Parliament … and Britons in charge who will feed profit 100% back into our Country and it’s indigenous people … like ALL Countries should … in the Good Old Empire Days.
…. we won’t get that doing a U-turn and slithering back into Europe at the back of a handout queue … being marginalised and defunded again.
… or by having a BBC listening to useless bitter, constantly begging, constantly moaning immigrant hacks - who experienced no slavery first hand … a privileged elite writing bullshit about the downsides of Colonialism … and none of the benefits their generation squandered and destroyed.🤔
