      @@matthewfindlay9010 We don't have enough builders, teachers and nurses. Cutting off the supply of workers is hardly going to help that. Also in modern supply side economics the supply of labour is always the limiting factor. Increasing costs due to labour shortages is hardly going to help the people at the bottom that are hit hardest by the cost of living crisis. Thats why we introduced a minimum wage so labour supply cannot drive down wages of the lowest paid. Labour shortages driving inflation will whack them though.
      The US isnt in recession its economy grew 4.4%. Neither is the EU. Ours shrank .8%.

The UK has a free trade agreement with the EU but the reason it can not engage in friction less economic exchange it once had is because we left the 3rd stage of economic integration, the single market.

    I applaud the patience of Brian, he actually ask valid questions and tried to understand the mindset of the leavers. As a Canadian, a third country citizen, it makes no difference for me to enter UK (where I live before Brexit) or Germany (where I live now after Brexit) I guess I don’t feel the heat as much, but I did move to Germany because of Brexit. As a former short-term Londoner, all my friends are remainers. I can almost guarantee you that most people who voted to leave don’t even know what EU is all about. My German partner will tell you that, without EU, the hassle of exchanging currencies, and the restrictions on movement of goods. Considered Germany had one of the strongest currencies in Europe before the EU, the Germans would still tell you that it is better being in the EU than being the outside of it. Imagine all the small European countries having to negotiate separately with all the trade deals, and deal with the fluctuation of the currencies. And if not for the EU, I reckon Russia would invade as many small European countries as they can, seeing the way they strong arm their military. I don’t know, that’s just my guess, but judging by all the superpowers in the world, at least the EU is on a level playing field with the alliance.

James O'Brien has been trying to hold people to account from day 1....but the populist idiocy, like Trump in the USA, knows no bounds!

      @luidorluidor2830 when you said in your earlier post that "we don't have the same problems as the UK has," you appear to be correct currently, at least with regard to the economy. Germany is in recession. It was announced 4 days ago that the European economy is in recession based on the 20 countries that use the Euro. The UK is not in recession, and it is expected to avoid one. I am not stating that to be smug, as I wish the best for Europe. I am just stating it so that you might challenge your own thought processes, and that you would perhaps cease to be happy with the "problems" that you perceive that the UK has.
