Look, if you want to argue that the UK is wealthier post Brexit then that's fine with me but you are simply out of touch with reality, besides that if the Union fractures - and there is a fair chance that it will - then none of this is more than noise, the end result of that will be a massive financial loss.

So you're welcome to your worldview but the reality is that the UK has just had one of the worst years in living memory and that the only dispute you might have is over how much of it is due to COVID-19 and how much due to Brexit. Since we have the rest of Europe as a baseline I don't think that that is undoable, and it doesn't look particularly good for the UK.



I dunno dude. All I did was look up the GDP time series. The fact that there is an increase prompts my comment.


There is no increase. Whey do you keep repeating these things when they are trivially disproved?

I think you are trolling me now. I originally said we are not poorer and that government figures support me. The increase I thought I recalled is not there, but my thesis is supported. And the recovery is from a dip that has nothing to do with Brexit.

Why the rage and rhetoric? I have corrected a few of your mistakes in your haste to rubbish everything on this island post-brexit. and that only sparks anger from you. It is your privilege to hate every aspect of Brexit, but if you are plotting its doom, surely better to equip yourself better with facts and to make some of your assertions less wild.
