Comment on UK businesses still ‘reluctant to invest’ over Brexit and interest rates
bernieecclestoned@sh.itjust.works 11 months agoAll these dismal economists are looking at brexit using boomernomics. Climate change demands a clean economy, disruption is necessary. Brexit affected carbon intensive agriculture the most. Being out of the CAP is the brexit benefit. Our entire existence is due to 6 inches of topsoil that has been destroyed by production subsidies.
And yes, Germany does very well by being in the EU, cheap currency and cheap labour for their manufacturing exports.
The UK, not so much, the single market for services is very weak in comparison to goods. And as the stats show, productivity has not been improved by being in the EU.

Yer deregulating fertilisers, pesticides and herbicides is going to be really positive for the top soil. inews.co.uk/…/britain-brexit-freedoms-bee-killing…
Being in EU was better for our services, especially our massive financial services. Losing passporting alone was bad.

GG!
And all that happened to our financial services was some desks got beefed up in the EU. Trade still happens in London. All the clearing is still done by LSH SA, in the EU. Big deal.
Short term pain, long term gain, according to Bailey

“could” and “may” well as the known bee killer is here right now.
Carney was better, anyway, again, that is uncertain future gain (doubt it) for defiant current pain.

Yes, a decent government would have banned it. Hopefully that’ll be in Labour’s manifesto
Carney was not, he left rates too low for too long and printed too much money meaning we had less headroom when covid hit. His errors are being compounded.
