Winter checking the failure of Brexit

We could never have imagined that confirmation of the failure of Brexit would come in the first 24 months of the actual exit of the European Union.

Data, trends and shutdown companies are down, the ultra-liberal courage of Brexiteers has plummeted, and the lower it is, the more European projects have been removed from the middle of the stone in the boot blocking progress on a joint venture.

This week, we learned about the predictions of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), in which it was made clear that the United Kingdom will witness the largest recession and economic decline of the Group of Seven major industrialized countries, and that growth in the coming years will be the smallest among them all.

The UK will be ahead of many countries and is the only G7 economy that has not yet recovered to pre-pandemic levels.

The first positive data will come in 2024 and it will be a ridiculous 0.2% growth.

Not only does the OECD foresee a bleak future, but the Bank of England and the Office for Budget Responsibility also believe that we are facing a major recession and crisis, and in fact they are less positive than the OECD.

The mortgage pressure that families are experiencing will increase when the Bank of England rises again, to 1.5% (from 3% to 4.5%) in 2023, and the problems families are already experiencing with energy prices and inflation above 11% will only worsen. Short and medium term. Savings are disappearing and many families will be in debt in the next couple of years.

Jeremy Hunt, chief executive in Sunak’s government as finance minister, is an expert at selling lies or half-truths.

Mr Hunt looks for the country with the highest inflation rate or the country that has suffered the largest hike in interest rates and points his finger at one and the other to avoid talking about the fact that in a global comparison the UK has the weakest position in the European environment.

Jeremy Hunt remains determined to untangle the economic havoc wrought by Brexit, despite having all the data on his table the problems of attracting workers or lower exports by UK firms and the slight improvement to be expected.

They are left with the realization that economic partners across the English Channel have already found new suppliers in other countries within the European Union, and that the barrage of offers for economic treaties with faraway countries never came and never will.

Meanwhile, Brexit polls continue to show an increase in people lamenting the direction of their vote in the 2016 referendum that promised us independence and freedom that would increase the country’s economic potential…all the independence you want, but in exchange for the economic stagnation that That would bring the tail.

The strikes continue and more strikes are being announced in various industries and the nurses just announced a strike for the 15th and 20th of December.

Staff at universities went on strike this week, and railroad workers, who have already been on strike for the past few weeks, have announced they will strike at Christmas, just when more families are counting on their service.

More than 150,000 civil servants voted to strike in front of a government in a race to try to cut staff in ministries and public institutions despite the problems that downsizing would cause a striking population. in the public sector.

Primary and secondary school teachers are also voting on whether to strike, and employees at the Postal Service have already gone on strike for several days, including Black Friday.

Rather than put out this fire, the fire service is considering adding more fuel to the fire than the blows that are spreading through a country in crisis that has many of us looking to our future in a place that seemed like the perfect place to live and carry on. a job.

And Will Hill, a British citizen, would leave his girlfriend, Ida Boglund-Larsen, composed and without a boyfriend in Denmark, because Will was unaware that Brexit meant not only the withdrawal of freedom of movement for European citizens in the direction of the United Kingdom, but also as it was withdrawn from Brits who thought they could still do whatever they liked in the EU.

Will Hill would have to apply for a visa and maybe he could continue his life in Denmark, where he was staying… They are asking the same thing of him as we are of European citizens in the UK.

Another Briton with the same problems, Philip Russell, has the courage to ask the British government to “condemn Danish behaviour” and even, unaware of the British Home Office’s incompetence, ventures that “Denmark is using the inefficiency of the immigration system itself as a pretext to deport British citizens”.

The air of British supremacy dissolves and they realize that as much as they like to use the term ‘expats’ to define themselves, little by little they come to realize that there are only expats but immigrants… like the rest. . The invention of non-immigrant terms only shows the stratification practiced by a large part of its population and it is very good that the difficulties they suffer when they want to move to live in the European Union come to the fore, leaving their privileges intact. leave their country.

The winter will be long. Perhaps the economic winter will continue beyond 2024, and then we will see what consequences the population will have to pay while the economic elites continue to play with the country as if they are playing a game of Monopoly.
